lindner.RdData from an observational study of 996 patients receiving a PCI at Ohio Heart Health in 1997 and followed for at least 6 months by the staff of the Lindner Center. This is a landmark dataset in the literature on propensity score adjustment for treatment selection bias due to practice of evidence based medicine; patients receiving abciximab tended to be more severely diseased than those who did not receive a IIb/IIIa cascade blocker.

A data frame with 996 observations on the following 10 variables, no NAs.
Mean life years preserved due to survival for at least 6 months following PCI; numeric value of either 11.4 or 0.
Cardiac related costs incurred within 6 months of patient's initial PCI; numeric value in 1998 dollars; costs were truncated by death for the 26 patients with lifepres == 0.
Numeric treatment selection indicator; 0 implies usual PCI care alone; 1 implies usual PCI care deliberately augmented by either planned or rescue treatment with abciximab.
Coronary stent deployment; numeric, with 1 meaning YES and 0 meaning NO.
Height in centimeters; numeric integer from 108 to 196.
Female gender; numeric, with 1 meaning YES and 0 meaning NO.
Diabetes mellitus diagnosis; numeric, with 1 meaning YES and 0 meaning NO.
Acute myocardial infarction within the previous 7 days; numeric, with 1 meaning YES and 0 meaning NO.
Left ejection fraction; numeric value from 0 percent to 90 percent.
Number of vessels involved in the patient's initial PCI procedure; numeric integer from 0 to 5.
