Paediatric Burn Injuries: 30,000 Simulated Records from Sub-Saharan Africa

30,000 simulated paediatric burn records model patient presentations in sub-Saharan Africa. The dataset, created by electricsheepafrica and last updated in 2026, contains over 40 variables per record, including injury mechanism, treatment, and outcomes. It is structured across three distinct clinical settings.

Use Cases

• Predicting patient complications like infection or sepsis based on injury characteristics and treatment variables.
• Analyzing patterns in surgical intervention rates across different simulated clinical settings.
• Modeling the relationship between first aid measures and subsequent burn wound management.
• Studying the distribution of burn mechanisms (scald, flame, electrical) and affected body regions in a paediatric population.

Strengths

• Contains 30,000 simulated patient records, providing a substantial volume for analysis.
• Includes over 40 variables per record, covering injury details, treatment, and outcomes.
• Models three distinct clinical settings, allowing for comparative scenario analysis.

Limitations

• Data is simulated, not real-world clinical data, which may limit generalizability.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count for individual scenarios is known, but overall file size and formats are unspecified.
