Raw Fields of data_float_h
| Name | Description | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| CaseID | Case identifier | |
| DataID | Reference stored in d_references | DataID=ReferenceGlobalID |
| Offset | Time in seconds after admission | |
| Val | Value | |
| cnt | Amount of values aggregated | |
| rawdata | List of 60 floats containing raw data | Due to excessive storage needs minute values have been aggregated. |
Aggregation Description
Most signal data is averaged. The field data_float_h.cnt describes the amount of values aggregated. It is to be expected that the first signal values have less than 60 data points, as it is quite unlikely (1:60) that signal starts on minute 0.
Raw values are saved in field data_float_h.rawdata, being a list of bytes. (IEEE 754 Single(4 bytes), LittleEndian)
The recommended way to access this data is using our provided software (Get Started). An example on how to deserialize the raw_data field can be found here.
Metavision does, in database, not differentiate between qualitative (i.e. blood pressure) and quantitative (i.e. drainage volume) data, this was done programatically saving the sum instead of average.
Known Limitations
0 Values
All values were aggregated to hourly average values. As in many cases Metavision saves 0 values during signal loss times instead of NULL aggregating these would significantly influence statistics. Think about a patient with constant MAP of 60 is disconnected for 15min, aggregating would result in a average MAP of 45. For this reason 0 values were set to NULL and ignored. This behaviour is expected to represent in nearly all cases the most likely value.
In very special cases, like cardioplegia, where 0 would be a correct pulse rate, expect values to be missing. Contact developer in case you need this data.
