The eICU Collaborative Research Database is a large, multi-center intensive care unit (ICU) database with high granularity data for over 200,000 admissions to ICUs monitored by eICU Programs across the United States. The data is de-identified, and includes vital sign measurements, care plan documentation, severity of illness measures, diagnosis information, treatment information, and more. The freely available nature of the data will support a number of research applications into machine learning algorithms, decision support tools, and clinical knowledge generation.

The MIT/Philips eICU 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 database must formally request access (PhysioNetWorks login required. If you don't have a PhysioNetWorks account, please create an account first.)
