BackgroundHearing loss affects access to spoken language, which can affect cognition and development, negatively social wellbeing. We present updated estimates from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study on prevalence hearing in 2019, as well condition's associated disability.MethodsWe did systematic reviews population-representative surveys 1990 2019. fitted nested meta-regression models for severity-specific prevalence, accounting aid coverage, cause, presence tinnitus. also forecasted...
Background To investigate the individual profile of each SGLT2 (sodium‐glucose cotransoporter‐2) inhibitor in patients with different backgrounds. Methods and Results This study included 21 placebo‐controlled randomized controlled trials a total 96 196 participants, investigating empagliflozin, ertugliflozin, dapagliflozin, canagliflozin, sotagliflozin. The primary efficacy end point was composite cardiovascular death hospitalizations for heart failure. secondary points were all‐cause death,...
The incidence of dry eye disease has increased; the potential for crowdsource data to help identify undiagnosed in symptomatic individuals remains unknown.To assess characteristics and risk factors associated with diagnosed using smartphone app DryEyeRhythm.A cross-sectional study crowdsourced was conducted including Japan who downloaded DryEyeRhythm completed entire questionnaire; duplicate users were excluded. released on November 2, 2016; from 2016, January 12, 2018.DryEyeRhythm collected...
Objectives The Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) questionnaire is widely used to evaluate subjective symptoms of dry eye disease (DED) as a primary diagnostic criterion. This study aimed develop Japanese version the OSDI (J-OSDI) and assess its reliability validity. Design setting Hospital-based cross-sectional observational study. Participants A total 209 patients recruited from Department Ophthalmology at Juntendo University Hospital. Methods We translated culturally adapted into...
Matching is a technique through which patients with and without an outcome of interest (in case-control studies) or exposure cohort are sampled from underlying to have the same similar distributions some characteristics. This used increase statistical efficiency cost studies. In studies, besides time in risk set sampling, controls often matched for each case respect important confounding factors, such as age sex, covariates large number values levels, area residence (e.g., post code)...
The risk and benefits of COVID-19 vaccination during pregnancy are under investigation. Pooled evidence regarding neonatal maternal outcomes in association with is scarce.
Objectives: To examine the effect of postoperative polymyxin B hemoperfusion on mortality in patients with abdominal septic shock triggered by lower gastrointestinal tract perforation, identifying subpopulations who may benefit from this treatment. Design: Propensity-matched analysis. Setting: We used a nationwide inpatient database Japan. Patients: included are 18 years old or older hospitalized during period 34 months between July 2007 and October 2011, had open surgery day admission (day...
The prevalence of dry eye disease (DED) is increasing worldwide, and its diagnosis often needs dedicated reagents machines. We investigated the usefulness maximum blink interval (MBI) (the length time that participants could keep their eyes open) in screening for DED. This cross-sectional study included 292 patients (194 with DED 98 without DED) recruited between September 2016 2017. compared MBI DED; examined correlations other clinical features DED, including subjective symptoms (Dry...
We assessed the survival benefit of polymyxin B hemoperfusion (PMX) in septic shock patients starting continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT), who are known to have an increased rate mortality.Adult Japanese diagnosis procedure combination database satisfying following criteria were enrolled: hospitalized 2007-2012; diagnosed as having sepsis; required noradrenaline and/or dopamine; and started CRRT intensive care unit. Propensity scores for receiving PMX created from patient hospital...
