Antibiotic Resistance Microbiology Dataset (ARMD)

Abstract

The Antibiotic Resistance Microbiology Dataset (ARMD) is a structured and de-identified resource developed using electronic health records (EHR) from Stanford Healthcare. It provides a comprehensive overview of microbiological cultures including urine, respiratory, and blood cultures. This dataset includes 283,715 unique adult patients and features detailed information on culture results, identified organisms, antibiotic susceptibility, and associated demographic and clinical data. The dataset was meticulously constructed through a multi-step process designed to enhance data quality and relevance. By enabling the study of antimicrobial resistance patterns and supporting antimicrobial stewardship efforts, ARMD offers a valuable resource for researchers and clinicians seeking to improve the management of infectious diseases and combat the growing threat of antimicrobial resistance.
