Liver Biopsy Complications and Mortality Data from Six Palestinian Hospitals, 2020-2025

Palestine data from a retrospective multicenter study of 218 patients undergoing liver biopsies between January 2020 and December 2025. The dataset, authored by Nadieh Abdallah, includes demographic, clinical, laboratory, procedural, and outcome variables to assess complications and mortality in a resource-limited healthcare system.

Use Cases

• Predicting post-procedure infection risk based on pre-operative white blood cell count.
• Modeling mortality risk associated with patient age following liver biopsy.
• Analyzing associations between biopsy type (percutaneous vs. laparoscopic) and complication rates.
• Identifying clinical factors for multivariate logistic regression models of surgical outcomes.

Strengths

• Includes data from 218 patient records across six major hospitals.
• Provides specific complication rates, such as infection (3.2%) and hemorrhage (2.8%).
• Contains results from multivariate logistic regression identifying independent predictors (e.g., OR for age and mortality).

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data may reflect geographic and temporal bias inherent to the study's scope in Palestine from 2020-2025.
