Anonymized DICOM-RT dose-volume histogram, clinical, and serial DIGEST data from the MD Anderson Head and neck Cancer Symptom Working Group (Kamal et al., PMCID: PMC6595477)

Abstract

Anonymized public clinical, dose-volume, and DIGEST outcome data, as detailed in Kamal et al. (PMID: 29961581; PMCID: PMC6595477).Data consists of 3 txt files encoded as csv files: 1 detailing clinical variables and serial DIGEST objective swallowing assessments ("Anonymized clinical data.txt"); 1 detailing dose-volume histograms parameters in 1-Gy bins for labeled swallowing muscle organs at risk [OARs]("Anonymized OAR dose-summary .txt"); and 1 detailing summary statistics (mean and maximum dose) for all listed OARs ("Anonymized OAR dose-summary .txt"). Patient cases are labeled using a random-number-generated hex as an anonymized patient "AnonID" across all .txt files.Data labels are generally self-explanatory; please email MKJomaa [AT] mdanderson.org with queries re: syntax.As these are fully anonymized data, we are unable to link them to internal datasets or provide additional case-specific information outside that contained herein.</div
