Hi,
Thank you for the fantastic data!
Can I check please? on page https://mimic.physionet.org/mimicdata/datatypes/ it is noted that some tables are sourced from hospital data and don't necessarily relate to ICU stays.
I am interested in the prescriptions and microbiologyevents tables - the question is, are these known to contain all prescriptions and microbiology results from entire hospital stays, or is it more that they may contain information that are not from ICU stays?
Thank you, Chris

The microbiology table does indeed have all fluid cultures from the patients' hospital stays. I am not sure about prescriptions but I will ask - I think it does.
