In 2008 an open, multicentral, retrospective and prospective Cohort of the Spanish Paediatric HIV Network (CoRISpe) was founded. The CoRISpe is divided into the node 1 and node 2 representing geographically almost the whole territory of Spain. Since 2008 seventy-five hospitals have been participating in the CoRISpe. All the retrospective data of the HIV-infected children have been kept in the CoRISpe since 1995 and prospective data since 2008. In this article we are going to present the notion of CoRISpe, its role, the structure, how the CoRISpe works and the process how a child is transferred from Paediatric to Adults Units. The main objective of the CoRISpe is to contribute to furthering scientific knowledge on paediatric HIV infection by providing demographic, sociopsychological, clinical and laboratory data from HIV-infected paediatric patients. Its aim is to enable high-quality research studies on HIV-infected children.}, organization = {Funding: This work was supported in part by grants from Fundación para la Investigación y Prevención del SIDA en España (FIPSE 240800/09, FIPSE 361910/ 10), Red Temática de Investigación Cooperativa Sanitaria ISCIII (RED RIS RD06/ 0006/0035 and RD06/0006/0021) and Paediatric European Network for Treatment of AIDS (PENTA).
