These two synthetic datasets comprise vital signs, laboratory test results, administered fluid boluses and vasopressors for 3,910 patients with acute hypotension and for 2,164 patients with sepsis in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). The patient cohorts were built using previously published inclusion and exclusion criteria and the data were created using Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) and the MIMIC-III Clinical Database. The risk of identity disclosure associated with the release of these data was estimated to be very low (0.045%). The datasets were generated and published as part of the Health Gym, a project aiming to publicly distribute synthetic longitudinal health data for developing machine learning algorithms (with a particular focus on offline reinforcement learning) and for educational purposes.
