microlabs incomplete? #73

Closed rkamaleswaran closed 4 years ago

rkamaleswaran commented 5 years ago

Is the microlabs table incomplete? There are about 16k entries, I'd reckon many more got cultures than what is available in that table. Can you confirm?

alistairewj commented 5 years ago

Yes unfortunately microbiology data is not really available in eICU-CRD.

rkamaleswaran commented 5 years ago

That's a bummer, any idea if there is any plan in the near term to include it? I'm trying to apply sepsis-3 on this dataset but it's quite difficult without this piece of data.

alistairewj commented 5 years ago

I don't think it's possible. The data is never collected in the system where we source eICU from.
