Acute Limb Arterial Occlusion Patient Records from a University Hospital

Medical records from 105 patients treated for acute arterial occlusions in limbs at a university hospital. The data includes patient demographics, etiology, symptoms, comorbidities, Rutherford categories, treatment details, and 30-day outcomes for limb salvage and mortality. The dataset was created by Caroline Teodoro as part of a retrospective cohort study.

Use Cases

• Predicting 30-day major amputation risk based on Rutherford category and comorbidities like hypertension and diabetes.
• Analyzing the association between occlusion etiology (thrombotic vs. embolic) and rates of arterial reocclusion.
• Modeling patient survival outcomes using features such as age, presenting symptoms, and the performed treatment (e.g., thromboembolectomy).

Strengths

• Contains detailed clinical data for 105 patients, including specific percentages for symptoms, comorbidities, and treatment methods.
• Reports concrete 30-day outcome metrics: 14.6% total mortality and 19.8% major amputation rate.
• Includes statistical significance (p-values) for findings like amputation frequency among Rutherford Class I patients.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
