MIMIC-Note-Extract: A Large-Scale Structured Dataset Extracted from MIMIC-IV-Note Discharge Summaries

MIMIC is one of the most widely used public hospital datasets for machine learning on electronic health records, yet clinically important information, such as past medical history, allergies, and diagnostic findings, remains confined to free-text discharge summaries. Studies requiring this information must therefore build their own extraction pipelines, duplicating substantial effort across projects. We release MIMIC-Note-Extract (MNE), a large-scale dataset that uses a hybrid extraction pipeline combining deterministic parsing with schema-guided large language model generation to transform 16 sections from 300,720 discharge summaries into structured tables. MNE adds information that has no structured MIMIC counterpart and enriches related tables with broader coverage and greater clinical detail, including 10 times more patient-history entries and medication histories for more than twice as many admissions. Validation by medical doctors confirms extraction accuracy above 92% across sections. Using MNE, we construct a clinical decision-making benchmark for LLM agents, demonstrating how reusable structured representations of clinical narratives reduce data curation effort.

Abstract

MIMIC is one of the most widely used public hospital datasets for machine learning on electronic health records, yet clinically important information, such as past medical history, allergies, and diagnostic findings, remains confined to free-text discharge summaries. Studies requiring this information must therefore build their own extraction pipelines, duplicating substantial effort across projects. We release MIMIC-Note-Extract (MNE), a large-scale dataset that uses a hybrid extraction pipeline combining deterministic parsing with schema-guided large language model generation to transform 16 sections from 300,720 discharge summaries into structured tables. MNE adds information that has no structured MIMIC counterpart and enriches related tables with broader coverage and greater clinical detail, including 10 times more patient-history entries and medication histories for more than twice as many admissions. Validation by medical doctors confirms extraction accuracy above 92% across sections. Using MNE, we construct a clinical decision-making benchmark for LLM agents, demonstrating how reusable structured representations of clinical narratives reduce data curation effort.
