Description

To extract GCS for patients who admitted to ICU, we can use mimic_icu.chartevents.
I am wondering if there is any way to extract GCS for patients who did not admit to ICU, such as patients who visited ED but not admitted to hospital?
Is this simply because recording GCS is not one of procedures done in ED?

Thanks.

The informatics system is different between ED and ICU. Therefore GCS information wouldn't be extracted in the same way. I would suggest searching the ED tables if you would like to investigate them further.
