Sensitivity Analyses for Nicotine Dependence and COVID-19 Mortality by Year

9.5 KB of sensitivity analyses examining the association between nicotine dependence and mortality among critically-ill COVID-19 patients. The dataset, authored by John Garza, was last updated on April 22, 2026, and is shared under a CC-BY-4.0 license on figshare. Its small size suggests it likely contains summary or analytical results rather than raw patient-level data.

Use Cases

• Assessing the robustness of nicotine dependence as a mortality risk factor based on the described sensitivity analyses.
• Examining temporal trends in the nicotine-mortality association based on the analysis by year.
• Informing clinical guidelines for critically-ill patients based on the described association findings.

Strengths

• Dataset is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0.
• Last updated date is explicitly provided (2026-04-22).

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The 9.5 KB file size indicates a very limited scope, likely containing only summary results.
