<p>SPSS raw data supporting the study.</p>

A hospital-based cross-sectional study of 371 adult patients at Hiwot Fana Comprehensive Specialized Hospital in eastern Ethiopia from January to April 2024. The dataset contains SPSS raw data supporting research on the prevalence, antimicrobial susceptibility patterns, and associated factors of bacterial lower respiratory tract infections among Gene Xpert-negative presumptive tuberculosis patients. The study was authored by Negesso Gebre and published under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Analyze prevalence of bacterial pathogens based on sputum culture results mentioned in the description
• Investigate antimicrobial resistance patterns based on Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion test results
• Model risk factors for infection based on socio-demographic and health-related variables collected via questionnaire
• Study the overlap between tuberculosis and bacterial pneumonia presentations in a clinical setting

Strengths

• Data covers 371 study participants, providing a defined sample size
• Includes results for 34.0% prevalence of pathogenic bacterial infection
• Contains confirmed antimicrobial susceptibility test results and methicillin-resistance S. aureus (MRSA) proportion of 16.7%
• Specific time range (January 01 to April 30, 2024) and geographic location (eastern Ethiopia) are documented

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 a single hospital in eastern Ethiopia
