Baseline Characteristics of 30 Participants in an Ultrasound Jugular Venous Pressure Study

Karin Vogt published this dataset on figshare in April 2026. It contains baseline characteristics for a cross-sectional study of 30 healthy volunteers comparing four ultrasound methods for measuring jugular venous pressure. The data supports the study's conclusions on method reproducibility and feasibility.

Use Cases

• Comparing the reproducibility of four different ultrasound measurement methods for jugular venous pressure.
• Analyzing the feasibility of transverse versus longitudinal ultrasound views for clinical assessment.
• Benchmarking measured uJVP values against a previously described standard mean of 6.5 ± 1.5 cmH₂O.
• Investigating the relationship between participant characteristics and ultrasound measurement outcomes.

Strengths

• Dataset is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0.
• Study includes 30 participants with a balanced gender distribution (50% females).
• Provides specific median uJVP values and interquartile ranges for four distinct measurement methods.

Limitations

• Row count and column-level documentation are unknown, limiting suitability assessment.
• The dataset is very small at 9.5 KB, indicating a limited scope focused on baseline characteristics.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality and field semantics require manual inspection after download.
