Pulmonary Embolism Patient Management Adherence and Outcomes, 2019-2022

50 patients per year from 2019 to 2022 were sampled from electronic medical records to evaluate adherence to clinical guidelines before, during, and after the COVID-19 pandemic. The dataset, created by Juan José Rodríguez-Crespo and shared on figshare, reports a global non-adherence rate of 45.4% and its association with a composite clinical outcome. The primary outcome was a composite of in-hospital death, hemodynamic decompensation within 7 days, and in-hospital bleeding.

Use Cases

• Modeling risk factors for non-adherence to clinical guidelines based on mortality risk classification and PESI class mentioned in the description
• Analyzing the association between non-adherent management and a composite clinical outcome (death, decompensation, bleeding) during and outside the COVID-19 season
• Evaluating temporal trends in guideline adherence and hospital outcomes for pulmonary embolism patients across a four-year period

Strengths

• Data covers a balanced and randomized sample of 50 patients per year across four years (2019-2022).
• Analysis includes specific statistical results, such as an odds ratio of 3.47 for non-adherence linked to high-risk PE classification.
• The study design explicitly compares periods before, during, and after COVID-19-induced hospital strain.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is very small at 13.5 KB, indicating limited scope and number of variables.
