I hope this message finds you well.
I am currently working with the MIMIC-IV v2.2 database and have observed an interesting detail regarding the intake of calcium recorded in the ingredientevents table. The values for calcium intake are listed in milligrams (mg); however, I have noticed entries with decimal points, such as 0.08 or 0.18. Given these observations, I am seeking confirmation on whether the unit of measurement for calcium should indeed be grams (g) rather than milligrams (mg). The presence of decimals suggests that there might be a discrepancy in the unit of measurement as it does not align with typical clinical data, where calcium intake is usually measured in milligrams.
Accurate unit specification is essential for the integrity and reliability of clinical research. Therefore, I would greatly appreciate your assistance in verifying the correct unit for calcium intake in the database.
Thank you very much for your time and attention to this matter. Your prompt response will be highly beneficial for our ongoing research.
Warm regards !
