The paper title: Racial Disparities and Mistrust in End-of-Life Care

Link to original paper: https://proceedings.mlr.press/v85/boag18a.html

Type of contribution: Dataset

Description: As part of an extension to analyze ventilator administration duration and vasopressor administration durations, which were used to analyze racial disparities among cohorts of patients in MIMIC-III, we extended the work to derive similar tables for MIMIC-IV, which do not currently exist, and use them to analyze possible disparities within the MIMIC-IV dataset.

Derivations were based on MIMIC-III queries and the ones used can be found at https://github.com/mrimland/DL4H-Racial-Disparities-And-Mistrust/blob/main/Notebooks/GenerateVentVasoTables.ipynb

Eventual official derivations will likely be found at https://github.com/MIT-LCP/mimic-code/tree/main/mimic-iv/concepts

We also incorporate the dataset into the underlying MIMIC-IV dataset, and allow for splitting of the three tables we generated into independent frames for use.

Future tasks can also join these tables with other tables on stay_id.

Hey matthew/athan, I like where you're thinking, the derived dataset looks more like a task though. If you guys could change it to a ventilation or vasopressor task, that'd be perfect.
