Outcomes & Alternate Outcomes (Time-Varying)

Outcomes

Description

This table contains the type of outcome for the encounter (over 8 hour windows) as well as a variety of indicator variables indicating whether individual outcomes happen over the following 24, 48, or 72 hours. Each row represents a distinct encounter in the GIM ward and an 8-hour time window from admission.

Attention should be paid when attempting to use this data to predict patient outcomes. There is a significant disparity in outcomes between release and other outcomes, which must be taken into account with any analysis.
