Establishment of a Chinese critical care database from electronic healthcare records in a tertiary care medical center.

ABSTRACT: The medical specialty of critical care, or intensive care, provides emergency medical care to patients suffering from life-threatening complications and injuries. The medical specialty is featured by the generation of a huge amount of high-granularity data in routine practice. Currently, these data are well archived in the hospital information system for the primary purpose of routine clinical practice. However, data scientists have noticed that in-depth mining of such big data may provide insights into the pathophysiology of underlying diseases and healthcare practices. There have been several openly accessible critical care databases being established, which have generated hundreds of scientific outputs published in scientific journals. However, such work is still in its infancy in China
