Thyroid Surgery Preoperative Preparation Trial Data, 100 Patients

100 patients undergoing elective thyroid surgery from January 2024 to June 2024 were randomized into control and experimental groups. The data compares outcomes like preparation time, item omission, and satisfaction between traditional preparation methods and modular surgical kits. The dataset, authored by Ping-ping Chen and shared under a CC-BY-4.0 license, contains results from a randomized controlled study.

Use Cases

• Compare preoperative preparation times between traditional and modular kit methods based on the primary outcome metric.
• Analyze nurse and surgeon satisfaction scores aggregated from survey data mentioned in the description.
• Model the relationship between kit use and the rate of intraoperative supplemental item requests.
• Assess the impact of modular kits on operating room turnover time reduction.
• Evaluate consumable waste by comparing postoperative return rates of unused items.

Strengths

• Dataset includes results from a randomized controlled trial with 100 patients.
• Measures multiple specific outcomes including preparation time, satisfaction scores, and waste rates with reported statistical metrics.
• Sample size was determined a priori based on the primary outcome.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The study authors note design limitations including potential contamination and lack of blinding for some outcomes.
