Pediatric Sepsis Mortality Data with Admission Ionized Calcium Levels, 2010-2019

A retrospective cohort of 289 critically ill children with sepsis from a single-center pediatric intensive care database between 2010 and 2019. The data, authored by Man Chen, includes admission ionized calcium measurements and tracks 28-day all-cause mortality outcomes. It was used to assess the prognostic value of ionized calcium for short-term mortality risk.

Use Cases

• Predicting 28-day mortality risk in pediatric sepsis patients based on admission ionized calcium levels.
• Evaluating the incremental prognostic value of a biomarker (ionized calcium) when added to baseline clinical models.
• Conducting subgroup analyses to assess risk factor consistency across strata of disease severity and treatment.
• Training models for early risk stratification in pediatric intensive care units using a routinely available biomarker.

Strengths

• Contains 289 patient records with a clear primary outcome of 28-day all-cause mortality.
• Provides specific statistical performance metrics for the biomarker, including an AUC of 0.734 and hazard ratios.
• Data covers a 9-year time range (2010-2019) from a single-center pediatric ICU database.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data is from a single center, which may limit generalizability to other populations.
