1 year ago Since records from drugitems don't have a fixed unit field per medication, the dictionary does not contain them either. However, for each drug administration you can determine the administered dose using the following fields:
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| administered | float | administered dose, which may or may not be the same as prescribed dose |
| administeredunit | string | unit of administered dose (e.g. mg) |
| administeredunitid | integer | id of administeredunit |

Hello,
I was trying to extract the total dosage of steroids patients got during their ICU stay but I noticed that for all the steroids (itemids: 6922, 7106, 10628, 6995, 8132, 9130, 13102, 10582, 13104, 9054, 19133, 9031, 9129), there no units in the preloaded dictionary.
This is how I load in the dictionary:
import amsterdamumcdb as adbdictionary = adb.get_dictionary()When I do this:
dictionary[dictionary['itemid'].isin(list_of_steroid_item_ids)]All of the values under 'unit' are NaN. Is there another place I can get units for the dosage values for these drugs?
