Declarations
:
: The establishment of MIMIC III database was approved by the institutional review boards of Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Massachusetts Institute of Technology Affiliates. This is an open and free database, and researchers must complete an online course at the National Institutes of Health, known as Protecting Human Research Participants, before they can apply for permission to access it. The Protecting Human Research Participants’ exam was passed to gain access to the MIMIC III database and consent was obtained for the original data collection and analysis (certification number 38653219). All the information in this database was anonymized to protect patients’ privacy, so the ethical approval statement and the informed consent were waived. The authors confirm that all methods were performed in accordance with the relevant guidelines and regulations.
