Hospital Deterioration (Simulated) — Early Warning Time-Series Dataset (Next 12h)
#2
by tarekmasryo - opened
🏥 A fully simulated clinical time-series benchmark for early warning modeling.
Each admission includes hourly vitals + labs + patient context, with a main label for “deterioration in the next 12 hours”.
📦 Dataset snapshot
- Simulated / privacy-safe (no real patients)
- Hourly granularity per admission (hour_from_admission)
- Main target: deterioration_next_12h (0/1)
- Clean schema with no missing values (simulation-designed consistency)
🗂️ Files included
- patients.csv (static + admission context + summary outcomes)
- vitals_timeseries.csv (hourly vitals + oxygen support + nurse signals)
- labs_timeseries.csv (hourly labs + sepsis_risk_score)
- hospital_deterioration_hourly_panel.csv (joined full panel with labels)
- hospital_deterioration_ml_ready.csv (features + single target; recommended entry point)
🔎 Feature groups (high-level)
- Patient context: age, gender, comorbidity_index, admission_type, baseline_risk_score, los_hours
- Hourly vitals: heart_rate, respiratory_rate, spo2_pct, temperature_c, systolic/diastolic_bp
- Oxygen support: oxygen_device, oxygen_flow
- Care signals: mobility_score, nurse_alert
- Hourly labs: wbc_count, lactate, creatinine, crp_level, hemoglobin, sepsis_risk_score
🎯 Target definition (why it’s useful)
- deterioration_next_12h = 1 if an event happens after the current hour and within the next 12 hours
- This mirrors real early-warning systems: alert before deterioration, not at the same moment
✅ Good for
📊 EDA + monitoring-style dashboards (risk trajectories over time)
🤖 Baseline ML + sequence models (hourly tabular / time-series)
🧪 Calibration + threshold/policy design (trade-off: recall vs false alarms)
🧠 Teaching end-to-end clinical ML pipelines without real EHR data
⚠️ Modeling notes (to avoid leakage)
- Split by patient/admission (patient_id groups), not by rows
- Use time-aware validation when evaluating “next 12h” forecasting
- Treat this as a simulation benchmark — validate on real EHR + clinical oversight before any real deployment
🧾 Educational/research use only — not for clinical decisions.
