Congenital diaphragmatic hernia: clinical and hospital aspects in a maternal and child ref

From 2008 to 2018, this dataset profiles 14 newborns diagnosed with Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH) at a maternal and child reference hospital in the Amazon region. It was created by Lorenna Costa Malaquias from medical records, analyzing variables like gender, hernia type, surgical procedures, and outcomes. The study includes details on invasive mechanical ventilation duration, hospital stay, and mortality rates.

Use Cases

• Analyze mortality and discharge outcomes based on patient gender and hernia laterality mentioned in the description
• Model the duration of invasive mechanical ventilation based on associated malformations and patient demographics
• Study surgical intervention rates and access routes (thoracotomy vs. subcostal laparotomy) for CDH repair

Strengths

• Data covers an 11-year period (2008-2018) from a reference hospital.
• Includes detailed clinical metrics such as 9.21 ± 5.55 days of invasive mechanical ventilation and a total hospital stay of 19.42 ± 15.36 days.
• Provides specific outcome figures, including a 57.14% improved discharge rate and a 42.86% mortality rate.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to a single hospital in the Amazon region.
