Danish Myocardial Infarction Patient Outcomes by CRP Levels, 2013-2020

Danish nationwide registries provided data for 29,035 patients with a first diagnosis of myocardial infarction from 2013 through 2020. The dataset, authored by figshare admin karger, examines the association between C-reactive protein levels measured within 24 hours of hospitalization and the risk of death or heart failure up to one year later.

Use Cases

• Assessing the prognostic value of C-reactive protein for mortality risk based on CRP quartile data
• Modeling the relationship between biomarker levels and incident heart failure based on the described secondary outcome
• Analyzing standardized absolute and relative risks of death over short-term (0-30 days) and long-term (31-365 days) periods
• Studying patient outcomes following myocardial infarction using nationwide registry data

Strengths

• Includes 29,035 patient records from a nationwide registry
• Analysis is adjusted for demographics, clinical features, and high-sensitivity troponin concentrations
• Provides specific CRP quartile intervals (e.g., quartile 1: <2.9 mg/l, quartile 4: >=12 mg/l) and associated mortality risks

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count for the underlying dataset is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• The 110.9 KB file size suggests the provided material is likely supplementary documentation, not the primary patient-level data
