Abstract

The data presented in this article are complementary material to our work entitled "A decision support system for prioritization of patients on surgical waiting lists: A biopsychosocial approach". We prepared, together with physicians, a survey was used in the otorhinolaryngology unit of the Hospital of Talca for a period of five months, between February 05, 2018 and June 29, 2018. Two hundred and five surveys were collected through 20 biopsychosocial criteria, which allowed measuring the priority and vulnerability of patients on the surgical waiting list. The data allow choosing and preparing patients for surgery according to both a dynamic score and a vulnerability level.
