Through the INTernational ConsoRtium of Primary Care BIg Data Researchers (INTRePID), we compared pandemic impact on volume primary care visits and uptake virtual in Australia, Canada, China, Norway, Singapore, South Korea, Sweden, UK USA.Visit definitions were agreed centrally, implemented locally across various settings INTRePID countries, weekly visit counts shared centrally for analysis. We evaluated rate physician during 2019 2020. Rate ratios (RRs) total proportion that period 2020...
Hypertension is highly prevalent among patients who visit primary care clinics. Various factors and lifestyle behaviors are associated with effective blood pressure control. We aimed to identify modifications control prescribed antihypertensive agents.This survey was conducted at 15 hospital-based family practices in Korea from July 2008 June 2010. prospectively recruited retrospectively assessed 1,453 candesartan. An initial evaluation of patients' lifestyles performed using individual...
Hypertension is a major contributor to the global disease burden of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease. The aim this study was determine demographic clinical factors associated with adherence antihypertensive medication.From August 2012 February 2015, we recruited 1,523 Korean patients hypertension who visited family physicians. conducted in 24 facilities located urban metropolitan areas. Of these facilities, two were primary care clinics 22 level 2 or 3 hospitals. Adherence assessed...
Background Few studies have investigated the association between religion and health behaviors in Korea, where various religions coexist. The present study aimed to investigate among primary care patients Korea. Methods We analyzed data from Family Cohort Study Primary Care. Among 1,040 participants cohort, 973 of those who had reported their were included analysis. Participants completed standardized questionnaires that religious status lifestyle factors, such as physical activity, smoking...
The effect of body mass index (BMI) changes and variability on the risk for Alzheimer's disease (AD) remains unclear. We analyzed 45,076 participants, whose BMI were measured phase 1 (2002-2003), 2 (2004-2005), 3 (2006-2007), Korean National Health Insurance Service-Health Screening Cohort. evaluated 2- 4-year AD using Cox regression models. In men, association between 2-year changes, variability, was not significant. Risk higher in men had decreased 10.1-15.0% over 4 years. women, aHRs 95%...
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) has been implicated in the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy. We investigated serial changes VEGF kidney and assessed whether glomerular urinary levels are related to severity Furthermore, we examined relationship between albumin excretion (UAE) rate Otsuka-Long-Evans-Tokushima-Fatty (OLETF) rats. Glomerular mRNA expression protein synthesis were evaluated by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction, immunohistochemical staining situ...
This study was conducted to evaluate a problem-oriented focused torso bedside ultrasound protocol termed "Sonographic Evaluation of Aetiology for Respiratory difficulty, Chest pain, and/or Hypotension" (SEARCH 8Es) its ability narrow differential diagnoses and increase physicians' diagnostic confidence, accuracy, patients presenting with dyspnea, chest or symptomatic hypotension.This single-center prospective observational over 12 months in an emergency department included 308 (184 men 124...
There has been no study reporting on the influence of sleep deprivation male reproductive system including sperm quality. In this study, we hypothesized that could lead to adverse effect system. The rats were divided into three groups: 1) control (home-cage, n = 10); 2) SD4 (sleep for 4 days, and 3) SD7 7 10). Sleep was performed by a modified multiple platform method. Sperm quality (sperm motion parameters counts), hormone levels (corticosterone testosterone), histopathology testis...
Background: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is the current standard of care for ACL tears. However, results are not consistently successful; autografts or allografts have certain disadvantages; and synthetic grafts had poor clinical results. Purpose: To determine if recellularization decellularized tendons combined with mechanical stimulation in a bioreactor could replicate properties native be successfully used vivo. Study Design: Controlled laboratory study. Methods:...
Sleep disorder is a common problem in adults and affects physical mental health. We investigated factors associated with poor sleep quality Korean primary care.A total of 129 couples (129 husbands wives) aged 30 to 79 years were included this study from March, 2009 February, 2010. The subjects surveyed using specific questionnaire. was defined by Pittsburgh Quality Index global score greater than 5 (poor sleepers). divided into group good sleepers (n = 160) 98). Socio-demographic clinical...

We used National Health Insurance Service-National Screening Cohort (NHIS-HEALS) database, which includes information on of Program participants such as severity type disability, were obtained from Korean Disability Registry. Cox proportional hazard models evaluate CV mortality. constructed four with different...
Abstract Purpose In order to assess the determinants of non‐compliance with a lipid‐lowering therapy, prospective study hyperlipidemic Korean subjects was carried out. Methods A total 1019 patients observed by 46 family physicians for period 1 year from January 1999 2000. To ascertain compliance associated lipid lowering drug (Simvastatin), we regularly followed up at intervals 4, 12 and 24 weeks. The criterion evaluating is measure clinic attendance. Using structured questionnaire, were...
SUMMARY: In the last 10 years, many studies have focused on non‐classical action of aldosterone. One most important new aspects aldosterone is its pathogenic role as proinflammatory and profibrotic molecules. It has been reported that induces myocardial fibrosis vascular inflammation through up‐regulation various cytokines. We investigated effect spironolactone, which a non‐selective mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist, monocyte chemoattractant peptide (MCP‐1) collagen synthesis in...
The Effect of Sleep Quality on the Development Type 2 Diabetes in Primary Care PatientsSleep has important effects physical and mental health, sleep disorders are associated with increased mortality morbidity.This study was conducted to evaluate relationship between duration or quality risk type diabetes.The FACTS (FAmily CohorT Study primary care) established investigate relations familial environment health which at 22 family medicine outpatient clinics general hospitals.Total 563 patients...
While gastric cancer is the most common malignancy in Korean adult population, little known of efficacy screening among Koreans. To study screening, this case-control was conducted. From November 1996 to July 1998, 441 newly diagnosed (321 advanced, 120 early) patients were enrolled at Department General Surgery and 107 controls inpatient Family Medicine Otolaryngology. History examinations possible risk factors collected through interview with a structured questionnaire. Patients advanced...
To estimate the prevalence of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection among Korean adults and to present putative route HCV transmission them, serum samples from 4917 older than 20 years age were tested for antibody (anti-HCV), histories blood transfusion other pertinent information obtained by self-administered questionnaires. The overall anti-HCV was 1.7%; 1.4% in subjects with normal levels aspartate aminotransferase (AST) alanine (ALT), 3.3% those slightly elevated 5.9% markedly enzymes....
To investigate risk factors for HCV infection according to the genotype, we studied 178 patients positive HCV-PCR and 226 controls that were negative anti-HCV antibody. One hundred twenty five (community control) recruited from spouses of HCV-PCR-positive other 101 hospital visitors (hospital control). genotyping was performed by PCR, epidemiological data obtained all participants. The distribution genotypes as follows -- 1a (0.6%), 1b (39.9%), 2a (38.2%), 2b (0%), 3 (1.1%), unclassified...
