Data Sheet 1_Association and attributable hospital costs of chronic pain with relevant ger

A study dataset of 43,368 inpatient records from Sichuan Province, China, covering 2021 to 2022. It examines the association between chronic pain and geriatric-sensitive diseases like depression and functional limitation, and calculates attributable hospital costs. The dataset was created by Ting Chen and shared under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Modeling the association between chronic pain and depression based on ICD-10 diagnostic codes.
• Estimating attributable hospital costs and length of stay for patients with functional limitations.
• Analyzing the economic impact of multi-area pain compared to single-area pain.
• Investigating the relationship between chronic pain and out-of-pocket healthcare costs for older adults.

Strengths

• Contains 38,372 records for depression analysis and 4,996 records for functional limitation analysis.
• Provides specific odds ratios (e.g., 1.24 for depression) and cost increase percentages (e.g., 68.2% higher total costs).
• Uses propensity score matching and multivariable linear regression for analysis, as described in the methodology.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown for the full combined dataset, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to the Sichuan Province inpatient discharge dataset.
