The NHEPACHA Iberoamerican Network, founded on the initiative of a group of researchers from Latin American countries and Spain, aims to establish a research framework for Chagas disease that encompasses diagnosis and treatment. For this purpose, the network has created a questionnaire to gather relevant data on epidemiological, clinical, diagnostic, and therapeutic aspects of the disease. This questionnaire was developed based on a consensus of expert members of the network, with the intention of collecting high-quality standardized data, which can be used interchangeably by the different research centers that make up the NHEPACHA network. Furthermore, the network intends to offer a clinical protocol that can be embraced by other researchers, facilitating comparability among published studies, as well as the development of therapeutic response and progression markers.
NHEPACHA 伊比利亚美洲网络由来自拉丁美洲国家和西班牙的一组研究人员发起成立，旨在建立一个涵盖奇卡氏病诊断和治疗的研究框架。为此，该网络创建了一份问卷，以收集有关该病流行病学、临床、诊断和治疗方面的相关数据。该问卷是根据网络的专家成员的共识制定的，目的是收集高质量的标准化数据，供 NHEPACHA 网络中的不同研究中心互换使用。此外，该网络还打算提供一个可以被其他研究人员采用的临床方案，以促进已发表研究之间的可比性，并开发治疗反应和进展标志物。
