Importance In combination with a decreased risk of AIDS-defining cancers and improved survival people infected HIV, the burden non–AIDS-defining cancer has increased markedly. Although substantial number studies have measured among HIV in developed countries, little research been conducted on HIV-infected Asia. Objective To examine incidence estimated Korea compared general population. Design, Setting, Participants This retrospective cohort study evaluated patients without newly diagnosed...
Abstract Background Solid organ transplant recipients (SOTRs) are at higher risk for severe infection. However, the COVID-19 and vaccine effectiveness among SOTRs remain unclear. Methods This retrospective study used a nationwide health care claims database registry from Republic of Korea (2020 to 2022). Adult diagnosed with were matched up 4 non-SOTR patients by propensity score. Severe was defined as treatment high-flow nasal cannulae, mechanical ventilation, or extracorporeal membrane...
The mortality rate and causes of death among individuals diagnosed with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection in Korea were described compared to those the general population using a nationwide population-based claims database. We included 13,919 aged 20-79 years newly HIV between 2004 2018. patients' vital status cause linked until 31 December 2019. Standardized ratios (SMRs) for all-cause specific calculated. By end 2019, 1669 (12.0%) HIV-infected participants had died. survival...
Background This study evaluated the clinical characteristics of patients with COVID-19 in Korea, and examined relationship between severe cases underlying health conditions during Delta (September 20, 2021 to December 4, 2021) Omicron (February 2022 March 31, 2022) predominant period. Methods assessed association critical illness various risk factors, including a variety conditions, using multiple logistic regression models based on K-COV-N cohort, nationwide data confirmed linked...
Abstract Although the number of newly diagnosed cases HIV is decreasing worldwide, those in Korea have been steadily on rise, especially among adolescents (ages 10–19 years) and young adults 20–29 years). To identify characteristics new diagnosis these age groups, we analyzed testing sizes prevalence under national surveillance system last six years. We collected data tests conducted at Blood Banks (BB), Public Health Centers (PHCs), Military Manpower Administration (MMA) nationwide every...
We assessed human papillomavirus (HPV) genotype-based risk stratification and the efficacy of cytology testing for cervical cancer screening in patients with atypical squamous cells undetermined significance (ASCUS)/low-grade intraepithelial lesion (LSIL).
The risk of severe COVID-19 in children with a solid organ transplant (SOT) is not well established. We compare the relative infection between pediatric SOT and non-SOT children.The newly constructed K-COV-N cohort (Korea Disease Control Prevention Agency-COVID-19-National Health Insurance Service) was used. Children (<18 years old) who underwent January 2008 to 2022 were included. Non-SOT selected ratio 1:4 using propensity score matching. Three definitions established based on their...
Objectives: Since 2007, human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines have been administered for the prevention of cervical cancer in Korea.We investigated status HPV vaccination among HPV-infected adult women with abnormal cytology before introduction National Immunization Program.Methods: From 2010 to 2016, HPV-positive (age, 20-60 years) atypical squamous cells undetermined significance or low-grade intraepithelial lesion (LSIL) were enrolled from five hospitals across Korea.Their genotype,...
Objective: Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is the most important risk factor for cervical cancer, which progresses from precursor lesions with no symptom if left untreated.We compared of dysplasia among HPV-positive Korean women based on HPV types and patterns.Methods: We observed participants a 5-year multicenter prospective cohort study, comprising either atypical squamous cells undetermined significance or low-grade intraepithelial lesion cervix at their enrollment.Follow-ups,...
Abstract The beginning of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection treatment depends on various factors, which are significantly correlated with the initial CD4 cell number. However, a covariate correlation between these factors may not reflect correct outcome variable. Thus, we evaluated effects combination fixed (reduced dimensions), determine when to start for first time, short-term outcome, long-term and survival, considering correlations factors. Multiple correspondence analysis was...
Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is the main cause of cervical cancer and major viruses related to carcinogenesis in various malignant diseases such as cancer, vaginal vulvar anal head neck cancer. Cervical second most prevalent female world fourth Korea. Prophylactic HPV vaccines widespread use include used South Korea prevent are bivalent (2-valent vaccine; Cervarix), quadrivalent (4-valent Gardasil), nonavalent (9-valent Gardasil9). Since first approval 2006, 115 countries have their...
To evaluate human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine effectiveness in a cohort of Korean women infected with HPV.
Background: Solid organ transplant recipients (SOTRs) are susceptible to severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19); however, the risk in children with SOT has not been well established. Herein, we compared relative of COVID-19 infection between paediatric SOTRs and non-SOT children.Methods: This retrospective cohort study was performed newly constructed K-COV-N (Korea Disease Control Prevention Agency (KDCA)-COVID-19-National Health Insurance Service (NHIS)). Children (< 18 years age) who...
