Finding dosage treatments for patients in MIMIC-III

[pshuwei]

Hi, I'm a doctoral student interested using this database.

My PI and I are particularly interested in looking at different treatments for patients, and in particular those treatments should have different dosages.

Does the ricu/mimic-iii data have anything on that?

Thanks!

Hi,

Thanks for the question. There is a number of different treatments in the ICU that have varying dosages. For example, you can consider treatment with insulin (ricu concept ins) which is given for lowering glucose levels. Another commonly used class of drugs in the ICU are vasopressors which are used e.g. for patients with cardiogenic shock. In ricu, the common concepts for this are norepi_rate, epi_rate, dobu_rate, dopa_rate, which are reported across a number of datasets.

Good luck exploring!
