icu.pneu {kmi} | R Documentation |
This data set is a random sample drawn from the SIR-3 study that aimed at analysing the effect of nosocomial infections on the length of ICU stay. Patients were included in the study if they had stayed at least 1 day in the unit. The sample includes information to assess the effect of nosocomial pneumonia on the length of stay. The endpoint is either discharge alive from the ICU or dead in the unit. These data are censoring complete as the censoring time is known for all patients.
