Critical Healthcare (SCCM Project)

Project in collaboration with clinicians to address real-world problems in healthcare using existing databases.

This project was part of a datathon with Society of Critical Care Medicine (SCCM), which involved coloration with clinicians and pharmacists to develop a data-driven model for care of critically ill patients using large health record databases.

Problem Description:

Are there differences in sedative agent selection in adult patients on invasive mechanical ventilation based on race or ethnicity.

Databases:

We used two critical care databases: MIMIC-IV (Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care) database and the eICU collborative research database.

BigQuery and Colab:

We used BigQuery to easily explore the large datasets using SQL.

See example code on my github repository.
