Medical Question Answering Dataset (QA Pairs MVD 10K)
Dataset Description
This dataset contains medical question-answering tasks based on Electronic Health Record (EHR) data. The dataset focuses on three main prediction tasks in clinical settings:
- Missing Medication MCQ: Predicting which medication should be added to a patient's current regimen
- Next Diagnosis MCQ: Predicting the most likely future diagnosis for a patient
- Next Measurement Value MCQ: Predicting future laboratory or vital sign values

Task Types
1. Missing Medication MCQ
Analyzes a patient's medical history including demographics, visits, measurements, procedures, and current medications to predict which medication should be added to their regimen.
2. Next Diagnosis MCQ
Predicts the most likely future diagnosis based on a patient's medical trajectory and history.
3. Next Measurement Value MCQ
Predicts future laboratory values or vital signs based on historical measurement trends.
Patient Data Structure
Each prompt includes structured patient data with:
- Demographics: Race, gender, year of birth
- Visit History: Outpatient visits, ER visits with dates
- Measurements: Height, weight, BMI, blood pressure, lab values with timestamps
- Procedures: Medical procedures performed with dates
- Medications: Current and past medications with start/end dates
- Diagnoses: Prior medical conditions with dates

Ethical Considerations
This dataset contains synthetic or anonymized medical data. Users should:
- Ensure compliance with healthcare data regulations (HIPAA, etc.)
- Use the dataset responsibly for research and educational purposes
- Not use for actual medical diagnosis without proper validation
- Consider potential biases in the synthetic data generation process
