Post-Anesthesia Critical Event Frequencies at DCSH Ethiopia 2024

Abebaw Misganaw's dataset records the frequency of critical events for surgical patients at DCSH, Ethiopia, from June to September 2024. It includes variables such as type of surgery, coexisting diseases, intraoperative complications, and patient handover in the PACU. The dataset is a 5.5 KB XLS file licensed under CC BY 4.0.

Use Cases

• Perform multivariable logistic regression to model the association between ASA physical status and the occurrence of common critical events.
• Analyze the frequency of critical events by type of surgery and coexisting diseases to identify high-risk procedures.
• Investigate the relationship between proper patient handover in the PACU and outcomes like residual anesthetic effects.
• Conduct bivariable analysis to assess if critical events are higher among underweight patients.

Strengths

• Data is recent, covering a specific four-month period from June to September 2024.
• The dataset includes clinically relevant variables for perioperative analysis, such as ASA physical status and intraoperative complications.
• It is shared under a permissive CC BY 4.0 license, facilitating open reuse.

Limitations

• The dataset is very small at 5.5 KB, indicating a limited number of observations or variables.
• Geographic scope is restricted to a single hospital (DCSH) in Ethiopia, limiting generalizability.
• The exact row count and column structure are unknown, complicating assessment of its analytical scope.
