Description

So far, the Note_Table is not publicly available. Thus, we cannot accquire free-text clinical notes for CTPA and echocardiography in MIMIC IV. Then, we find some ICD-9 and ICD-10 code diagnoses of pulmonary embolism (e.g. 41519 and I2699) for the primary diagnosis. Is the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism based on gold standards such as CTPA or other angiography?

The issue names ED_diagnoses and MIMIC_IV_diagnoses_icd; start by checking the documentation or data dictionary for those tables and the provenance of pulmonary-embolism ICD codes. Done means a documented answer stating whether the codes are based on CTPA or angiography, and clarifying the Note_Table limitation.
