About this course

This course will introduce MIMIC-III, which is the largest publicly Electronic Health Record (EHR) database available to benchmark machine learning algorithms. In particular, you will learn about the design of this relational database, what tools are available to query, extract and visualise descriptive analytics. The schema and International Classification of Diseases coding is important to understand how to map research questions to data and how to extract key clinical outcomes in order to develop clinically useful machine learning algorithms.

What you will learn

  • Understand the Schema of publicly available EHR databases (MIMIC-III).
  • Recognise the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) use.
  • Extract and visualise descriptive statistics from clinical databases.
  • Understand and extract key clinical outcomes such as mortality and stay of length.
