Cardiovascular Disease Cases and Treatment in Twelve African Countries, 2014-2019

Twelve African countries are covered in this dataset describing characteristics of a study population, cardiovascular disease (CVD) cases, and treatment uptake between 2014 and 2019. It was authored by Wingston Felix Ng’ambi and last updated in March 2026. The data is presented with weighted percentages and odds ratios, likely derived from a regression model.

Use Cases

• Analyzing CVD risk factor prevalence based on population characteristics mentioned in the description
• Modeling treatment uptake disparities based on demographic or clinical categories
• Comparing CVD case rates across different countries and time periods
• Investigating associations between high salt intake and CVD outcomes as suggested by platform tags

Strengths

• Data spans twelve African countries, providing a multi-national perspective
• Covers a five-year time range from 2014 to 2019
• Includes analysis of treatment uptake, a key public health metric
• Uses weighted statistical methods (percentages, odds ratios) as indicated by platform tags

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 or summary-level data
