danish.ed.primary

Description

Data from a Danish study on triage in an emergency department (ED)

Usage

danish.ed.primary

Format

A tibble with 6249 rows and 21 variables:

mort30

numeric, 1 if patient died within 30 days of admission, 0 otherwise

triage

factor, triage score given at arrival to ED. Values green, yellow, orange, red, from lowest to highest priority for treatment. The value blue normally denotes severity not warranting admission to the ED, but no participants coded blue are in these data.

age

numeric, age in years, rounded to lower integer

sex

factor, values female, male

albumin

numeric, serum albumin, in g/L

creatinine

numeric, serum creatinine, in umol/L

hemaglobin

numeric, serum hemaglobin, in mmol/L

potassium

numeric, serum potassium, in mmol/L

leuk.count

blood leukocyte count, in 10E9/L

sodium

numeric, serum sodium, in mmol/L

c.react.protein

numeric, serum C-reactive protein

oxygen.sat

numeric, peripheral arterial oxygen saturation, as a percent

resp.rate

numeric, respiratory rate per minute

heart.rate

numeric, heart rate, beats/min

systolic.bp

numeric, systolic blood pressure, in mmHg

glasgow.coma.scale

numeric, extent of impaired consciousness in patients with acute medical condition or trauma, scored between 3 and 15, 3 being the worst and 15 the best. Score is based on 3 subscales, best eye, verbal and motor responses.

readmit.hosp

factor, readmitted to hospital within 30 days, values yes, no

days.in.hosp

Details

Data from a prospective cohort study of triage scoring for an emergency department (ED). The study examined whether the use of patient level measurements would improve an existing triage score. These data are the training data (called primary data in the original manuscript) used for model building. Some variable names have been changed for readability, but the data on 21 variables for the 6,249 participants are otherwise unchanged.
