SF-36 Scores for Orbital Exenteration Survivors in South India

35 survivors of orbital exenteration for COVID-19-associated mucormycosis completed SF-36 questionnaires. The study compares their Physical and Mental Component Summary scores to Indian normative values and analyzes associations with demographic and clinical factors. The dataset was published by Ashel Chelsea Dsouza on figshare in May 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze mental health impairment based on significantly lower Mental Component Summary scores.
• Compare social functioning deficits based on the reported -38.28 point deficit versus norms.
• Associate physical health outcomes with demographic factors based on the reported link between male sex and higher Physical Component Summary scores.
• Evaluate the impact of COVID-19 vaccination on mental health based on the reported association with higher Mental Component Summary scores.

Strengths

• Includes 35 patient records with a mean age of 47.0 ± 13.5 years.
• Provides SF-36 domain and component scores compared to Indian normative values.
• Contains results from multivariable linear regression assessing associations with demographic and clinical factors.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
