Northwestern ICU (NWICU) database

Retrospective medical data collection is essential for advancing patient care,
offering insights and supporting the development of health technology. The
Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care (MIMIC)-III database has been
instrumental in providing comprehensive critical care data to facilitate
research efforts. Building upon the foundation of MIMIC-III, MIMIC-IV
introduced a modular data structure and fostered an open-source community to
enhance the data. Here we introduce Northwestern ICU database, a critical care
dataset collected from a network of hospitals located in Chicago and
harmonized with the MIMIC data structure.

回顾性医疗数据收集对于推进患者护理、获取临床洞察以及助力健康技术研发均至关重要。重症监护医疗信息集市（Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care, MIMIC）-III 数据库一直以来发挥着关键作用，其提供的全面重症监护数据为各类研究工作提供了有力支撑。基于MIMIC-III的研发基础，MIMIC-IV采用了模块化数据结构，并通过搭建开源社区进一步完善了数据集内容。本文将介绍西北大学重症监护数据库（Northwestern ICU database），该数据集采集自芝加哥地区的医院网络，其数据结构与MIMIC系列数据库保持统一规范。
