This file contains a description of the dataset for the 2024 ADLM FairLabs Competition
The dataset is a real, de-identified clinical dataset consisting all patient encounters on the labor and delivery unit of a single, academic, tertiary-care center over a span of approximately two years, from 2/23/2027 to 3/12/2029 (actual dates were shifted to protect patient privacy). The quality improvement project went live around 03/01/2028 in this shifted timescale.
All results for first urine drug screens (UDS) per labor and delivery encounter are provided. At this center, peripartum UDS testing is performed using a mass-spectrometry based laboratory developed test. Additional features include the patient's self-reported race and whether or not a phone call was placed to Child Protective Services. A complete descipription of all columns in the data can be found below.
The data are all contained in a single file with comma separated values - 'fairlabs_data.csv'. The data are in a wide format where each row represents a single labor and delivery encounter and each column represents a feature associated with that encounter.
The use of these de-identified data for this competition has been reviewed and deemed as non-human research by the Human Research Protections Office at Washington University in St. Louis (IRB ID #202312060).
