Data Sheet 1_A virtual reality-based multicomponent intervention program for preventing po

A pilot randomized controlled trial of 40 patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery in a tertiary hospital in China, conducted from February to March 2025. The study evaluated a perioperative virtual reality-based intervention program against usual care. Outcomes measured include delirium incidence, severity, duration, stress, cognition, sleep, and mobility.

Use Cases

• Analyze the feasibility and preliminary effects of VR interventions based on clinical trial outcomes.
• Compare changes in psychological metrics like anxiety and depression based on repeated-measures analyses mentioned in the description.
• Investigate associations between non-pharmacological interventions and functional recovery based on Barthel Index scores and ICU length of stay.
• Study perioperative stress and sleep patterns in ICU patients based on measurements taken at multiple time points.

Strengths

• Data originates from a randomized controlled trial design with 40 participants (20 per group).
• Includes multiple clinical outcome measures: delirium incidence, severity, duration, stress, cognition, sleep, and mobility.
• Results show specific statistical findings, such as a 5% vs. 35% delirium incidence between groups (p=0.048).

Limitations

• The dataset is a 4.9 MB DOCX file; the underlying data structure and column-level documentation are absent.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for quantitative analysis.
• The study was a pilot trial not powered to detect differences in primary outcomes, and findings are described as hypothesis-generating.
