Paediatric Snakebite Patient Survival Data from Northeastern Nigeria

678 paediatric patient records form the basis for a survival analysis study on snakebite mortality predictors. Aashna Uppal from the University of Oxford created this subset from a larger cohort of 723 patients. The data likely contains clinical variables used to analyze in-hospital mortality risk factors.

Use Cases

• Predicting in-hospital mortality risk based on clinical and demographic patient features.
• Conducting survival analysis to identify key predictors of mortality following snakebite.
• Training models for clinical decision support in resource-limited healthcare settings.
• Studying the epidemiology of paediatric snakebite outcomes in a specific geographic region.

Strengths

• Data is derived from a specific study cohort of 723 paediatric patients.
• The subset of 678 records was curated for a peer-reviewed survival analysis study.
• Focus on a clinically significant and understudied topic in a defined geographic region.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count for the full dataset is known, but the exact size of this subset's features is unknown.
• Data may reflect geographic and temporal bias inherent to the original single-center study.
