Pediatric Surgical Patient Thyroid Hormone Levels, Shanghai 2014-2023

A retrospective cohort of 233 pediatric patients (ages 0–18) undergoing surgery at Shanghai Children's Medical Center between 2014 and 2023. The dataset was created by Mengqin Shan to analyze risk factors for postoperative thyroid hormone reduction, with a focus on anesthesia duration and clinical outcomes in cardiac surgery patients.

Use Cases

• Predicting postoperative thyroid hormone reduction based on anesthesia duration and surgical factors mentioned in the description
• Analyzing associations between cardiac surgery, cardiopulmonary bypass use, and hormone levels as described in the study
• Modeling the relationship between severe thyroid hormone reduction and postoperative hospital stay length in pediatric cardiac patients

Strengths

• Contains data from 233 pediatric patients, a substantial cohort for clinical research
• Covers a 9-year time period (2014-2023) from a single medical center
• Includes detailed clinical variables such as anesthesia duration, surgical type, ASA physical status, and cardiopulmonary bypass use

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to a single center in Shanghai
