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提升患者诊疗质量、获取临床洞察并助力医疗技术研发至关重要。重症监护医疗信息集市（Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care，MIMIC）-III 数据库曾为科研工作提供全面的重症监护数据，发挥了关键的支撑作用。基于MIMIC-III的研究基础，MIMIC-IV 采用了模块化数据结构，并搭建了开源社区以完善数据集。本文现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，并按照MIMIC的数据结构完成了标准化整合。
