Abstract: | Since many years, medical researchers have investigated the mechanisms that may cause a septic shock. Despite many approaches that analyzed smaller parts of the relevant data or single variables, respectively, no larger database with all the possible relevant data existed. Our work was to bridge this gap. We built a large database for abdominal septic shock patients. While building it, we were confronted with many problems concerning the database realization and the data quality. Thus, we will demonstrate how we built our database and how we assured data quality. This is of interest for all medical or computer scientists who are concerned with building medical databases with retrospective data, e.g. for data mining purposes. |
