Unitdischargestatus vs hospitaldischargestatus

[Olivier998]

Hi, I was wondering about the unitdischargestatus and the hospitaldischarge status from the patient Table. Some patients have unitdischargestatus = 'Expired', but then have hospitaldischargestatus='Alive'.

For exemple, for patientunitstayid = '2584595', the patient has unitdischargeoffset = 2462 and unitdischargestatus='Expired', but also a hospitaldischargeoffset=2465 and hospitaldischargestatus='Alive'

So my question is, what happened to these patients? To get the mortality status of patients, do I need to consider these two variables? Thanks!
