This study aimed evaluate risk psychiatric disorders in spouses EOAD patients, using psychotropic drug initiation as a surrogate indicator. Methods A cohort was conducted Japanese claims database, with (exposed spouses) matched non‐EOAD individuals (reference up 1:10 ratio. Primary outcome mood disorder drugs, and secondary...
Septic shock is a common and life-threatening condition that requires intensive care. Intensive care units (ICUs) in Japan are classified into ICUs high-dependency (HDUs), depending on presence of full-time certified intensivists the number assigned nurses. Compared with other developed countries, there fewer beds Japan; therefore, non-intensivists often treat patients septic HDUs. It unknown where we should because no studies have compared clinical outcomes between ICU HDU treatment. This...
Abstract Background There has been a significant increase in scientific investigations of the hearing‐dementia association among research on potentially modifiable risk factors for cognitive impairment. We tested two clinical questions. Analysis 1: does persistent hearing aid (HA) use decrease decline function caused by ageing? 2: at time HA fitting predict future use? Methods This case–control study performed referral centres reported data obtained over 4.5‐year period. recruited group...
Objective To examine the incidence of and indications for paediatric tracheotomy to clarify disease burden relevant in a population-based context. Design A descriptive analysis retrospective cohort. Setting This study utilised nationwide claims database Japan constructed by JMDC (Tokyo, Japan). The includes data approximately 3.75 million insured persons (approximately 3.1% population Japan) comprising mainly company employees their family members. Participants We identified children...
Objectives/Hypothesis This study aimed to investigate the risk of postoperative recurrent laryngeal nerve paralysis (RLNP) with and without use intraoperative monitoring (IONM) during thyroid cancer surgery. Study Design Retrospective cohort study. Methods utilized a nationwide claims database in Japan. Patients who underwent surgery IONM were included, RLNP incidence was compared. Results The included 5,804 patients. Multivariable logistic regression analysis revealed that not associated...
Abstract Aim Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) relieves menopausal syndromes but concerns regarding certain cancer risks remain. This study aimed to investigate in perimenopausal women using HRT. Methods Using a health care database Japan, we compared breast and other who started HRT between January 2011 October 2021 at age 45–54 years with that of did not use Women the control group were selected by 1:4 exact matching on birth year, followed from same index time as their counterparts....
This study aimed to investigate the risk factors associated with peritonsillar abscess (PTA) recurrence in adult patients.This retrospective cohort used a nationwide insurance claims database Japan. Adult patients (aged ≥ 20 years) who received intravenous antibiotics or surgical therapy within 5 days of their first PTA diagnosis were included. Multivariable Cox proportional modeling was for using variables: age, sex, comorbidities, tobacco use, history recurrent tonsillitis, duration...
Background: Early detection of cognitive decline allows timely intervention to delay progression dementia. However, current evaluation tools often include items delivered via verbal forms instruction, which can cause poor performance in patients with hearing loss. Objective: To develop and validate a screening battery, the Reading Cognitive Test Kyoto (ReaCT Kyoto), comprising test given through non-verbal instruction. Methods: A cross-sectional multi-center study was conducted three medical...
Background
Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is the most common among patients requiring dialysis for first time in Japan. Multidisciplinary care (MDC) may prevent progression of failure. However, effectiveness and timing MDC to preserve function with DKD unclear. Therefore, aim this study was investigate whether affects preservation as well clinical practice.
Specialized pressure transducers for arterial pulse waveform analysis (S-APWA) devices are dedicated kits connected to an catheter that monitors hemodynamic parameters, such as cardiac output, variation, and stroke volume less invasively. While the association between use of S-APWA clinical outcomes in perioperative patients has been previously evaluated, its assessment with septic shock remains inadequate.
When considering changing hypnotic pharmacotherapy, lemborexant has attracted attention as a candidate due to its effectiveness and safety profile. However, few studies have investigated switching patterns in clinical practice.
Although physical activity is recommended for patients with cancer, changes in across cancer diagnosis and treatment have not been objectively evaluated.
