The participating metavision enabled wards are CWIN, INBD, INIC, and INIC. INCV and CWCV are used for cases associated with SARS-COV-2, this includes SARS-COV-2 ARDS and patients with coincidental positive test and other cause of intensive care. CWIN and INBD are high level intensive care units, INIC and INID low level (intermediate care or patients that do not need advanced therapies like CRRT or invasive ventilation).

Validation

All cases are cross-matched with a second database. This method excludes more than 99% of test patients. In case of unsuccessful matching, cases were excluded.

The dataset is in constant development. Feel free to contact us when you find a significant amount of invalid data.
