MIMIC IV - sporedata/researchdesigneR GitHub Wiki
General description
The Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care (MIMIC)-IV database comprises comprehensive and de-identified clinical information on hospital stays for over 60,000 patients admitted to ICUs at a tertiary academic medical center in the US.
Clinical areas of interest
- Epidemiology
- Predictive modeling (due to the effectiveness of modeling approaches on large datasets).
Variable categories
- Patient tracking information - patient demographics, a record for each hospitalization, and a record for each ward stay within a hospitalization.
- Intravenous and fluid inputs, patient outputs, procedures, information documented as a date/time, and other charted information.
- Outpatient laboratory tests, laboratory measurements, microbiology cultures, provider orders, medication administration, medication prescription, hospital billing information, and service-related information.
Unique variables
Vital-sign circadian rhythms. See - Vital-sign circadian rhythms in patients prior to discharge from an ICU: a retrospective observational analysis of routinely recorded physiological data
Linkage to other datasets
MIMIC-IV is an update to MIMIC-III, incorporates contemporary data, and improves on and carries on the success of numerous aspects of MIMIC-III.
