Extensive Burn Patient Records from Eastern China, 2010-2021

From 2010 to 2021, this dataset contains records for 259 patients with extensive burns admitted to a burn center in eastern China. It includes epidemiological and clinical characteristics, such as burn cause, severity, and outcomes, collected by Jingzhu Li for a retrospective study evaluating the impact of an autonomous medical team implemented in 2016.

Use Cases

• Analyze trends in burn causes and patient demographics based on the described epidemiological characteristics.
• Evaluate the impact of an autonomous medical team on surgical procedures and mortality rates based on the pre- and post-2016 comparison.
• Model length of hospital stay and associated costs based on the reported median stay of 44 days and cost analysis.
• Study seasonal and anatomical patterns of burn injuries based on the mention of summer prevalence and limb involvement.

Strengths

• 259 patient records spanning 12 years (2010-2021), allowing for longitudinal analysis.
• Includes specific clinical metrics: median total body surface area (TBSA) of 50%, median hospital stay of 44 days, and an overall mortality rate of 7.34%.
• Clear temporal split (2010-2015 vs. 2016-2021) for comparative analysis of a policy intervention.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to a single center in eastern China.
