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.
