Danish Cohort Study on Takotsubo Syndrome Readmission and Socioeconomic Status, 2008-2018

1022 individuals with Takotsubo Syndrome were identified from Danish national registers between 2008 and 2018. The dataset supports a study comparing one-year readmission rates and socioeconomic factors against matched general population and myocardial infarction cohorts. The supplementary material was published on figshare by an admin for Karger under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Modeling readmission risk based on socioeconomic factors like income, education, and labor market attachment described in the study.
• Comparing patient outcomes between Takotsubo Syndrome, myocardial infarction, and the general population as outlined in the cohort design.
• Analyzing temporal patterns of hospital readmission, as most occurred within the first two months according to the results.

Strengths

• Nationwide cohort of 1022 Takotsubo Syndrome patients identified from Danish national registers.
• Includes matched comparator groups from the general population and myocardial infarction patients.
• Reports specific readmission rates (e.g., 36% for TS patients) and hazard ratios (e.g., 1.64 for lowest income).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count for the underlying data is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The dataset is small at 252.5 KB, indicating limited scope or summary-level data.
