COVID-19 Patient Mortality and Expenditure Analysis by Ventilation Use

A tabular dataset compares 180-day post-discharge mortality and total medical expenditures for hospitalized COVID-19 patients based on mechanical ventilation or ECMO use. The dataset is provided by author Jun Kawabata and was last updated in March 2026. It is stored in a 5.5 KB XLS file.

Use Cases

• Compare 180-day post-discharge mortality rates between patient cohorts defined by MV/ECMO use.
• Analyze total medical expenditure distributions for COVID-19 patients segmented by ventilation treatment.
• Investigate potential correlations between mortality outcomes and medical expenditures for hospitalized COVID-19 cases.

Strengths

• Focuses on a specific, clinically relevant comparison for COVID-19 patients: MV/ECMO use.
• Explicitly measures two key healthcare outcomes: 180-day mortality and total medical expenditures.
• Data is shared under a permissive CC BY 4.0 license, facilitating reuse.

Limitations

• The dataset is very small at 5.5 KB, indicating a limited sample size or scope.
• Column names and row count are unknown, limiting assessment of structure and granularity.
• Geographic origin and specific time range of the patient data are not provided.
