Hypertension Treatment Adverse Effects in Ethiopia, 292 Patients

Koricho Simie Tolla published a dataset on figshare in March 2026. It contains raw data from a retrospective multicenter cohort study assessing calcium channel blocker-related peripheral edema among hypertensive patients in Ethiopia. The dataset includes 292 participants with sociodemographic and clinical data, collected between July and August 2025.

Use Cases

• Analyze incidence rates of peripheral edema based on patient demographics and medication dosage.
• Model time-to-event for adverse effect onset based on duration of drug use.
• Identify risk factors for edema based on clinical variables like daily standing duration.
• Compare adverse effect profiles between different doses of amlodipine.

Strengths

• Dataset includes 292 patient records with a mean age of 58.2 years.
• Specific clinical outcomes are reported, including a 38.7% incidence of peripheral edema.
• Time-to-event analysis was performed, providing a mean onset time of 8.3 weeks.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data is limited to a single month in 2025 and a specific geographic region (Ethiopia).
