The authors also describe that international research consortia, such as the International Forum of Acute Care Trialists and the International Severe Acute Respiratory Consortium, as well as hospital networks and databases such as the Spanish Network for Research in Infectious Diseases, Australia and New Zealand Intensive Care Research Center, and Intensive Care National Audit and Research Center, have made great progress towards creating the needed infrastructure during the interpandemic period that will allow for quicker responses during a pandemic (7). Multicenter collaborations and infrastructure augmentation is a good start, and these should be strengthened during interpandemic periods. Research infrastructure in place to study epidemic influenza and other diseases in ICUs is thus extremely important for future pandemic preparedness.We must retain the momentum and interest sparked by the pandemic in the postpandemic and interpandemic periods to strengthen ICU-based clinical research programs. The importance of studying potentially pandemic diseases such as seasonal influenza in this period must be reinforced with ICU administrators, research coordinators, as well as physician and other ICU staff. Only through a constantly evolving, integrative approach to studies of these diseases that include hospital networks and databases, international consortia, and collaborations between critical care providers and scientists, will we be able to meet one very important goal of ICUs worldwide—to always be prepared.
