Note: See Labs for more general info on the labs data.

The Critical Care database counts the laboratory tests listed at S_AllLabs for every patient for their entire LOS in a unit. Different collection of labs is collected at HSC than elsewhere. Some lab data at HSC is imported directly.

Lab Collection Process

  • For every ICU patient,
    • for every laboratory test on S AllLabsTable
      • locate the specific lab, enter the number of times the test was performed
      • if a culture is taken but the sample was inadequate to produce a result, the culture is still counted under lab counts
    • if a patient has no labs by the end of their stay, enter a date and leave zeros under all the labs
