Does Limited English Proficiency Affect Time-to-Death for Critically Ill Patients Who Expire in the Hospital? (Team 4)

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Thiago presents findings from a 24-hour Datathon project addressing the impact of limited English proficiency (LEP) on healthcare outcomes, particularly in an ICU context. The hypothesis suggested that LEP patients might experience delays in care discussions, potentially affecting time-to-death outcomes. Using the MIMIC-3 database, the team found no significant differences in survival probability or procedure utilization based on language proficiency. However, they observed more frequent and later end-of-life discussions among female LEP patients. Thiago highlights the need for further research with larger datasets and more advanced analysis techniques. Future steps include expanding data size and refining analyses.
