<p>Data.</p>

Survey data from 1,106 adult patients admitted to specialized hospitals in Western Ethiopia between December 2023 and April 2024. The dataset likely contains patient nutritional status assessed via Subjective Global Assessment (SGA) and associated demographic and clinical factors. It was collected by Birtukan Kebede Moti using Kobo Toolbox and analyzed with Stata version 17.

Use Cases

• Predicting malnutrition risk based on patient demographic factors like age and education.
• Analyzing the association between comorbidities at admission and nutritional status.
• Modeling the impact of dietary diversity on malnutrition severity in hospitalized adults.

Strengths

• Dataset includes 1,106 patient records, providing a substantial sample size.
• Data collection period is clearly defined as December 16, 2023 to April 16, 2024.
• Nutritional status was assessed using the standardized Subjective Global Assessment (SGA) tool.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data is limited to a specific region (Western Ethiopia) and time period, which may affect generalizability.
