Data associated with a pilot and feasibility study of the maintenance of serum potassium levels ≥ 3.6 mEq/L vs ≥ 4.5 mEq/L after isolated elective coronary artery bypass grafting, and the incidence of new-onset atrial fibrillation. Data was collected from patients scheduled to undergo a heart operation called Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery (CABG) at two NHS hospitals in London.
Anonymised data may be requested for use in further research, in accordance with the research ethical approvals. Please state the variable names that you wish to access (from the list below) when submitting data requests.
No access will be provided to personally identifiable information analysed by the study.
Data variables are held in three tables:
These are linked using an ID number associated with each patient. ID numbers used in this dataset have been randomly assigned and are unrelated to other patient identifier systems.
