Hospitalization Diagnoses by Quarter and Year

Diagnosis information for hospitalizations organized by quarterly periods. The dataset includes a total count per diagnosis and breakdowns for each quarter of a given year. It originates from the Colombian open data portal, datos.gov.co, and was last updated in May 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze seasonal variation in diagnosis frequency using the 1er Trimestre, 2do Trimestre, 3er Trimestre, and 4to Trimestre columns.
• Rank the most common causes for hospitalization by sorting the Total column for each Nombre diagnóstico.
• Map clinical diagnoses to standardized codes by joining on the Código diagnóstico and Nombre diagnóstico fields.
• Track annual trends for specific conditions by filtering the Año diagnóstico column and aggregating quarterly totals.

Strengths

• Data is structured with a clear temporal dimension across quarters and years.
• Includes both a diagnosis name (Nombre diagnóstico) and a likely standardized code (Código diagnóstico).
• Provides aggregated totals (Total) alongside quarterly breakdowns for analysis.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
