Supplementary File 1: Paired SBS and RASS Scores for Mechanically Ventilated Children

13,736 paired observations of State Behavioral Scale (SBS) and Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scale (RASS) scores were collected from 1,025 mechanically ventilated children in a tertiary PICU between May 2024 and October 2025. Author Dan Li published this retrospective study on figshare under a CC-BY-4.0 license to evaluate the scales' clinical agreement. A nurse survey found 64.7% considered RASS more convenient and faster to use.

Use Cases

• Validate the clinical agreement between sedation scales based on paired SBS and RASS scores.
• Analyze nurse-reported usability metrics for sedation assessment tools.
• Model sedation levels in pediatric ICU patients based on repeated observational data.
• Train machine learning models to predict sedation states from standardized scale scores.

Strengths

• Contains 13,736 paired observations from 1,025 patients, providing a substantial sample for analysis.
• Includes results from a nurse survey with specific percentages (64.7%, 54.9%) on tool usability.
• Data collection covers a defined time range (May 2024 to October 2025) from a single tertiary PICU.

Limitations

• Row and column counts are unknown, limiting precise assessment of dataset scale and structure.
• The dataset is stored as a DOCX file (249.5 KB), which suggests it may be a document summary rather than raw structured data.
• Data reflects a single-center study, which may limit generalizability to other pediatric ICU populations.
