Dialysis #83

Closed ragi24 closed 4 years ago

ragi24 commented 5 years ago

In the eICU database, do we have data on the type of dialysis (i.e., intermittent hemodialysis and continuous renal replacement therapy) as well as the volume of fluid administered during dialysis and volume removed?

I have the same question. I read the original paper which mentioned that note table records procedures. So, I tried to query note table by: select notepath from eicu.note where lower(notepath) like '%dialysis%access%'

But there was only 362 records. I think this is not complete dialysis record. Is there any way that we can get acute dialysis patients?

BTW, about UF problem, it is noted in intakeOutput table.

I would look in the treatment table for dialysis, not the note table.

hhchang0210 commented 5 years ago

Thanks for reply. That works. I have a question about that. Some contents of treatmentstring showed renal|dialysis|hemodialysis|for chronic renal failure. Some showed renal|dialysis|hemodialysis|for acute renal failure. But, some are revealed renal|dialysis|hemodialysis. Can I regard renal|dialysis|hemodialysis as acute dialysis, or I need to check that with diagnosis of AKI?

alistairewj commented 5 years ago

You should check. I doubt that field differentiates chronic vs acute need for dialysis.

I had a discussion with clinicians and they suggested we should use this query to identify those who are on renal replacement therapy:

select distinct patientunitstayid from physionet-data.eicu_crd.intakeoutput where dialysistotal<>0

In total,there are 5030 patients identified.
