concepts

Contents of this folder

This folder contains scripts to generate materialized views in a PostgreSQL database with MIMIC installed. If you do not have access to a PostgreSQL database with MIMIC, you can read more about it in the buildmimic folder.

Concepts are categorized into folders if possible, otherwise they remain in the top-level directory.

Subfolders

comorbidity

These scripts derive binary flags indicating the presence of various comorbidities using billing codes (ICD-9) assigned to the patient at hospital discharge.

cookbook

This is an asortment of scripts intended to give the user more familiarity with the MIMIC-III database. None of these scripts generate materialized views.

demographics

Summary of patient/admission level information such as age, height, weight, etc.

firstday

The first day subfolder contains scripts used to calculate various clinical concepts on the first day of a patient's admission to the ICU, such as the highest blood pressure, lowest temperature, etc. This folder contains many useful scripts which can be adapted to capture data outside the first day.

functions

Useful snippets of SQL implementing common functions. For example, the auroc.sql file calculates the area under the receiver operator characteristic curve (AUROC) for a set of predictions, PRED, given a set of targets, TAR. The AUROC is a useful measure of the discrimination of a set of predictions.

other-languages

Scripts in flavours of SQL which are not necessarily compatible with PostgreSQL.

sepsis

Definitions of sepsis, a common cause of mortality for intensive care unit patients.

severityscores

Severity of illness scores which summarize the acuity of a patient's illness on admission to the intensive care unit (usually in the first 24 hours).

durations

Start and stop times for administration of various treatments or durations of various phenomena, including: medical agents which have a vasoactive effect on a patient's circulatory system, continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT), and mechanical ventilation.
