Data from: Comparison of Shukla and modified Shukla formulas for predicting umbilical venous catheter insertion depth in preterm infants under 32 weeks of gestation

This dataset contains the de-identified individual patient data used to compare the accuracy of the Shukla formula and the modified Shukla formula in predicting the optimal insertion depth of umbilical venous catheters (UVC) in preterm infants with a gestational age of less than 32 weeks. The data includes infant demographics, birth parameters, calculated insertion depths using both formulas, the ideal depth determined by X-ray, and catheterization outcomes. The aim of this data sharing is to facilitate the reproducibility of the study findings and to support further research in neonatal vascular access.
