A retrospective cohort study from the Baltic region compares demographic and clinical characteristics of peptic ulcer disease hospitalizations across seasons. The dataset, created by Abdulrahman Al-Dawoudi, is a 5.5 KB XLS file containing data analyzed using multivariable logistic regression to assess seasonal patterns and independent predictors.

Use Cases

• Model seasonal predictors of hospitalization based on demographic and clinical characteristics mentioned in the description
• Compare peptic ulcer disease outcomes across different seasons in the Baltic region
• Assess the association between climatic variation and hospitalization rates for peptic ulcer disease

Strengths
