In general the structure of reprodICU orients itself along the lines of the modules of the https://www.medizininformatik-initiative.de/de/basismodule-des-kerndatensatzes-der-mii (basic modules of the MII core data set) and the https://www.medizininformatik-initiative.de/de/erweiterungsmodule-des-kerndatensatzes-der-mii (extension modules of the MII core data set).
This means that there are now the following tables:
patient_information is a combination of the Person and the Case module.
Anthropometric and other demographic information, as well as information about the hospital stays (i.e. durations, locations, reasons) may be found here.medications is basically equivalent to the Medication module.
It includes the medications given, a lot of them mapped to their active ingredients. Not included is any outpatient medication and/or some non-injectable medication (i.e. pills etc.) depending on the dataset. Route of administration and dose is mostly available.
May increase in size in the future, when additional mappings are performed and/or improved.diagnoses is basically equivalent to the Diagnosis module.
It includes the diagnoses (mostly ICD-coded), however, some datasets don’t include this specific information. Some additional hints may be taken from the Admission Diagnosis (APACHE) column of the patient_information table (CAVE: this column is imperfect, see references there)procedures is basically equivalent to the Procedure module.
It includes the procedures (mostly ICD-coded), however, some datasets don’t include this specific information (e.g. eICU has only free text, since manual mapping to ICD was deemed too large of a task at the moment).
CAVE: There may be breaking changes to this table in the future, to more adequately conform to the Procedure module standard.timeseries_vitals includes the most important vital parameters and thus is a subset of the ICU extension module.
CAVE: Temperature currently consolidates all measurements from all anatomical locations. This may change in the future (but not without advance communication).timeseries_labs is basically equivalent to the Laboratory test results module.
Included at the moment is only the result (measured value), the source of the specimen and the method of measurement.
timeseries_labs columns are so called structs — working with them is a bit different than general columns, see here for a quick tutorial…timeseries_respiratory includes the most important respiratory parameters and thus is a subset of the ICU extension module.timeseries_intakeoutput is not equivalent to any specific MII module. It includes information about any fluid intakes / outputs of the patient.
