Warning: This ETL currently needs a lot of resources to run.

This repository contains the ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) code to convert the HIRID dataset into the MEDS ecosystem.

HiRID is a freely accessible critical care dataset containing data relating to more than 33 thousand patient admissions to the Department of Intensive Care Medicine of the Bern University Hospital, Switzerland (ICU), an interdisciplinary 60-bed unit admitting >6,500 patients per year. The ICU offers the full range of modern interdisciplinary intensive care medicine for adult patients. The dataset was developed in cooperation between the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) Zürich, Switzerland and the ICU.

The dataset contains de-identified demographic information and a total of 712 routinely collected physiological variables, diagnostic test results and treatment parameters from more than 33 thousand admissions during the period from January 2008 to June 2016. Data is stored with a uniquely high time resolution of one entry every two minutes.

pip install HIRID_MEDS # you can do this locally or via PyPI

If you want to convert a large dataset, you can use parallelization with MEDS-transforms (the MEDS-transformation step that takes the longest).

Using local parallelization with the hydra-joblib-launcher package, you can set the number of workers:

pip install hydra-joblib-launcher --upgrade

Then, you can set the number of workers as environment variable:

export N_WORKERS=8

Moreover, you can set the number of subjects per shard to balance the parallelization overhead based on how many subjects you have in your dataset:

export N_SUBJECTS_PER_SHARD=100000
