The MIMIC II Clinical Database

The new PhysioNet website is available at: https://physionet.org. We welcome your feedback.

A highly used version of the MIMIC II Clinical Database is v2.6, released in April 2011. It contains 32,536 subjects (with 40,426 ICU admissions) admitted to medical, surgical, cardiovascular and neonatal ICUs, surgical recovery units, and coronary care units at a single tertiary care hospital.

This database (version 2.4) is described in:

MIMIC II documents a diverse and very large population of intensive care unit patient stays and contains comprehensive and detailed clinical data, including physiological waveforms and minute-by-minute trends for a subset of records. It establishes a unique public-access resource for critical care research, supporting a diverse range of analytic studies spanning epidemiology, clinical decision-rule development, and electronic tool development. The MIMIC II Clinical Database, although de-identified, still contains detailed information regarding the clinical care of patients, and must be treated with appropriate care and respect. Researchers seeking to use the full Clinical Database must formally request access to the MIMIC II Database.

The non-text portions of 110 records from the MIMIC II Clinical Database are publicly available.
