Clinical Data on Vitamin D, Ferritin, and Eosinophils in 120 Children with Asthma

120 patient records from a single-center retrospective study comparing children with acute asthma exacerbation to those in clinical remission. The dataset includes serum measurements of 25-hydroxyvitamin D, ferritin, interleukin-6, and eosinophil-related indices. It was authored by Pingping Wang and last updated on 2026-04-20.

Use Cases

• Predicting acute asthma exacerbation risk based on serum ferritin and eosinophil percentage.
• Analyzing the dose-response relationship between vitamin D levels and exacerbation risk.
• Building a combined predictive model using ferritin, eosinophil percentage, and vitamin D levels.
• Investigating correlations between metabolic (vitamin D, ferritin) and inflammatory (IL-6, eosinophils) markers.

Strengths

• Includes data for 120 pediatric patients, with 60 in acute exacerbation and 60 in remission.
• Contains specific median and mean values for key biomarkers like ferritin (145 vs. 82 ng/mL) and vitamin D (18.6 vs. 24.3 ng/mL).
• Statistical analysis results, including odds ratios and AUC scores (e.g., AUC=0.973 for a combined model), are provided in the description.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The description notes a risk of overfitting in the predictive model and that interaction testing was limited by sample size.
