292 records of hypertensive patients taking calcium channel blockers (CCB) at two Ethiopian hospitals in 2025. The dataset includes socio-demographic characteristics and comorbidities, with a mean patient age of 58. It was authored by Koricho Simie Tolla and published on figshare in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze demographic risk factors for hypertension based on patient characteristics
• Study the prevalence of comorbidities among hypertensive patients based on the listed conditions

Strengths

• 292 patient records provide a specific cohort for analysis
• Mean age of 58 is a concrete demographic anchor
• Includes data from two distinct hospital sites (ATRH and Y12HMC)
• Published under an open CC-BY-4.0 license

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 the two Ethiopian hospitals
