There are 6762 very old ICU records who are listed as survived but don’t have a discharge-to. This is from HSC-only days when there simply were no checks. We will leave these be, just documenting here.  
* Emailed Julie: "In setting up linking I came across 6762 old ICU patients who are listed as survived but don’t have a discharge-to. ... I suspect this is known and that the field was added later (just from where it is). Do we have a record when (or at what study #) coding this started." Ttenbergen 11:14, 2014 May 21 (CDT)
*As far as I know we have always put in a discharge to.  I am surprised there are so many without this information, it sounds like a computer error, is this possible?--[[User:LKolesar|LKolesar]] 07:38, 2014 May 22 (CDT)
** There are pts with a discharge-t from very early on, but there were much fewer error checks then. The affected patients are very early patients, the latest is from 1998/Aug/11. I flagged this to Julie partly to confirm if it's an import error.Ttenbergen 12:56, 2014 May 22 (CDT)

**Prior to 1999 only HSC had the database.  I only started as a data collector in April,1999 when STB and the other hospitals came on board.  --[[User:LKolesar|LKolesar]] 09:14, 2014 May 26 (CDT)
