Cancer patient´s care transition database.xlsx

The dataset contains
information of 213 cancer patients undergoing clinical or surgical treatment characterized
on sociodemographic and clinical data as well as data from the Care Transition
Measure (CTM 15-Brazil). Data collection was carried out 7 to 30 days after
their discharge from hospital from June to August 2019. Understanding these
data can contribute to improving quality of care transitions and avoiding hospital
readmissions. To this end, this dataset contains a broad array of variables:

*gender

*age group

*place of residence

*race

*marital status

*schooling

*paid work activity

*type of treatment

*cancer staging

*metastasis

*comorbidities

*main complaint

*continue use medication

*diagnosis

*cancer type

*diagnostic year

*oncology treatment

*first hospitalization

*readmission in the last 30
days

*number of hospitalizations
in the last 30 days

*readmission in the last 6
months

*number of hospitalizations
in the last 6 months

*readmission in the last year

*number of hospitalizations
in the last year

*questions 1-15 from CTM
15-Brazil

The data are presented as a
single Excel XLSX file: cancer patient´s care transitions dataset.xlsx.

The
analyses of the present dataset have the potential to generate hospital
readmission prevention strategies to be implemented by the hospital team. Researchers
who are interested in CTs of cancer patients can extensively explore the
variables described here.

The project from which these
data were extracted was approved by the institution’s research ethics committee
(approval
n. 3.266.259/2019) at Associação Hospital de Caridade Ijuí, Rio Grande do Sul,
Brazil.
