The Canadian Paediatric Surveillance Program (CPSP) is looking for investigators to initiate new studies for active surveillance of low-frequency, high-impact diseases and conditions that affect Canadian children and youth. Interested investigators should contact the CPSP to discuss topics of interest and to submit their proposals by March 4, 2024 for consideration at the Spring CPSP Steering Committee meeting.

Hyperglycemic hyperosmolar state (HHS), an acute complication of type 2 diabetes that stems from a relative deficiency in insulin.  The CPSP launched a new study on June 1, 2023 to determine the populations most at risk for and precipitating factors of HHS in childhood, and gather data to inform guidelines on the presentation, management, and rates of complications of HHS in children. For more information, please visit our website.
