A dataset of anonymised hospitalised COVID-19 patient data: outcomes, demographics and biomarker measurements for two New York hospitals

These datasets are for a cohort of n=1540 anonymised hospitalised COVID-19 patients, and the data provide information on outcomes (i.e. patient death or discharge), demographics and biomarker measurements for two New York hospitals: State
University of New York (SUNY) Downstate Health Sciences University and Maimonides
Medical Center.

The file "demographics_both_hospitals.csv" contains the ultimate outcomes of hospitalisation (whether a patient was discharged or died), demographic information and known comorbidities for each of the patients.

The file "dynamics_clean_both_hospitals.csv" contains cleaned dynamic biomarker measurements for the n=1233 patients where this information was available and the data passed our various checks (see https://doi.org/10.1101/2021.11.12.21266248 for information of these checks and the cleaning process). Patients can be matched to demographic data via the "id" column.

Study approval and data collection

Study approval was obtained from the State University of New York (SUNY) Downstate Health Sciences University Institutional Review Board (IRB\#1595271-1) and Maimonides Medical Center Institutional Review Board/Research Committee (IRB\#2020-05-07). A retrospective query was performed among the patients who were admitted to SUNY Downstate Medical Center and Maimonides Medical Center with COVID-19-related symptoms, which was subsequently confirmed by RT PCR, from the beginning of February 2020 until the end of May 2020. Stratified randomization was used to select at least 500 patients who were discharged and 500 patients who died due to the complications of COVID-19. Patient outcome was recorded as a binary choice of “discharged” versus “COVID-19 related mortality”. Patients whose outcome was unknown were excluded. Demographic, clinical history and laboratory data was extracted from the hospital’s electronic health records.
