This was a major release which involved a schema change, potentially breaking compatibility with existing code. + +Changes include: + +* #68: The medication table had the following modifications: `drugname` and `dosage` can now be NULL. Frequency of administration has been added in a new column called `frequency`. +* #69: In all tables columns which had a suffix of `time`, `time24`, and `year` were removed, *except* for a single instance in the patient table. These columns were redundant and can be easily rederived if needed using offsets and joining to the patient table. +* #70: Ten tables have been added to the public release. They are: customLab, intakeOutput, microLab, note, nurseAssessment, nurseCare, nurseCharting, physicalExam, respiratoryCare, respiratoryCharting. Documentation of these tables is available online. +* #71: Hospitals which do not have any corresponding patient admissions have been removed from the hospital table. + +In addition, the website now contains Jupyter notebooks for each table which highlight potential usage of the data. # eICU Collaborative Research Database v1.2
