• Analyze hair width changes based on patient demographics and AGA severity
• Investigate the relationship between adverse effects and combination regimens
• Model treatment efficacy based on patient age and gender

Strengths

• Includes 55 patient records with a mean age of 49 and 65.5% female representation
• Compares outcomes across five specific treatments: PRP, LDOM, spironolactone, finasteride, and dutasteride
• Data spans a defined time range from November 2017 to August 2025

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• The dataset size is 821.8 KB, indicating a limited scope
