Using a nationwide population-based cohort, we primarily investigated whether overall and site-specific cancer risks are increased in patients with acromegaly. The study included 2382 acromegaly 11 910 controls aged above 20, from 2006 to 2016. Cox hazards regression analysis was used, adjusting for baseline covariates. To investigate the association between risk, conducted proportional adjustments age, sex, hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, stratified by age (<50, 50-64, ≥65 years),...
Objective We attempted to compare the incidence of pyogenic spondylitis (PS) and tuberculous (TS) between 2007 2016. Furthermore, we investigated patients who underwent surgery in 2016 compared that 2007. Methods used a nationwide database managed by Korean National Health Insurance Service (NHIS) Total 9655 with newly diagnosis PS or TS were enrolled group. Among them, 1721 either fusion decompression surgery. analyzed demographic distribution according gender age year diagnosis. Results...
Objective: We conducted a study to compare sinonasal outcomes between the combined transseptal/transnasal approach with unilateral rescue flap and bilateral transnasal flaps.
The aim of this nationwide longitudinal cohort study is to determine the risk congestive heart failure (CHF) associated with a seropositive rheumatoid arthritis (RA) population in Korea.
Abstract INTRODUCTION Previous reports on cancer risk in patients with acromegaly have inconsistent findings. Using a nationwide population-based cohort, we primarily investigated whether overall and site-specific are increased acromegaly. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study included 2,382 11,910 controls aged above 20, from 2006 to 2016. Cox hazards regression analysis was used, adjusting for baseline covariates. RESULTS Among the acromegaly, occurred 244 (10.2%), while had 707 (5.9%)...
The minimally invasive percutaneous endoscopic discectomy (PED) was developed in the 20th century. Recently, interest surgery and number of PEDs has increased. incidence postoperative retroperitoneal hematoma following reported at 0.1 ~ 1%. We report a case spontaneous healing injury to lateral branch lumbar spinal artery after discectomy. A 58-year-old male underwent resection L4-5 disc via transforaminal approach. After 2 h, he complained rigid abdominal pain with hypotension. Abdominal...
A 57-year-old woman visited our hospital with left flank pain and anterior thigh calf radiation pain. lumbar spine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was showed that a heterogenous enhancing ventral epidural mass compressed the dura posteriorly at L3 level totally enhanced vertebral body. To reduce pain, laminectomy, facetectomy, partial tumor removal posterior pedicle screw fixation were performed. On examination, soft black-colored. After operation, histopathological assessment confirmed...
Objective: The purpose of this nationwide longitudinal follow-up study was to investigate the risk congestive heart failure (CHF) in pyogenic spondylitis (PS) patients Korea.Methods: A total 628 were enrolled PS group from January 1, 2004 December 31, 2015 National Health Insurance Service Screening cohort. identified using International Classification Disease, 10th revision codes M46.2–M46.8 and M49.2–M49.3. control consisted 3,140 subjects with 1:5 age- sex-stratified matching. 12-year CHF...
Purpose Immune responses for cancer cells can be altered according to genetic variation of human leukocyte antigen (HLA). Association HLA polymorphism with risk various types is well known. However, the association between and glioblastoma (GBM) remains uncertain. We sought evaluate GBM development in Koreans. Materials Methods A case-control study was performed identify odds ratios (OR) class I II genes GBM. The control group consisted 142 healthy Korean volunteers, 80 patients newly...
