Abstract

In this work, we present the complete blood count data and PCR test results of a population of Ecuadorians from different provinces, primarily residing in the Andean region, especially in Quito. PCR was the standard test to detect Covid-19 during the pandemic since 2020. The data were obtained between March 1st and August 12th, 2021. Segurilab and Previne Salud laboratories performed the tests. The dataset contains about 400 clinical cases. Each patient agreed to participate in the study by sharing the results of their PCR (reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction) tests and CBC (complete blood count). CBC test measured several components and features of the blood, including red blood cells, white blood cells, hemoglobin, hematocrit, and platelets. The shared data are intended to provide researchers with input to analyze various events associated with the diagnosis of Covid-19 linked to potential diseases identified in the components measured in the CBC test. These data are helpful for pattern analysis of blood components in modeling prediction and clustering problems. The components measured in the complete blood count and CRP together can be helpful for the analysis of different medical conditions using machine learning algorithms.

Keywords: Ecuador; Hematological data; Machine learning; SARS-Cov-2.
