Swiss Hospitalizations for Presumed Cardiac Sarcoidosis, 2010-2021

Swiss nationwide hospitalization data from 2010 to 2021 for patients with presumed cardiac sarcoidosis. The supplementary material for a research article includes data on 5,636 sarcoidosis patients, of whom 813 (14%) met criteria for cardiac involvement. The dataset was published on figshare in 2026 under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Analyzing temporal trends in hospitalizations for cardiac sarcoidosis based on the 2010-2021 time range
• Modeling predictors of in-hospital mortality based on features like acute organ dysfunction
• Investigating factors associated with rehospitalization based on features like heart failure and atrial fibrillation
• Studying comorbidity burden patterns in cardiac versus non-cardiac sarcoidosis hospitalizations

Strengths

• Nationwide coverage of Swiss hospitalizations from 2010 to 2021
• Includes 5,636 sarcoidosis patient records with 813 cases of presumed cardiac involvement
• Provides matched control group for comparative analysis

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Data is presumed from ICD-10-GM codes; clinical validation of diagnoses is not confirmed
