2018 cohort of live births reported by the Hospital Manuel Uribe Ángel. The dataset includes 30 columns covering demographic, maternal, and birth outcome details. It is published by the Colombian open data portal, datos.gov.co.

Use Cases

• Analyze the relationship between maternal age (EDAD MADRE), number of prenatal visits (NÚMERO CONSULTAS PRENATALES), and birth weight (PESO) using regression models.
• Classify birth type (TIPO PARTO) based on features like gestational age (TIEMPO DE GESTACIÓN), maternal education (NIVEL EDUCATIVO DE LA MADRE), and pregnancy multiplicity (MULTIPLICIDAD EMBARAZO).
• Map birth locations and maternal residence patterns using geospatial coordinates (LATITUD, LONGITUD) and municipality fields (MUNICIPIO RESIDENCIA, DEPARTAMENTO RESIDENCIA).
• Investigate associations between health insurance regime (RÉGIMEN SEGURIDAD), ethnic group (PERTENENCIA ÉTNICA, GRUPO INDIGENA), and maternal healthcare metrics.
• Model infant characteristics like length (TALLA) and weight (PESO) from parental demographics including father's age (EDAD PADRE) and education level (NIVEL EDUCATIVO PADRE).

Strengths

• Dataset contains 30 detailed columns per birth record.
• Includes geospatial coordinates (LATITUD, LONGITUD) for location-based analysis.
• Covers multiple social determinants like education, ethnicity, and insurance.

Limitations

• Unknown total row count prevents assessment of statistical power.
• Temporal coverage is limited to a single starting year (2018 cohort), with no end date specified.
