Chest Tube Placement and Pain Outcomes After Uniportal VATS Lobectomy, 2021-2023

1,082 patient records from a retrospective cohort study at a Beijing medical center from June 2021 to June 2023. The data examines the association between a modified chest tube placement technique and acute postoperative pain following uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) lobectomy. The dataset was authored by Kang Qi and shared under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Modeling the association between surgical technique and postoperative pain based on exposure and outcome variables.
• Applying propensity score weighting methods for causal inference based on the described overlap weighting approach.
• Conducting sensitivity analyses for clinical outcomes based on the pragmatic care-adjusted method mentioned.
• Comparing rates of moderate-to-severe pain between intervention groups based on the reported outcome percentages.

Strengths

• Includes 1,082 patient records meeting specific inclusion criteria from a screened population of 1,701.
• Covers a defined time range from June 2021 to June 2023 at a single tertiary medical center.
• Study design employs advanced statistical methods like propensity score overlap weighting and weighted logistic regression.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count for the actual downloadable data file is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data reflects geographic and institutional bias from a single center in Beijing, China.
