The first release of the PhysioBank
Index contains essential information about all of the more than 36,000
records that can be viewed using the PhysioBank ATM. A web-based tool for
searching the index is under development. Users who are comfortable using
standard command-line tools can use them now, to search the index for records
with desired characteristics. Our new tutorial provides guidance and examples.

The MIMIC II Waveform Database
Matched Subset is now available. It contains 4,897 waveform records and
5,266 numerics records from the MIMIC II Waveform Database, which
have been matched and time-aligned with 2,809 MIMIC II Clinical
Database records.

The MGH/MF Waveform
Database Patient Guide is now available. It provides additional
information for each recording in the database, including (as available) age,
sex, diagnoses, pertinent medical history, ECG interpretation, ventilation, a
timeline of events that occurred during the recording, and additional clinical
observations.

Version 3 of the MIMIC II Waveform
Database has been publicly released. Version 3 contains 21,422 patient
records and is more than 4 times the size of version 2. Using enhanced data
recovery techniques, the original raw data dumps have been reprocessed to
extract many records that were previously unreadable, and additional raw data
dumps collected since the previous release were also processed to obtain
many more records.
Also available to qualified investigators via PhysioNetWorks is version 2.6 of
the companion
MIMIC II Clinical Database,
containing data for 32,536 subjects (5880 new since version 2.5) and additional
data types (including demographics, procedure (CPT) codes, diagnosis-related
groups (DRG codes), Elixhauser comorbidity scores, microbiology test results,
and LOINC coding for lab tests).
