Antimicrobial Resistance Microbiological Dataset (ARMD-UTSW): A deidentified collection of electronic health records, from a quaternary, academic medical center, for antimicrobial resistance research
(2025-09-26) Cooper, Lauren N.; Medford, Richard J.; Hanna, John J.
Antibiotic resistance is a global public health emergency, but quality, real world, EHR based data sets that can be utilized for antibiotic resistance research are limited.  We have developed the Antibiotic Resistance Microbiology Dataset: UTSW (ARMD: UTSW) which includes microbiological culture testing and susceptibility results for 237,258 patients at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center (UTSW) from 2005-2025.  Longitudinal demographics, prior medical histories, medications, procedures, and clinical specific information such as testing locations and recent laboratory values are also incorporated into the deidentified data set.  With the standardization of data values and careful deidentification of the ARMD: UTSW data set, researchers globally will be able to improve patient outcomes, increase awareness, and add to the collective knowledge regarding antibiotic resistance.
