The State Ambulatory Surgery and Services Databases (SASD) are part of the family of databases and software tools developed for the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP). The SASD are a set of databases that capture surgeries performed on the same day in which patients are admitted and released. The SASD contain more than 100 clinical and nonclinical variables abstracted from hospital discharge...

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAHMSA) maintains the Treatment Episode Data Set (TEDS), a national data system of annual admissions (TEDS-A) to and discharges (TEDS-D) from substance abuse treatment facilities in the United States. TEDS collects information on service setting, treatment details, and demographic variables from state agencies on all admissions and discharges...

The Nationwide Readmissions Database (NRD) is database under the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP) which contains nationally representative information on hospital readmissions for all ages, including all payers and the uninsured. The NRD contains data from approximately 18 million discharges per year (35 million weighted discharges) across most of the United States. Data elements include: Discharge...

The National Drug Abuse Treatment System Survey (NDATSS) provides management- and policy-relevant information about substance abuse treatment in the United States. Substance abuse treatment programs are chosen for the study by random selection from a list of all such programs, provided by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). Survey response rates range between 82-92%,...

This dataset was collected for a combined retrospective and prospective cross-sectional study to establish risk factors for infection after treatment for intracerebral hemorrhage and subarachnoid hemorrhage and to determine the impact of those infections on long-term outcomes. Data was harvested from Tisch Hospital records from January 2013 to December 2014 retrospectively and from January 2015 to...

In order to study the effects of deep brain stimulation (DBS) in cases of refractory Tourette syndrome (TS), researchers performed a retrospective chart review of patients who underwent surgery between January 2009 and May 2016. Thirteen consecutive patients with at least 6 months of follow-up are included in this dataset. Patients were assessed using the Yale Global Tic Severity Scale (YGTSS), and...

This dataset was compiled as part of a study to compare T1-T4 decrement between upper and lower extremity muscles as a way to investigate the difference between recovery time from a neuromuscular blocking agent (NMBA). The study analyzed the differences between recovery of the foot, abductor hallucis muscle, and hand, first dorsal interosseous muscle, by application of quantitative train-of-four (TOF)...

This dataset was compiled as part of the Graphic User Interface for deep brain stimulation (DBS) Evaluation (GUIDE) study, a multicenter prospective pilot study designed to assess whether a computer-guided model could provide equally effective and more expeditious programming results when compared with the traditional, clinical deduced method of DBS programming of the subthalamic nucleus (STN). 26...

The Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients (SRTR) database includes data collected by the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN), supplemented with data from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and the National Technical Information Services (NTIS) Death Master File. The database allows organ transplant programs to register candidates for transplant, match donated...

This dataset was collected as part of a double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized clinical trial to determine the effects of intravenous rHuEpo (200U/kg daily for three consecutive days) on measures of platelet and endothelial cell activation, soluble Fas ligand, and peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) expression of angiogenesis signaling proteins. The study included 44 adults over 21 years...
