Coronary Artery Fistula Patterns and Clinical Correlations in Pediatric Patients

A study of 7,183 medical records from children under five years old with cardiac disease, submitted to color Doppler echocardiography. The research identified 26 cases of coronary artery fistula and correlated pathway patterns with clinical symptoms and associated congenital heart disease. The dataset was created by Daniel Leonardo Cobo and uses Spearman's Correlation test with a 5% significance level.

Use Cases

• Classifying coronary artery fistula pathway patterns based on echocardiographic data mentioned in the description
• Correlating specific fistula origins (e.g., RCA, LCA, AIVB) with clinical symptoms like dyspnea or cyanosis
• Investigating associations between coronary artery fistula and specific congenital heart diseases such as interventricular or interatrial communication
• Modeling three-dimensional fistula pathways for anatomical visualization and education

Strengths

• Analysis is based on 7,183 medical records, providing a substantial clinical cohort
• Identifies 26 specific cases of coronary artery fistula with detailed pathway percentages (e.g., RCA to RV 26.92%)
• Reports statistically significant correlations (p=0.445 for symptoms, p=0.295 for associated cardiopathy) between fistula presence and clinical features

Limitations

• Row count for the primary fistula dataset is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified
