Health-related quality of life among thalassemia patients in Bangladesh using the SF‑36 questionnaire

This dataset presents comprehensive health-related quality of life (HRQoL) metrics collected from thalassemia patients in Bangladesh using the validated SF-36 (Short Form Health Survey) questionnaire. The study, published in Scientific Reports (DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-34205-9), investigates the physical and mental health domains of affected individuals, offering valuable insights into their well-being.

The dataset includes demographic, clinical, and SF-36-derived health domain scores, encompassing variables such as age, gender, marital status, educational level, comorbidities, and blood transfusion status, alongside detailed domain scores for general health, physical functioning, mental health, and social functioning. The data also features aggregated physical and mental health summary scores and the total SF-36 score.

This dataset is particularly useful for researchers, clinicians, and public health professionals interested in assessing the quality of life in thalassemia patients, identifying at-risk groups, and evaluating the impact of medical interventions. It supports secondary analyses, cross-cultural comparisons, and methodological studies in HRQoL research.
