Declarations
:
: This study was a retrospective observational design with publicly available data from the MIMIC-IV database, which includes information on critically ill patients admitted to the ICUs at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) from 2008 to 2022. The data acquisition process adhered to all relevant regulations. Author BX Y obtained a CITI license (Record ID 12,861,338) and the necessary permissions to extract data from the MIMIC-IV database. The project was approved by the Institutional Review Boards of both the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and BIDMC and followed the STROCSS guidelines. Our research was conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki. Since the MIMIC-IV database includes fully de-identified patient records and all protected health information has been removed in accordance with HIPAA privacy standards, patient consent for publication is not applicable to this study.
