Abstract Background and Aims Longitudinal change in income is crucial explaining cardiovascular health inequalities. However, there limited evidence for disease (CVD) risk associated with dynamics over time among individuals type 2 diabetes (T2D). Methods Using a nationally representative sample from the Korean National Health Insurance Service database, 1 528 108 adults aged 30–64 T2D no history of CVD were included 2009 to 2012 (mean follow-up 7.3 years). monthly insurance premium...
The risk of incident atrial fibrillation (AF) among breast cancer survivors, especially for younger women, and treatment effects on the association remain unclear. This study aimed to investigate AF survivors evaluate by age group, length follow-up, treatment.
Evidence of the association between income fluctuation and risk type 2 diabetes (T2D) is scarce.To investigate whether sustained low or high changes are associated with incidence T2D.In this population-based cohort study, more than 7.8 million adults without T2D aged 30 to 64 years from a nationally representative sample Korean Health Insurance Service database were enrolled in 2012 followed up 2019 (median follow-up, 6.3 [IQR, 6.1-6.6 years]).Twenty quantiles monthly health insurance...
Although translated versions of the Oxford Knee Score (OKS) in several languages are available, absence a Korean version precludes comparing data from Korea with that other countries using OKS.We therefore evaluated reliability and validity adapted first English OKS into Korean, then back English, held expert committee discussions to finalize version. We mailed VAS for pain, OKS, previously validated SF-36 142 patients who underwent TKAs knee osteoarthritis. Factor analysis assessment kappa...
To evaluate the benefit of adjuvant radiation therapy (RT) for retroperitoneal liposarcoma (RPLS) following gross tumor removal.We reviewed 77 patients with primary RPLS surgically treated between January 2000 and December 2013. Cases residual disease were excluded. Tumor grade was evaluated according to French Federation Cancer Centers Sarcoma Group (FNCLCC) system. Adjuvant RT delivered 32 (42%) using external beam alone. Median follow-up time 36 months (range, 5 169).Among patients, 33...
Patients with neuromuscular disease reportedly have a higher incidence of postoperative dislocation after bipolar hemiarthroplasty. Although the literature has focused on high prevalence preoperative neurologic conditions in patients who had dislocations hemiarthroplasties, relative and without is unclear.We therefore (1) asked whether hemiarthroplasty was greater than for those without, (2) function differed between two groups, (3) explored potential risk factors groups.We retrospectively...
We aimed to investigate the association of various obesity parameters and phenotypes with hypertension in nationally representative Korean adults. Among adults aged 19 years older who participated Korea National Health Nutrition Examination Survey 2008-2010, a total 16,363 subjects (8,184 men 8,179 women) were analyzed. Hypertension was defined as blood pressure 140/90 mm Hg or higher taking antihypertensive medication. Multiple logistic regression analysis used estimate...
Study Design A prospective study. Purpose To evaluate the reliability and validity of adapted Korean version Neck Pain Disability Scale (NPDS). Overview Literature The NPDS has not been completely demonstrated yet. Methods Translation/retranslation English was conducted, all steps cross-cultural adaptation process were performed. visual analog scale (VAS) measure pain, previously validated Short Form-36 (SF-36) mailed to 91 patients, who had surgically treated for degenerative cervical...
Prospective study.To identify relationships between spinopelvic parameters and health-related quality of life in rheumatoid arthritis (RA).Little data are available on sagittal RA.The study control groups comprised 120 RA patients 60 controls. All subjects underwent anteroposterior lateral radiography the whole spine, including hip joints, all completed clinical questionnaires. The radiographic examined were: sacral slope, pelvic tilt, incidence, thoracic kyphosis, lumbar lordosis,...
Abstract A previously healthy 49‐year‐old male patient presented with COVID‐19 infection and required mechanical ventilation extracorporeal membrane oxygenation due to severe hypoxemia. Echocardiography showed cardiac dysfunction an apical sparing strain pattern, which rapidly normalized within a week. Apical myocardial in patients may suggest reverse‐type stress cardiomyopathy.
OBJECTIVE There is limited evidence on the association of sustained low-income status, income changes, and all-cause mortality risk in individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D). RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Using Korean Health Insurance Service database, we studied 1,923,854 adults T2D (aged ≥30 years) without cardiovascular disease cancer, who were enrolled from 2009 through 2012 followed to end 2020 (median 10.8 years follow-up). We defined levels based amount health insurance premiums...
Study Design: Prospective study. Objective: To examine the possible association of estrogen receptor α (ERα) polymorphisms and pain intensity in symptomatic female degenerative spondylolisthesis (DS) patients. Summary Background Data: DS has been associated with a significant sex effect. Thus, several studies about between ER gene osteoarthritis have reported. However, whether is sensitivity inconsistent existing literatures from both human animal studies. Methods: The PvuII XbaI...
Abstract It has been reported that people with asthma have an increased risk of hypertension. However, little is known about the specific relationship between and hypertension in young adults. Among subjects who participated Korea National Health Nutrition Examination Survey conducted 2008–2013, a total 10,138 adults (4,226 men 5,912 women) aged 19–39 years were analyzed. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to estimate adjusted odds ratios (ORs) 95% confidence intervals (CIs). The...
We herein describe a case of acute myocarditis which may mimic myocardial infarction, since affected patients experience 'typical' chest pain, the ECG changes are identical to those observed in coronary syndromes, and serum markers increased. This emphasises importance performing appropriate cardiac MRI help differential definitive diagnosis as well extent involvement. ST elevation infarction is rare young adults when it encountered, should raise its mimickers.
Purpose: The purpose of present study is to analyze the incidence and predisposing factors for postoperative complications that diabetes mellitus (DM) patients suffer after undergoing total hip arthroplasty. Materials Methods: Among 379 who underwent primary cementless arthroplasty from September 1998 February 2007, fifty-nine (62 hips) had DM were selected other 320 (378 without set as a control group perform comparative analysis. mean follow up period was 36 months (range, 12-117 months)...

Background: Obesity defined by body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) can affect the epidemiology of hypertension differently, however, there were not enough large national wide studies using two measurements. Some research reported both associated with diseases including in a different way such as gender-specifically. So, we will evaluate prevalence, awareness, treatment, control according to obese status nationally representative data Materials Methods: Among adults aged ≥19...
