  2. Death from infection is genetically determined.

  3. Death from infection is genetically determined.

  4. Death from infection is genetically determined.

  5. Death from infection is genetically determined.

  6. A tiny proportion of swine flu patients will develop organ failure

  7. The technology is available now to find the genes responsible

  8. The real challenge is data analysis: we have the tools to do this.

  9. Scotland is uniquely placed to conduct this work. • World-class medical research + bioinformatics • Small, centrally-run health service and Critical care research network • Generation Scotland • We have started!

  10. What we need from every previously healthy patient with swine flu who requires HDU/ICU: • Consent / assent • 9mls EDTA blood sample

  11. Any previously well adult, with suspected or confirmed H1N1 who is assessed as requiring critical care. • Previously well: any patient who has no chronic systemic disease causing functional impairment. • Critical care: either high-dependency (level 2) or intensive care (level 3). • Assessment of need for critical care is by any doctor with admitting rights to the critical care area.

  12. SITE FILE

  13. Summary • £50 for each patient recruited • Every patient in GenISIS must be entered into SwiFT Acknowledgements: • www.prognosis.org/GenISIS_Investigators.php

  14. THE SwiFT STUDY: • Government audit of impact of swine flu on critical care • No consent needed • Essential for GenISIS patients.

  15. SwiFT • H1N1 • suspected or confirmed • Requiring critical care (HDU/ICU) • Non-H1N1 • Requiring critical care (HDU/ICU) • Denied critical care during pandemic
