This database has been filtered, cleaned, and de-identified, recording a variety of rich clinical information throughout the entire hospital stay of patients admitted to the NSICU. It contains 8,773 individuals with 20,530 episodes' demographics, laboratory tests, vital signs, microbiology culture, examinations with reports, medications with extra special chinese herbal, orders, operations, and surgery with anesthesia. More than 26% of patients have records of more than three hospitalizations.
