Description

Hello my questions is based on MIMIC-IV, version 2.2:

Currently I'm trying on early detection of sepsis using data from MIMIC-IV. However I met some problem when calculating the time interval between admit_time and sofa_time(which is considered to be the onset time of sepsis). I found that sofa_time for some patient ( about 28 in total) are earlier than admit_time and I'm wondering why would this happend.

Thank you for your time and help.
