Length of hospital stay is, along with patient mortality, ''the most important clinical outcome'' for an ICU admission. Accurately predicting the length of stay of a patient can aid in assessment of the severity of a patient's condition. Of particular clinical relevance, making these predictions early and with a non-zero time gap*between the prediction and the outcome is of real-world importance: predictions must be made sufficiently early such that a patient's treatment can be adjusted to potentially avoid a negative outcome. The importance of this prediction task for real-world clinical care is underscored by the many previous works in the medical literature addressing this prediction topic (see our paper for references). Here only the table PRESCRIPTIONS is used. The multiclass ROUTE column typically refer to the route of drug administration. Here's what those abbreviations commonly mean in a clinical context: PO: By Mouth (Oral) IV: Intravenous IV DRIP: Intravenous Drip SC: Subcutaneous SL: Sublingual IM: Intramuscular NG: Nasogastric Tube PR: Per Rectum OU: Both Eyes (Oculus Uterque) IVPCA: Intravenous Patient-Controlled Analgesia IH: Inhalation TP: Topical DIALYS: Dialysis NU: Nurse Administered ORAL: Oral (By Mouth) IV BOLUS: Intravenous Bolus PO/NG: Oral or Nasogastric Tube TD: Transdermal BOTH EYES: Same as OU PB: Piggyback IV ED: Epidural REPLACE: Replacement Therapy G TUBE: Gastrostomy Tube ET: Endotracheal DWELL: Dwell Time (e.g., in peritoneum) IR: Irrigation VG: Vaginal LEFT EYE: Oculus Sinister (OS) NEB: Nebulization IN: Intranasal ID: Intradermal AU: Both Ears (Auris Uterque) OS: Left Eye IRR: Irrigation OD: Right Eye INHALATION: Same as IH IA: Intra-Arterial AS: Left Ear (Auris Sinistra) AD: Right Ear (Auris Dextra) J TUBE: Jejunostomy Tube LOCK: IV Lock IT: Intrathecal IJ: Intrajugular IP: Intraperitoneal PL: Placenta Administration LEFT EAR: Same as AS NAS: Nasal TT: Transtracheal RIGHT EYE: Oculus Dexter (OD) EX-VIVO: Outside the Body NS: Normal Saline BU: Buccal BOTH EARS: Same as AU BUCCAL: Same as BU SUBCUT: Subcutaneous (SC) SCPUMP: Subcutaneous Pump ND: Nasoduodenal PERIPHNERVE: Peripherally Inserted Nerve AERO: Aerosol IO: Intraosseous VT: Ventilation Tube RIGHT EAR: Same as AD PO/IV: Oral or Intravenous OG: Orogastric Tube PO/PR: Oral or Rectal RECTAL: Same as PR SCPCA: Subcutaneous Patient-Controlled Analgesia IVT: Intravitreal IC: Intracardiac IVS: Intravenous Subcutaneously NG/OG: Nasogastric or Orogastric Tube ENTERAL TUBE ONLY: Not Oral, via Tube PO OR ENTERAL TUBE: Oral or Tube PO/OG: Oral or Orogastric Tube INTERSPACE: Between Spaces (e.g., vertebrae) INTRAPERICARDIAL: Into the Pericardium LUMBAR PLEXUS: Nerve Plexus in the Lumbar Spine AXILLARY: Axillary Region (e.g., underarm) This dataset was obtained from Kaggle: https://www.kaggle.com/hussameldinanwer/mimic-iii
