Quarantine has been used for centuries in an effort to prevent the introduction, transmission, and spread of communicable diseases. While backed by legal authority, public even health care worker community's understanding term is murky at best scientific evidence support use quarantine frequently lacking. The multiple interpretations references quarantine, inconsistent application laws across jurisdictional boundaries, reports ineffectiveness are further complicated associated infringement...
Objectives Emergency department (ED) revisits had traditionally been used as a quality indicator, but focused more on the same hospital revisit (SHRV). Our study investigated 72-hour ED SHRV and different (DHRV), explored predictors of DHRV. Methods were analyzed using Taiwan’s National Health Insurance Research Database that contained one-third patient records from 2012 to 2013. Rates DHRV calculated compared among levels accreditation. Linear regression analyses measure correlation between...
Emerging infectious diseases (EIDs), including the latest COVID-19 pandemic, have emerged and raised global public health crises in recent decades. Without existing protective immunity, an EID may spread rapidly cause mass casualties a very short time. Therefore, it is imperative to identify cases with risk of disease progression for optimized allocation medical resources case facilities are overwhelmed flood patients. This study has aimed cope this challenge from aspect preventive medicine...
Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is a metabolically active visceral fat depot. Its distribution asymmetrical and primarily concentrated in the grooves. To date, it remains unclear which measurement of EAT best reflects its metabolic risk.We aimed to examine correlations between various multidetector computed tomographic measurements EAT, syndrome components, plasma levels high-sensitivity C-reactive protein adipokines.This study included 148 consecutive patients undergoing tomography prior...
Abstract Background With international concern over emerging infectious diseases (EID) and bioterrorist attacks, public health is being required to have early outbreak detection systems. A disease surveillance team was organized establish a hospital emergency department-based syndromic system (ED-SSS) capable of automatically transmitting patient data electronically from the hospitals responsible for care throughout country Centers Disease Control in Taiwan (Taiwan-CDC) starting March, 2004....
This was a study to evaluate the utilization of emergency medical services (EMS) systems during outbreak severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), and assess incidence infection among technicians (EMTs).This prospective, observational conducted in EMS system Taipei, Taiwan. Probable/suspect cases SARS were defined by World Health Organization criteria. SARS-related transports categorized into 1) requests from hospitals for probable/suspect SARS, 2) quarantined individuals, 3) febrile...
Objective: A burn mass casualty incident (BMCI) involving 499 patients occurred at a “color party” in Taiwan June 27, 2015. We implemented study to identify critical challenges regarding the prehospital emergency care BMCIs. Methods: 3-stage, mixed methods was conducted 2016. First, statistical analysis of management using data retrieved from Emergency Medical Management System Ministry Health and Welfare, performed. This followed by face-to-face, open-ended interview with medical...
Objectives This study aimed to examine comprehensively the prognostic impact of underlying comorbidities among hospitalised patients with influenza-like illness (ILI) in different age groups and provide recommendations targeting vulnerable patients. Setting participants A retrospective cohort 83 227 cases ILI were identified from Taiwan’s National Health Insurance Research Database January 2005 December 2010. Cases stratified into three groups: paediatric (0–17 years), adult (18–64 years)...
The increasing dengue burden and epidemic severity worldwide have highlighted the need to improve surveillance. In non-endemic areas such as Taiwan, where outbreaks start mostly with imported cases from Southeast Asia, a closer examination of surveillance dynamics detect early is necessary. To evaluate problems investigate involvement different factors at various stages, we investigated 632 laboratory-confirmed indigenous in Kaohsiung City, Taiwan during 2009–2010. estimated sensitivity...
Making emergency evacuation plans for disaster prevention is always a high priority hospital administrators to ensure the safety of patients and employees. This study employs outpatient chemotherapy area cancer medical center as an example, its involves professional care relatively complex human group behaviors. Hence, it necessary simulate evacuations in advance formulate special plan. To achieve this task, constraint-based simulation system developed with three major processes: defining...
