## Population and Data
|
|
|
|
This study was designed using the Medical Information Mart for Intensive
|
|
Care (MIMIC) database [@johnsonalistair]. MIMIC (Medical Information
|
|
Mart for Intensive Care) is an extensive, freely-available database
|
|
comprising de-identified health-related data from patients who were
|
|
admitted to the critical care units of the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical
|
|
Center. The study uses version IV of the database, containing data from
|
|
2008 - 2019. The database contains many different types of information,
|
|
but only data from the patients and laboratory events table are used in
|
|
this study.
|
|
|
|
## Data Variables and Outcomes
|
|
|
|
A total of 18 variables were chosen for this study. The age and gender
|
|
of the patient were pulled from the patient table in the MIMIC database.
|
|
While this database contains some additional demographic information, it
|
|
is incomplete and thus unusable for this study. 16 lab values were
|
|
selected for this study, this includes:
|
|
|
|
- **BMP**: BUN, bicarbonate, calcium, chloride, creatinine, glucose,
|
|
potassium, sodium
|
|
|
|
- **CBC**: Hematocrit, hemoglobin, platelet count, red blood cell
|
|
count, white blood cell count
|
|
|
|
- TSH
|
|
|
|
- Free T4
