Description

Prerequisites
Description

Similar to issue #799 - I have access to MIMIC-IV and I can see how TPN ingredients can be documented both in inputevents and also in ingredientevents. However, I'm having difficulty finding the lipid components for TPN w/ Lipids, which frequently has no additional lipid information under either of the above tables. Do you have any other suggestions of where I might be able to find this information? I've reproduced an example below where I've listed all labels associated with a particular linkorderid in both tables for TPN w/ Lipids.

inputevents:

orderid linkorderid label amount amountuom
3616457 3616457 TPN w/ Lipids 643.233867 mL
3616457 3616457 Dextrose PN 108.854961 grams
3616457 3616457 Amino Acids 27.21374 grams

ingredientevents:

orderid linkorderid label amount amountuom
3616457 3616457 Protein 27.21374 grams
3616457 3616457 Water 643.233867 mL
3616457 3616457 Calories 478.961836 Kcal
3616457 3616457 Parenteral Nutrition Ingredient 643.233867 mL

Research direction

Start by reviewing the MIMIC-IV documentation and related issue #799, then inspect the documented inputevents and ingredientevents tables for the example linkorderid 3616457. Determine whether lipid components are stored elsewhere or are unavailable for this order; document the authoritative source or limitation so the question can be answered.
