This study aimed to investigate whether the prevalence of postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is even higher early stages COPD than such normal function and verify usefulness symptom- or quality life (QoL)-based scores predicting risk for PPCs.Patients undergoing resection NSCLC between July 2012 October 2014 were prospectively enrolled. Preoperative measurements function, dyspnea, QoL, operative characteristics, PPCs, duration...
Bacterial superinfection is not uncommon in critically ill patients with coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pneumonia requiring intensive care unit (ICU) treatment. However, there still a lack of evidence related to bacterial and their clinical significance COVID-19. Therefore, we assessed the incidence superinfections effects on outcomes COVID-19.This single-center retrospective cohort study analyzed COVID-19 admitted ICU at tertiary academic hospital between February 2020 December 2021. We...
The prevalence of obesity is increasing in the intensive care unit (ICU). Although a known risk factor for chronic kidney disease, its association with early sepsis-associated acute injury (SA-AKI) and their combined patient outcomes warrant further investigation.
The Xpert MTB/RIF assay was introduced for timely and accurate detection of tuberculosis (TB). aim this study to determine the diagnostic accuracy turnaround time (TAT) in clinical practice South Korea. We retrospectively reviewed medical records patients whom using sputum were requested. sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV) negative (NPV) diagnosis pulmonary (PTB) rifampicin resistance calculated. In addition, TAT compared with those other tests. Total 681 requested...
The proportion of never-smokers with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is increasing, but that in Korea has not been well addressed a large population. We aimed to evaluate the and clinical features NSCLC single institution. analyzed data 1860 consecutive patients who were newly diagnosed between June 2011 December 2014. Of patients, 707 (38.0%) never-smokers. proportions women (83.7% vs. 5.6%) adenocarcinoma (89.8% 44.9%) higher among than ever-smokers. Significantly more at younger median...
Background: Patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD) have a high incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) after resection, but there is little data about these in ILD other types surgery. Objectives: The aim this study was to examine the characteristics and predictors PPCs major surgery patients ILD. Methods: We included 336 who underwent between January 2005 December 2010 at two tertiary hospitals Korea. All that had been performed under general anesthesia were...
All-cause mortality risk and causes of death in bronchiectasis patients have not been fully investigated. The aim this study was to compare the between individuals with those without bronchiectasis.Patients or determined based on chest computed tomography (CT) at one centre 2005 2016 were enrolled. Among bronchiectasis, a control group selected after applying additional exclusion criteria. We compared groups lung disease. Subgroup analyses also performed according identification Pseudomonas...
Patients with distinctive morphotype were more susceptible to nontuberculous mycobacterial lung disease (NTM-LD). However, little is known about the association between body and progression of NTM-LD. The aim this study was elucidate predictors NTM-LD progression, focusing on composition.Data from patients who participated in NTM cohort which started 1 July 2011 analyzed. than 6 months follow up included for analysis. defined as clinician-initiated anti-NTM treatment, based symptomatic...
OBJECTIVES: Frailty is a multidimensional syndrome or state of increased vulnerability to poor resolution homoeostasis following stressor event. common in patients with sepsis. Sepsis and frailty are both associated older age chronic medical conditions. However, there limited evidence about the direct association between The aim this study determine preexisting clinical outcomes DESIGN: A nationwide propensity score–matched cohort analyzing data prospectively collected September 2019...
Smoking has been considered an important risk factor for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) incidence. However, there are no population-based large-scale studies demonstrating the effects of smoking on development IPF. We aimed to evaluate effect IPF using a nationwide cohort.Using Korean National Health Information Database, we enrolled individuals who had participated in health check-up service between 2009 and 2012. Participants having prior diagnosis were excluded. The history status...
The appropriate strategy for enteral feeding remains a matter of debate. We hypothesized that continuous would result in higher rates achieving target nutrition during the first 7 days compared with intermittent feeding. conducted an unblinded, single-center, parallel-group, randomized controlled trial involving adult patients admitted to medical intensive care unit who required mechanical ventilation determine efficacy and safety critically ill primary endpoint was achievement ≥80%...
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) remains a life-threatening disease. Many patients with ARDS do not recover fully, and progress to terminal lung fibrosis. Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor is known modulate the neurohormonal system reduce inflammation prevent tissue However, role of ACE in lungs well understood. We therefore conducted this study elucidate effect renin-angiotensin (RAS) blockage on prognosis ARDS.We analyzed medical records who were admitted intensive...
This study explores the applicability of gas hydrate technology as an innovative approach to fire suppression, focusing on novel use HFC-125a a superior retardant for class B liquid fires. Two sequential steps were performed, involving formation and pelletization with emphasis significance subcooling kinetics. We achieved 15% conversion in 9 min 70% within 19 pelletization. Raman spectra revealed encapsulation large 51264 cages. Flame suppression tests, conducted small pool (lab-scale)...
Cigarette smoking is one of the major causes lung cancer. However, correlation between status and survival patients with cancer uncertain. The present study aimed to evaluate impact on mortality non-small cell (NSCLC).The medical records 313 newly diagnosed NSCLC January 2005 2006 were reviewed. Eligible divided into ever-smokers (221 patients) never-smokers (92 patients), overall clinical characteristics two groups compared. Predictors analyzed using Cox's proportional hazards regression.In...
Abstract Background Improvement in health-related quality of life (HRQL) has been suggested as an alternative treatment goal non-tuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary disease (NTM-PD). This study was performed to elucidate the longitudinal changes HRQL using St. George’s Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) among patients with NTM-PD according their clinical course. Methods Patients who participated Seoul National University Hospital’s prospective NTM cohort were screened. Participants for whom...
This study revealed that patients with IPF have a higher cancer incidence risk than matched controls without IPF. Physicians should be aware of this when treating
Objectives: Prone position ventilation improves oxygenation and reduces the mortality of patients with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome. However, there is limited evidence about which would gain most survival benefit from prone positioning. Herein, we investigated whether improvement in after positioning associated aimed to identify who will Design: A retrospective cohort study. Setting: Medical ICU at a tertiary academic hospital between 2014 2020. Patients: Adult receiving for...
