Trauma patients from different hospitals
Description
This data set consists of data of 371 trauma patients from three hospitals.
The binary variable mortality is used as an outcome, and variables age, sex, the Injury Severity Score (ISS, ranging from 1 (low) to 75 (high)) and the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS, which expresses the level of consciousness, ranging from 3 (low) to 15 (high)) are used as covariates.
There are three types of hospitals: peripheral hospital without a neuro-surgical unit (Status = 1), peripheral hospital with a neuro-surgical unit (Status = 2), and academic medical center (Status = 3). Originally, the data come from a multi center study collected with a different aim. For educational purposes minor changes have been made, see the references below.
