Using observational data on 996 patients who received a Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) at Ohio Heart Health, Lindner Center, Christ Hospital, Cincinnati (Kereiakes et al, 2000), we generated this much larger dataset via "plasmode simulation."
data(pci15k)A data frame of 11 variables on 15,487 patients; no NAs.
Patient ID number: 1 to 15487.
Binary PCI Survival variable: 1 => Survival for at least 6 months following PCI, 0 => Survival for less than 6 months.
Cardiac related costs incurred within 6 months of patient's initial PCI; numeric value in 1998 dollars; costs were truncated by death for the 404 patients with surv6mo == 0.
Numeric treatment selection indicator: thin = 0 implies usual PCI care alone; thin = 1 implies usual PCI care augmented by either planned or rescue treatment with a new blood thinning agent.
Coronary stent deployment; numeric, with 1 meaning YES and 0 meaning NO.
Height in centimeters; numeric integer from 133 to 198.
Female gender; numeric, with 1 meaning YES and 0 meaning NO.
Diabetes mellitus diagnosis; numeric, with 1 meaning YES and 0 meaning NO.
Acute myocardial infarction within the previous 7 days; numeric, with 1 meaning YES and 0 meaning NO.
Left ejection fraction; numeric value from 17 percent to 77 percent.
Number of vessels involved in the patient's initial PCI procedure; numeric integer from 0 to 5.
