Description

Hi,

Thanks so much for your rich MIMIC-III. I have a question regarding the matched data. Right now we are finding a low matching rate between the Matched Subset and the Clinical Database records. The dates don’t match well in a large proportion of the cases. How should we match when the dates do not match?

SUBJECT_ID 107: 1 of 3 matches

Matched Subset Records (pXXNNNN-YYYY-MM-DD-hh-mm):
p000107-2124-01-10-05-53n
p000107-2123-07-26-03-10n
p000107-2122-05-14-21-02n

Clinical Database ADMITTIME/ DISCHTIME:
2115-02-20 17:41:00 / 2115-02-21 16:30:00
2121-11-30 19:24:00 / 2121-12-05 14:18:00
2122-05-14 19:37:00 / 2122-05-18 15:11:00

Thanks for your help,
Gene

Research direction

Start by comparing the matched-subset identifiers and dates with the Clinical Database records shown for SUBJECT_ID 107. Determine the intended matching rule for date discrepancies and document or validate the expected result; done when the matching behavior and handling of mismatches are clearly established.
