Description
The data set consists of 14,691 observations from different patients with the clinical suspicion to suffer from bacteremia, for whom a a blood culture analysis was performed at the Vienna General Hospital, Austria, between January 2006 and December 2010. It contains the results of the blood culture analysis for bacteremia and the values of 51 potential predictors of bacteremia. To protect data privacy our version of this data was slightly modified compared to the original version, and this modified version was cleared by the Medical University of Vienna for public use (DC 2019-0054). Details on the meaning of the variables can be found in the data dictionary. The original version of the data set was used by Ratzinger et al (2014) to develop a model for screening bacteremic patients based on highly standardizable laboratory variables. This public version has been used by Gregorich et al (2021).
