Paediatric Research in Emergency Departments International Collaborative (<scp>PREDICT</scp>) at 20 years: Challenges of an emergency research network
The Paediatric Research in Emergency Departments International Collaborative (PREDICT) has operated as an emergency research network in Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand for 20 years. A focus on both knowledge generation and, over the last decade, knowledge translation research has produced more than 200 network publications. Active research sites have increased from the original 12 sites to 47, with enhanced representation of where children with acute illness present in both countries. We outline ongoing challenges across the network, which will be relevant for those providing acute paediatric care and to other emergency clinicians interested in multicentre research collaboration.
