Adverse Events in Supervised Pediatric Oncology Exercise Sessions, 74,083 Sessions

A prospective observational study recorded 178 adverse events across 74,083 supervised exercise sessions for pediatric oncology patients at six centers over three years. The data includes event grades, types, triggers, and resulted in 11 prevention recommendations. The dataset was authored by Gabriele Gauß and is available under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Assessing the incidence and severity of exercise-related adverse events based on the reported 178 events.
• Analyzing common triggers for adverse events based on documented categories like physical exertion, medical treatments, and falls.
• Developing risk assessment and prevention strategies based on the 11 derived recommendations for action.
• Comparing event rates and types across different phases of cancer treatment as described in the study.

Strengths

• Data is based on a prospective observational study across six pediatric oncology centers, suggesting a multi-site design.
• Includes 178 documented adverse events with specific grading (Common Terminology Criteria) and categorization.
• Derived from a large sample of 74,083 supervised exercise sessions, providing a clear denominator for incidence rates.
• Led to the development of 11 concrete, consensus-based recommendations for action to reduce adverse events.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for certain analyses.
• The dataset is very small (16.5 KB), indicating limited scope, likely containing summary statistics rather than raw session-level data.
