| Literature-Informed Synthetic Snakebite Envenomation Dataset Generator |
| ====================================================================== |
| |
| Generates realistic synthetic records of snakebite envenomation cases |
| presenting to health facilities in sub-Saharan Africa, including snake |
| species, envenomation syndrome, severity grading, clinical features, |
| antivenom treatment, complications, and outcomes. |
| |
| Target population: Snakebite victims aged 1-80 years presenting to |
| health facilities across SSA. |
| |
| DAG (Sampling Order): |
| 1. age, sex, occupation, location (roots) |
| 2. snake_species (conditional on region/habitat) |
| 3. envenomation_syndrome: cytotoxic / hemotoxic / neurotoxic / dry bite |
| 4. severity: mild / moderate / severe |
| 5. clinical_features: swelling, coagulopathy, neurotoxicity, necrosis |
| 6. treatment: antivenom, wound care, fasciotomy |
| 7. complications: compartment syndrome, AKI, necrosis, amputation |
| 8. outcome: survived / died / disability |
