PRIME-CVD: A Parametrically Rendered Informatics Medical Environment for Education in Cardiovascular Risk Modelling
In recent years, progress in medical informatics and machine learning has been accelerated by the availability of openly accessible benchmark datasets. However, patient-level electronic medical record (EMR) data are rarely available for teaching or methodological development due to privacy, governance, and re-identification risks. This has limited reproducibility, transparency, and hands-on training in cardiovascular risk modelling. Here we introduce PRIME-CVD, a parametrically rendered informatics medical environment designed explicitly for medical education. PRIME-CVD comprises two openly accessible synthetic data assets representing a cohort of 50,000 adults undergoing primary prevention for cardiovascular disease. The datasets are generated entirely from a user-specified causal directed acyclic graph parameterised using publicly available Australian population statistics and published epidemiologic effect estimates, rather than from patient-level EMR data or trained generative models. Data Asset 1 provides a clean, analysis-ready cohort suitable for exploratory analysis, stratification, and survival modelling, while Data Asset 2 restructures the same cohort into a relational, EMR-style database with realistic structural and lexical heterogeneity. Together, these assets enable instruction in data cleaning, harmonisation, causal reasoning, and policy-relevant risk modelling without exposing sensitive information. Because all individuals and events are generated de novo, PRIME-CVD preserves realistic subgroup imbalance and risk gradients while ensuring negligible disclosure risk. PRIME-CVD is released under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 licence to support reproducible research and scalable medical education.
