The first release is MIMIC- II (Multiparameter Intelligent Monitoring Intensive Care), which contained patients’ data at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center between 2001 and 2008. Since the MIMIC was one of the few first available databases, many research publications are concluded based on MIMIC-II. To relate it with the current data website: https://mimic.physionet.org/mimicdata/whatsnew/describes the relationship between tables to understand how it was upgraded. MIMIC-III is an extension of old MIMIC-II, which was later incorporated with further data from 2008–12.

Overview of MIMIC-III critical care database

MIMIC-III is presented as a compilation of comma-separated value (CSV ) files. THE MIMIC-III DATASET of 100 records can be downloaded directly from Physionet, but access to all 26 tables, a particular MIT-based course is required. The course “Data or Specimens Only Research” course ensures defining data regulation laws for research purposes. Here is a table present-
