ICU Var 6 has various uses.
Possible Values:

Data Structure
See Category:Variable_codes_1_to_6 for details
Legacy Data
- S - Study patient. Any patient enrolled in an ICU study. (tag started: July 1999)
- Primary reason to use this tag was to ID those patients that had more than average blood test done during their ICU admission. A number of patients in clinical trials had agreed to additional lab tests for monitoring. This use to affect the average lab test stats, so we tagged them as "S" and had the option to exclude if study is reason to be an outlier.
- "S" removed as option in CCMDB.mdb Ttenbergen 11:59, 2 November 2010 (CDT)

Discussion
H still used?
What if conflicting values apply?
- What if several apply? I.E. what is to be coded if a patient is both "P" and "AMA"? We can't record both, so likely they should not all be recorded in the same variable. If none can be dropped, we need to prioritize the importance of coding them, and Julie needs to put that caveat on her numbers. --Ttenbergen 03:22, 24 July 2008 (CDT)
- Tina, I am rushed today but essentially a FT patient would never leave AMA. So no worries. Laura (26 Jan 2009)
- but how about a pre-booked (P) fast tracked (FT) patient? Ttenbergen 12:01, 2 November 2010 (CDT)
