Data Dictionary

The data to be used for this work was collected in the Real Hospital Português (RHP), Brazil, anonymized and shipped to Portugal with the approval of the RHP Ethics Commitee. The Ethics Committee of the University of Porto, Portugal, also approved the use of this data for academic studies. Entries consist of children between 0 and 19 years old, with or without a cardiac pathology (variable NORMAL X ANORMAL).

Table 1 gives a brief description of the variables.


Table 1: Data Dictionary
ID anonymized patient ID
Peso patient weight
Altura patient height
IMC body mass index
Atendimento date of visit
DN birth date
IDADE age
Convenio health care insurance
PULSOS pulses
PA SISTOLICA systolic blood pressure
PA DIASTOLICA diastolic blood pressure
PPA result SBP/DBP
NORMAL x ANORMAL absence or presence of pathology
B2 type of the second heart sound
SOPRO murmur type
FC cardiac frequency
HDA1 histoy of disease 1
HDA2 histoy of disease 2 (other history)
SEXO patient gender
MOTIVO1 first reason for being forwarded to the cardiology clinic
MOTIVO2 second reason for being forwarded to the cardiology clinic


Variable PPA is calculated from PA SISTOLICA and PA DIASTOLICA, according to cardiac clinical tables that relate the patient gender with age and blood pressures (systolic and diastolic).

In order to be able to improve the quality of your analysis, it is required that you search for intervals normally used in pediatric cardiology, for example, for variables IDADE and IMC.
