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. China is a large country with a huge patient population, contributing to the generation of large healthcare databases in hospitals. In this data descriptor article, we report the establishment of an openly accessible critical care database generated from the hospital information system.
重症监护医学作为医学的一个专科，为患有危及生命的并发症和损伤的患者提供紧急医疗服务。该医学专科的特点是在常规实践中产生大量高粒度数据。目前，这些数据已在医院信息系统中妥善存档，主要用于常规临床实践。然而，数据科学家已经注意到，对这些大数据的深入挖掘可能为潜在疾病的病理生理学和医疗保健实践提供深入的见解。已经建立了几个公开的重症监护数据库，这些数据库产生了数百篇发表在科学期刊上的科学产出。然而，这项工作在中国还处于起步阶段。中国是一个拥有庞大人口的大国，这使得医院产生了大量的医疗保健数据库。在本数据描述性文章中，我们报告了从医院信息系统中建立一个公开可用的重症监护数据库。
