The number of people with heart failure (HF) is increasing worldwide, and the social burden as HF has high mortality morbidity. We aimed to provide updated trends on epidemiology in Korea shape future measures against HF.
Background and Objectives: Heart failure (HF) is a disease with high morbidity mortality.With ageing society increasing prevalence of risk factors HF, the HF expected to increase, as well.In this official report Korean Society Failure epidemiology in Korea presented.Methods: The data National Health Insurance big data, (KorHF) Acute (KorAHF) registries have been used.Results: In 2018, prevalence, incidence, mortality patients, due were 2,261, 579, 245, 10.4 per 100.000persons,...
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a hepatic manifestation of metabolic and independently affects the development cardiovascular (CV) disease. We investigated whether steatosis and/or fibrosis are associated with incident heart failure (iHF), hospitalized HF (hHF), mortality, CV death in both general population patients.We analyzed 778,739 individuals without 7445 patients pre-existing aged 40 to 80 years who underwent national health check-up from January 2009 December 2012.

Early-onset dementia (EOD, onset age < 65) and late-onset (LOD, ≥ exhibit distinct features. Understanding the risk factors for development mortality in EOD LOD respectively is crucial personalized care. While are known mortality, their impact on remains unclear. We aimed to investigate how hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, atrial fibrillation, osteoporosis influence of LOD, respectively. Using Korean National Health Insurance Service (NHIS) database, we collected 546,709...

For each algorithm, compared case identification results from electronic...
Choosing effective devices (inhaled corticosteroid [ICS]-long-acting β2 agonist [LABA] combination inhalers) as maintenance treatment is critical for managing patients with asthma. We aimed to compare ICS/LABA efficacy, safety, and adherence across inhaler types components in newly diagnosed Utilizing South Korea's National Health Insurance Service data, we conducted a population-based cohort study involving aged 18–80 years, asthma who received therapy between January 2016 December 2020....
Introduction: We explored the long-term evolution of direct healthcare costs for inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) using a population-level database in country with an escalating burden IBD.Methods: searched Korean National Health Insurance Claims, which covers more than 97% South population. An IBD diagnosis was defined as combination billing code Crohn's disease (CD: K50.xx) or ulcerative colitis (UC: K51.xx) and at least one claim IBD-specific drugs. Between 2006 2015, total 59,447...

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a well-known risk factor for cardiovascular (CV) (CVD) and mortality. However, whether the progression or regression of NAFLD can increase decrease heart failure (HF) mortality has not been fully evaluated. We investigated association between changes in hepatic steatosis risks incident HF (iHF), hospitalization (hHF), including CV- liver-related mortality.Using database from National Health Insurance Service Korea January 2009 to December 2012, we...
Abstract The association of bipolar disorder (BD) with the risk cardiometabolic diseases and premature death in Asians needs to be further determined. Relatively less attention has been paid heart failure (HF) among outcomes. We analyzed Korean National Health Insurance Service database (2002–2018) for this population-based, matched cohort study. hazards ischemic stroke, disease (IHD), hospitalization HF (hHF), composite diseases, all-cause mortality during follow-up were compared between...
Abstract Objective Thiazides are the first‐line treatment for hypertension, however, they have been associated with hospitalizations thiazide‐associated hyponatremia (TAH). The aim of this study was to evaluate risk TAH and other drug‐associated in a Korean population. Methods used big data from National Health Insurance Sharing Service 1,943,345 adults treated hypertension January 2014 December 2016. participants were divided into two groups based on use thiazides. Cox proportional hazard...
Abstract Background The impact of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) on cardiovascular and obstetrical outcomes in pregnant women remains unclear, particularly Asian populations. This study aimed to evaluate the maternal Korean with HCM. Methods Using data from National Health Insurance Service database, we identified who gave birth via cesarean section or vaginal delivery after being diagnosed HCM between 2006 2019. Maternal were assessed based trimester pregnancy. Results included 122 158...
Acromegaly is a rare, slowly progressive disease. Its mechanism not fully understood, and epidemiological research on Korean patients with acromegaly scarce. The purpose of this study was to determine the incidence prevalence assess comorbidities survival benefits based treatment options.This nationwide population-based cohort conducted using data Health Insurance Review Assessment claims database evaluate newly diagnosed cases during 2013-2017.During 5-year period, 1,093 were acromegaly....
OBJECTIVE We investigated the long-term clinical efficacy of fenofibrate use with regard to mortality and cardiovascular outcomes in patients type 2 diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS performed a population-based cohort study using data South Korean National Health Insurance Service from 2003 2014. Of 63,727 participants diabetes aged 40–79 years, 5,057 users only were compared nonusers and/or omega-3 fatty acid 1:1 propensity matching. The primary end point was composite myocardial...
The aim was to evaluate whether this gastric cancer-screening programme effective in reducing oesophageal cancer mortality.A population-based retrospective cohort study conducted using the Korean National Cancer Screening Programme (NCSP) database. comprised 16,969 patients who had been diagnosed 2007-2014. We analysed association between history of NSCP for and mortality.Compared with never-screened subjects, ever-screened subjects an overall HR mortality 0.647 (95% CI, 0.617-0.679)....
Abstract The association between ulcerative colitis (UC) and uterine cervical cancer is still unclear. To investigate risk in South Korean women with UC, we analyzed the National Health Insurance claims data. UC was defined using both ICD-10 codes UC-specific prescriptions.
