Description

Hello :]
This question has already been asked in the discussions section, but there's still no answer there
What is the dosing of heparin in the inputevents table with itemid = 225975. It says amount=1 and amountuom=dose in there, but it is how clear to me how much is 1 dose of heparin. Is there a link to other tables maybe? A significant amount of stay_ids received this drug, so I'd like to include it in my research. I apologise for duplicating this question

Research direction

Start by tracing itemid 225975 in the MIMIC inputevents table and checking the repository’s available schema or data documentation for the meaning of amount=1 with amountuom=dose. Done means identifying a documented dose mapping or clearly recording that the available data does not define it.
