Preoperative creatinine

Preoperative creatinine (clinical table).

Name in the dataset preop_cr
Type clinical
Stored in clinical_data.csv
Unit mg/dL

Description

Pre-operative copy of a lab result; behaves like the lab data.

Measurement space

-0.00500.005true minus recorded (mg/dL)density

A vertical slice through the measurement space: how the true value is spread around any one recorded value. Its shape is uniform.

Time

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

Value

Model kind uniform: single resolution; uniform over the rounding interval
Resolution 0.01 mg/dL, nearest
Native step 0.01 mg/dL
Anchor nearest (convention)

In this release

How wide the true-value distribution is, record by record, over 6,016 of 6,388 records (all clinical rows) that have one. Computed with the pinned model, aggregates only.

Median p10 to p90
Standard deviation 0.00289 mg/dL 0.00289 to 0.00289 mg/dL
95% interval width 0.0095 mg/dL 0.0095 to 0.0095 mg/dL
Mean minus recorded 0 mg/dL 0 to 0 mg/dL

Anchor

Laboratory results rounded to the last reported digit; at most half the last digit. See what an anchor is and every variable's anchor.

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%.
