Anaesthesia duration

Anaesthesia duration (derived table).

Name in the dataset ane_duration
Type clinical
Stored in derived
Unit min

Time

This variable carries no time of its own in the dataset.

Value

Model kind derived: computed from other variables' posteriors
Resolution derived from anestart, aneend

Derived from

Computed from Anesthesia start time and Anesthesia end time. Formula: (aneend - anestart) / 60. Uncertainty: difference of the two event posteriors, sampled independently given the device references.

In this release

How wide the true-value distribution is, record by record, over 6,254 of 6,388 records (all clinical rows) that have one. Computed with the pinned model, aggregates only.

Median p10 to p90
Standard deviation 2.72 min 1.49 to 4.88 min
95% interval width 9.59 min 5.22 to 20.2 min
Mean minus recorded -3.87 min -6.56 to -2.3 min

Worked examples

Example Side Status Summary
A regression that carries rounding uncertainty through value draft Acute kidney injury after surgery against intraoperative urine output (mL/kg/h), fitted once on the recorded numbers and once per draw from the true-value distributions: the rounding moves 14% of cases across the oliguria threshold, but widens the confidence interval of the cohort's regression by at most 4%.
Oliguria labels for a prediction model value draft One label per patient, oliguric or not, from three rounded numbers: 10% of labels are uncertain and 2.6% are expected to be wrong, which sets a floor under the error any model can be measured to have. A typical model is barely affected; a good one is.
Urine output in mL/kg/h as a distribution value draft Intraoperative urine output per kilogram per hour, from three rounded inputs, as a probability distribution per case: one case in ten cannot be placed confidently on either side of 0.5 mL/kg/h.
