Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), a hepatic manifestation of the metabolic syndrome, was associated with subclinical atherosclerosis in many cross-sectional studies, but prospective association between NAFLD and progression has not been evaluated. This study conducted to evaluate coronary atherosclerosis.This retrospective cohort included 4731 adult men women no history cardiovascular (CVD), or cancer at baseline who participated repeated regular health screening examination 2004...
Abstract This study aimed to investigate the association of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and its severity with decline in kidney function patients chronic (CKD). We conducted a cohort 1,525 CKD who underwent repeated health check-up examinations from January 2003 through December 2013. NAFLD was diagnosed by ultrasonography assessed fibrosis score. At baseline, prevalence 40.9%, mean estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) 59.1 ml/min/1.73 m 2 . The average follow-up 6.5...
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is associated with colorectal neoplasia. Yet, NAFLD ranges from simple steatosis to steatohepatitis advanced fibrosis.To investigate the risk of neoplasia according presence and severity NAFLD.A total 26 540 asymptomatic adults who underwent same day first-time colonoscopy abdominal ultrasonography as a health check-up programme were analysed. was diagnosed by ultrasonography. Advanced defined an invasive cancer or adenoma that at least 10 mm in...
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is often accompanied by multiple comorbidities, which are associated with an increased risk of exacerbation, a poor health-related quality life, and high mortality. However, differences in comorbidity profile race ethnicity COPD patients have not been fully elucidated.Participants aged 40 to 79 years spirometry-defined from the U.S. National Health Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) (2007-2012) Korea NHANES (2007-2015) were analyzed compare...
Purpose To compare two contrast material-administration protocols (dilution vs slow injection) in terms of their effectiveness arterial phase artifact reduction at gadoxetic acid-enhanced magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. Materials and Methods This HIPAA-compliant retrospective case-controlled cohort study was approved by the institutional review board, with a waiver informed patient consent. A total 318 consecutive patients undergoing MR imaging were placed into one subcohorts 159 each:...
The development of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) in middle-aged working groups can be a major contributor to disability-adjusted life years. However, information regarding the current trends influenza vaccination within this demographic group remains scarce. Thus, we aimed investigate recent 11-year and related factors among these populations Korea. Of 42,879 individuals aged 40-64 years enrolled Korea National Health Nutrition Examination Survey between 2010 2021, 35,323...
Background: Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) is effective for tissue diagnosis of pancreatic mass. To improve diagnostic yield and drawbacks, 22-gauge (G) core biopsy (FNB) needle has been developed. This study aims to compare 22G FNA FNB needles EUS-guided sampling suspected cancer.Methods: a randomized controlled crossover trial. A total 60 patients with unresectable cancer referred were randomly assigned two groups. Both groups had performed in order. The...
Purpose To evaluate the prevalence of tumefactive sludge gallbladder detected at ultrasonography (US) and to assess whether any clinical imaging differences exist between benign malignant sludge. Materials Methods The institutional review board approved this retrospective study. requirement for informed consent was waived. study included a cohort (n = 6898) patients with drawn from all adults 115 178) who underwent abdominal US March 2001 2015. Tumefactive identified according following...
To determine the factors influencing degree of detectability lesions and diffusion background signals on magnetic resonance diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in invasive breast cancer. Institutional review board approval was obtained patient consent waived. Patients with newly diagnosed ductal carcinoma, who underwent preoperative DWI were included this study (n = 167). Lesion contrast-enhanced subtracted T1-weighted images, parenchymal enhancement (BPE), signal qualitatively rated....
Abstract Background and Aim Non‐alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), a hepatic manifestation of the metabolic syndrome, is associated with gastroesophageal reflux in cross‐sectional studies, but prospective association has not been evaluated. The current study aimed to determine whether NAFLD increases risk incident esophagitis large cohort study. Methods We conducted 34 063 men women without or other upper gastrointestinal at baseline who underwent health checkup examinations between...
Background Subjects with diabetes are at higher risk of serious influenza-related complications. We aimed to investigate the yearly trend influenza vaccination and factors associated being unvaccinated for in subjects using a nationwide observational study performed within recent decade. Methods Among 105,732 from Korea National Health Nutrition Examination Survey between 2007 2019, 8,632 were included. investigated influenza. Results During period, prevalence showed tendency increase every...
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is associated with cardiovascular disease, yet whether identification of NAFLD in asymptomatic individuals helpful over established risk factors remains unknown. A total 37,799 adults aged 20 years or older who underwent comprehensive health check-up examination, including abdominal and carotid artery duplex ultrasonography (US) were included the analysis. was diagnosed US exclusion secondary causes fat accumulation other chronic graded as mild...
Although poor oral health is a common comorbidity in individuals with airflow limitation (AFL), few studies have comprehensively evaluated this association. Furthermore, the association between and severity of AFL has not been well elucidated.Using population-based nationwide survey, we classified according to presence or absence defined as pre-bronchodilator forced expiratory volume 1 second/forced vital capacity < 0.7. Using multivariable logistic regression analyses, number remaining...
Recent studies have suggested that low forced vital capacity (FVC) is related to respiratory symptoms with various comorbid conditions eventually lead physical inactivity and may be applied subjects airflow obstruction (AO). Therefore, this study aimed evaluate the association between FVC behavior restrictions in AO.A cross-sectional was performed using data from Korea National Health Nutrition Survey conducted 2007 2015. Participants aged 40 79 years spirometry-defined AO...
Although the association between tuberculosis (TB) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) has been reported in several studies is explained by mechanisms related to chronic inflammation, few have comprehensively evaluated TB CVD Korea.
Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is associated with cerebrovascular disease, which can lead to life-threatening outcomes. The purpose of the study was investigate relationship between OSAS and comorbid intracranial aneurysms. We retrospectively reviewed 564 patients who underwent a polysomnography brain magnetic resonance angiography as part their health checkup. calculated prevalence an aneurysm in measured size if present. mean patient age 55.6 ± 8.5 years, 82.3% them were men....
Influenza vaccination reduces cardiovascular events in patients with disease (CVD). Identifying the factors that affect influenza uptake can help improve prognosis CVD. This study aimed to evaluate secular trends of and associated lack individuals We analyzed annual among 3,264 CVD, included from Korea National Health Nutrition Examination Survey which reflect health nutritional status nationwide population conducted between 2007/2008 2018/2019. used a stratified, multistage sampling method....
Abstract Background Although the association between tuberculosis (TB) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) has been reported in several studies is explained by mechanisms related to chronic inflammation, few have comprehensively evaluated TB CVD Korea. Methods Using a population-based nationwide survey, we categorized participants into two groups according presence or absence of prior infection. We 10-year atherosclerotic disorder (ASCVD) risk both analyzed ASCVD epidemiological...
