In MIMIC-IV, what is the difference between 'Heparin Sodium (Prophylaxis)' and 'Heparin Sodium' in mimiciv_icu.d_items? #1735

In the d_items table, 'Heparin Sodium (Prophylaxis)' has the unit 'dose', while 'Heparin Sodium' has the unit 'units'. How many units are equal to 1 dose? Under what circumstances would a patient be administered 'Heparin Sodium (Prophylaxis)' versus 'Heparin Sodium'? |

Hm maybe try cross-referencing with the prescriptions / eMAR table to figure out how many units are in a dose. It's probably a standard formulation - I don't want to hazard a guess at what though. |

Which field should I use to connect it with the prescriptions/eMAR table? Is it the 'orderid' in mimiciv_icu.inputevents? And which field should it correspond to in the prescriptions/eMAR table? Please forgive me, I am a novice. |

prescriptions and emar can be linked, and the documentation tries to highlight how (the "links to" section): https://mimic.mit.edu/docs/iv/modules/hosp/emar/
inputevents does not link to the hospital data. However you can do an approximate match using time of day, but they are documented separately, so they won't always perfectly match. |
