Paediatric Intensive Care database

The Paediatric Intensive Care (PIC) database is a large paediatric-specific, single-center, bilingual database comprising information relating to children admitted to critical care units at a large children’s hospital in China. The database is de-identified and includes vital sign measurements, medications, laboratory measurements, fluid balance recordings, diagnostic codes, demographic information, and more. The data are publicly available after credentialing, which includes completion of a training course on research with human subjects and signing of a data use agreement mandating responsible handling of the data and adherence to the principle of collaborative research. The PIC database builds upon the success of the widely used MIMIC (Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care) database, and extends the approach into the field of paediatric critical care. The database has many unique characteristics which support academic and industrial research including the development of machine learning algorithms, clinical decision support tools, quality improvement initiatives, and international data sharing.

《儿科重症监护（PIC）数据库》系一项庞大且专属于儿科的、单中心的、双语数据库，其中收录了与我国一所大型儿童医院重症监护病房收治患儿相关的各类信息。该数据库已进行脱敏处理，并包含生命体征测量、用药记录、实验室检测数据、液体平衡记录、诊断编码、人口统计学信息等。经过资质审核后，数据对外开放，资质审核包括完成关于人类受试者研究的培训课程，并签署数据使用协议，该协议要求对数据进行负责任的处理，并遵守协作研究的原则。PIC数据库在广泛应用的MIMIC（重症监护医疗信息市场）数据库的基础上进行了拓展，将该方法应用于儿科重症监护领域。该数据库具有众多独特特性，支持学术研究和工业研究，包括机器学习算法的开发、临床决策支持工具的构建、质量改进项目和国际数据共享。
