Table 1

[theonesp]

Can we put together a Table 1 for the NIS and eICU-CRD cohorts? It is crucial that we have comparable cohorts for the 2 databases. If not, we have to come up with a way to select comparable cohorts from the 2 databases.

Sample Size
Age (mean)
Gender (% males)
Co-morbidities (% of total, e.g. Congestive Heart Failure, Chronic Kidney Disease, etc.)
Illness severity score (we have to figure out the mapping of the administrative data-based score with APACHE-IV)
Proportion of patients on mechanical ventilation
Proportion of patients who receive new renal replacement therapy
Hospital mortality
Hospital length-of-stay of survivors

To reiterate, we will be confining the study to patients with sepsis based on Angus criteria admitted in 2014 and 2015. We are excluding patients who have ESRD on hemodialysis.

We are excluding patients who have ESRD on hemodialysis.
We are excluding patients matching these conditions:

  LOWER(treatment.treatmentstring) LIKE ANY ('{%rrt%,%dialysis%,%ultrafiltration%,%cavhd%,%cvvh%,%sled%}')
  AND 
  LOWER(treatment.treatmentstring) LIKE '%chronic%'

In the end we are studying all years and taking into account AKI (only AKI = 1 included) instead of ESRD
