Background Although the historical risk of acute kidney injury (AKI) after intravenous administration contrast media might be overstated, in patients with impaired function remains a concern. Purpose To investigate whether during CT is associated higher AKI and further hemodialysis compared undergoing unenhanced CT. Materials Methods This retrospective study evaluated who underwent contrast-enhanced or five Taiwanese emergency departments between 2009 2016. The outcomes were within 48-72...
Background Diabetes mellitus may be associated with an increased likelihood of CT contrast material–induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI), but this has not been studied in a large sample and without dysfunction. Purpose To investigate whether diabetic status estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) are the (AKI) following material administration. Materials Methods This retrospective multicenter study included patients from two academic medical centers three regional hospitals who underwent...
Early diagnosis and treatment of patients with sepsis reduce mortality significantly. In terms exploring new diagnostic tools sepsis, monocyte distribution width (MDW), as part the white blood cell (WBC) differential count, was first reported in 2017. MDW greater than 20 abnormal WBC count together provided a satisfactory accuracy proposed novel tool sepsis. This study aimed to compare procalcitonin (PCT)'s on emergency department.This single-center prospective cohort study. Laboratory...
Background Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) less often receive β-blockers after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). This may influence their outcomes AMI. study evaluated the efficacy of AMI in patients COPD, compared non-dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers (NDCCBs) and absence these two kinds treatment. Methods results We conducted a nationwide population-based cohort using data retrieved from Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database. collected 28,097...
Acute myocardial infarction is a major cause of hospitalization and death in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD); however, temporal trends the management clinical outcomes these remain unclear.We conducted an observational study by using representative sample 1 million beneficiaries from Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database. Comorbidities, in-hospital treatment, were compared for acute without COPD between 2004 2013. Temporal treatment analyzed. We...
Abstract Objective To provide better preconceptional and prenatal counselling to patients with sjögren syndrome (SS). Methods In total, 2 100 143 pregnancies between 2004 2014 were identified in the Taiwan National Health Insurance database birth registry. The maternal history of SS was ascertained, data compared pregnant women without SS. We assessed odds ratios 95% CIs fetal–neonatal outcomes. Results There 449 099 694 risks still [odds ratio (OR) = 2.14, CI 1.01, 4.55], low weight...
Abstract Background The seasonal influenza epidemic is an important public health issue worldwide. Early predictive identification of patients with potentially worse outcome in the emergency department (ED). Similarly as bacterial infection, can cause sepsis. This study was conducted to investigate effectiveness Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (SIRS) criteria and quick Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (qSOFA) score prognostic predictors for ED influenza. Methods single-center,...
Intoxicated patients were frequently managed in the emergency departments (ED) with few studies at national level. The study aimed to reveal incidence, outcomes of intoxications and trend Taiwan.Adults admitted an ED due intoxication event between 2006 2013 identified using Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database. rate severe events, mortality rate, hospital length stay (LOS), daily medical costs these analyzed. Changes over time analyzed Joinpoint models. Multivariable...

Cardiovascular (CV) disease contributes to nearly half of the mortalities in patients with end-stage renal disease. Patients who received prehemodialysis arteriovenous access (pre-HD AVA) creation had divergent CV outcomes.We conducted a population-based cohort study by recruiting incident receiving HD from 2001 2012 Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database. Patients' characteristics, comorbidities, and medicines were analyzed. The primary outcome interest was major adverse...
Abstract Background The annual seasonal influenza pandemic is an important public health issue around the world. Early prediction of patients with potentially worse outcome in emergency department (ED). However, a simple and accurate predictor yet to be developed. In this study, we aimed investigate effectiveness quick Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (qSOFA) score as prognostic ED. Methods This single-center, retrospective cohort study. All data were retrieved from hospital-based...
