134 patient records from a retrospective single-center study conducted between 2006 and 2015. The dataset includes data on comorbidities, clinical presentation, microbiology, and outcomes for patients with Infective Endocarditis (IE). The study by A Marques identified specific risk factors and protective factors for in-hospital mortality.
Use Cases
- Predicting in-hospital mortality risk based on clinical features like heart failure or septic shock.
- Identifying protective factors for mortality based on treatment variables like cardiac surgery.
- Analyzing associations between specific microbiological etiologies (e.g., Staphylococcus aureus) and patient outcomes.
- Modeling the impact of diagnostic results (e.g., negative blood cultures, echocardiography findings) on mortality.
Strengths
- Includes 134 cases with a defined in-hospital mortality rate of 31.3%.
- Provides specific odds ratios for identified risk factors (e.g., Staphylococcus aureus OR 6.47, septic shock OR 20.26).
- Covers a 10-year period (2006-2015) with data on demographics, comorbidities, microbiology, and treatments.
Limitations
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Data may reflect temporal and single-center bias inherent to the original study.
