由于临床实验室的工作人员不经常参与病人的管理，他们很难进行旨在探索实验室测试临床用途的研究。使用可公开访问的临床数据库进行临床研究是进行研究的另一种方式，该研究调查实验室测试的临床方面。在这里，我们介绍了一个免费访问的重症监护数据库，名为重症监护多参数智能监护II(MIMIC-II)。该数据库包含许多实验室测试的结果，因此可用于进行实验室医学研究。指出了访问该数据库的步骤，并介绍了该数据库的结构。分享了使用该数据库的一些技巧。
As staffs in clinical laboratories are not routinely involved in the management of patients, it is difficult for them to perform researches designed to explore the clinical utility of laboratory tests. Using publicly accessible clinical databases for clinical research represents an alternative way of performing studies investigating the clinical aspects of laboratory tests. Here, we introduced a freely accessible critical care database named Multiparameter Intelligent Monitoring in Intensive Care II (MIMIC-II). This database contains the results of many laboratory tests and thus can be used to perform laboratory medicine research. The steps to access this database were indicated, and the structure of this database was introduced. Some tips in using this database were shared.
