MIMIC-IV: Data Tutorial

Abstract

As healthcare has digitized, the amount of information contained in electronic healthcare records has exploded. In this tutorial, we overview the information available in MIMIC-IV, an update to the MIMIC-III database. MIMIC-IV contains deidentified data for over 60,000 patients admitted to ICUs at a US tertiary academic medical center. We cover the tables within MIMIC-IV, what type of information these tables contain, and how a single patient’s stay can be understood from the data available.
