Abstract The long‐term risk of herpes zoster (HZ) after recovery from a SARS‐CoV‐2 infection is unclear. This retrospective cohort study assessed the HZ in patients following COVID‐19 diagnosis. retrospective, propensity score‐matched was based on multi‐institutional research network TriNetX. incident with compared that those not infected during 1‐year follow‐up period. Hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) its subtypes were calculated. identified 1 221 343 without diagnoses...
Abstract Population with malignancy is growing worldwide; however, its tuberculosis (TB) burden including remains unclear regarding incidence, mortality, and relapse. We retrieved information identified patients TB between 2000 2015 from the Taiwanese National Health Insurance reimbursement datasets, Taiwan cancer registry death registration. analyzed incidence of new in their mortality as well recurrence.

Whether nonobstetric surgery during gestation is associated with a higher risk of spontaneous abortion or adverse delivery outcomes still unclear.We performed retrospective case-control study using Longitudinal Health Insurance Database (LHID 2000) containing claim-data 1 million randomly selected beneficiaries. We compared the incidences and estimated adjusted odds ratios (aOR) 95% confidence interval (95% CI) for abortion, outcomes, cesarean delivery, prolonged hospital stay to determine...

Radical cystectomy and bladder preservation therapy are effective for muscle-invasive cancer (MIBC); however, many patients over 70 medically unfit these options. For such patients, radiotherapy serves as a viable alternative. This study compares survival outcomes of versus supportive care in MIBC ineligible or with concurrent chemoradiotherapy. Using the Taiwan Cancer Registry National Health Insurance Research Database (2011-2020), we identified cT2-T4N0-1M0 urinary urothelial carcinoma....
Oral cancer is one of the leading causes death, which are mostly preceded by oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMDs). Taiwanese government launched a free screening program. The aim this study was to analyze transformation rate OPMDs.This based on national-wide databases. 3,362,232 people were enrolled. Patients clinically diagnosed with leukoplakia, erythroplakia, submucosal fibrosis (OSF), verrucous hyperplasia (OVH), and lichen planus (OLP), from 2010 2013, identified. We followed up...
Bladder preservation therapy is an alternative to radical cystectomy in patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC). The purpose of this study compare survival outcomes between and MIBC using Asian nationwide registry database.
Abstract Background The incidence of isolated testicular relapse (ITR) acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) has decreased with contemporary treatment strategies, but outcomes are suboptimal a 58% 5‐year overall survival (OS). This study aimed to improve outcome in patients ITR B‐cell ALL (B‐ALL) occurring after 18 months first clinical remission using intensive systemic chemotherapy and decrease long‐term sequelae by limiting use radiation. Procedure Forty B‐ALL were enrolled. Induction...
Background: A sex difference in cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity (CIN) has been reported human and animal studies.We examined humans whether it is associated with sex-hormone changes.Methods: In this retrospective nationwide cohort study, we used Taiwan's National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD) to identify patients a history of malignancy cisplatin treatment.Patients diagnosed kidney disease before treatment those sex-organ malignancies were excluded.A diagnosis within 90 days...
Coronary artery disease is common in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary (COPD). Previous studies have shown that COPD a higher risk of mortality than those without after coronary bypass grafting (CABG). However, most the previous were small, single-center limited case numbers (or their only focus was mortality). The aim our study to on readmission, acute myocardial infarction (AMI), respiratory failure (ARF), cerebrovascular accident, and venous thromboembolism rates CABG an Asian...
