How to find diets of icu patients in the database, especially enteral nutrition, transoral diets

alistairewj commented 4 months ago

Check the ingredientevents table. This contains caloric intake and other information related to patient diet. However, this table only exists for those receiving some kind of input, i.e. it likely doesn't track oral intake. I say this as every row in the ingredientevents table is associated with an entry in the inputevents table, so it will only have diet information if there is an entry in inputevents (which is typically enteral nutrition, etc).
