Table 1_Weight changes and all-cause mortality in critically ill patients: a multi-center

A retrospective cohort study of 30,537 adult critically ill patients from the U.S. eICU Collaborative Research Database. The research investigates the association between body weight change rate and patient mortality outcomes. The dataset was last updated on May 11, 2026, by author Cheng Luo.

Use Cases

• Training mortality prediction models based on dynamic weight change rate.
• Analyzing non-linear relationships and threshold effects between physiological metrics and clinical outcomes.
• Comparing the prognostic value of dynamic monitoring versus static anthropometric measures.
• Feature selection and importance analysis for critical care variables.

Strengths

• Includes data from 30,537 adult patients, indicating a substantial sample size.
• Multicenter design using the U.S. eICU Collaborative Research Database suggests broad representation.
• Analysis identified specific threshold effects at approximately 5% weight change for mortality risk.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The dataset is a 350.3 KB DOCX file, which is a small document format; the underlying data tables may not be directly accessible.
