Hypochloremia Prevalence and Outcomes in Acute Heart Failure Patients

260 patient records from a retrospective observational cohort study of hospitalized acute heart failure patients. The dataset likely contains clinical variables used to analyze the prevalence of hypochloremia and its association with hospital stay length and mortality. It was created by Belay Mengistu Gebrie and last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Predicting length of hospital stay based on electrolyte status and comorbidities.
• Analyzing risk factors for hypochloremia based on NYHA class, COPD history, and other electrolyte disturbances.
• Modeling in-hospital mortality risk using admission serum chloride levels and patient characteristics.
• Investigating associations between multiple electrolyte imbalances (hypochloremia, hyponatremia, hypokalemia) in acute heart failure.

Strengths

• Includes 260 patient records, providing a specific sample size.
• Contains results from multivariate logistic regression analysis identifying independent predictors.
• File format is SAV, indicating compatibility with SPSS and structured statistical software.

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 or temporal bias inherent to the single-source study.
