To evaluate the predictive and prognostic significance of nutritional index (PNI) in a large cohort gastric cancer patients who underwent gastrectomy. Assessing patient's immune status, PNI has been reported as marker for surgical outcomes various types cancer. We retrospectively reviewed data from prospectively maintained database 7781 gastrectomy January 2001 to December 2010 at single center. From this data, we analyzed clinicopathologic characteristics, PNI, short- long-term each...
Background Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is one of the most common musculoskeletal disorders, and thus effective treatments are required. Recently, a real horseback riding has been reported to be beneficial for patients. However, it some limitations, such as limited approaches safety issues. Objective The purpose this study was investigate effect horse simulator on pain, body composition trunk strength in patients with CLBP. Participants Forty-seven men CLBP (mean age 20.55 ± 1.38 years) were...
Abstract Background Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is a well‐established program for improving exercise capacity, quality of life, and long‐term outcomes in patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD). Despite its proven benefits, CR participation rates remain low many countries. Identifying the barriers to crucial developing effective strategies enhance patient engagement these programs. Objective To analyze among CVD. cardiac Design A nationwide cohort study using data from Korean National...
Falls after orthopaedic surgery can cause serious injuries, which lengthen hospital stays and increase medical expenses. This has prompted hospitals to implement various fall-prevention protocols. The aims of this study were determine the incidence in-hospital falls spine surgery, analyze overall risk factors, discern factors that have a major influence on falls, evaluate effectiveness protocol we implemented.
Detailed incidence data for cataract surgery in the general population are limited, yet important determining surgical needs of community and formulation healthcare policies.To report rates South Korea.Nationwide, retrospective population-based study.This study involved entire Korea (n = 47 990 761); 2 236 107 eyes 1 591 176 patients confirmed as having from January 2011 to 31 December 2015 were included.Data all who underwent primary retrieved using Korean Electronic Data Interchange...
The biomechanical interaction between the leg stump and prosthetic socket is critical in achieving close-to-normal ambulation. Although many investigations have been performed to understand biomechanics of trans-tibial sockets, few studies measured interface pressure for trans-femoral amputees. Furthermore, no report has examined how residual muscle activities affect characteristics during gait. In this study, an experimental method was developed measure pressures EMG muscles stumps two...
Aims: Recurrence after cancer surgery is a major concern in patients with cancer.Growing evidence from preclinical studies has revealed that various anesthetics can influence the immune system different ways.The current study compared long-term biochemical recurrence of prostate robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP) terms selection anesthetic agent between total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) propofol/remifentanil and volatile (VA) sevoflurane or desflurane/remifentanil....
Purpose: Critical care medicine continues to evolve.However, critical cases require increasing amount of medical resources.Intensive unit (ICU) mortality significantly impacts the overall efficiency healthcare resources within a system limited resources.This study investigated factors related ICU using long-term nationwide cohort data in South Korea. Materials and Methods:This retrospective used 14905721 patients who submitted reimbursement claims Korean Health Insurance Service between...
Abstract Background Many studies have evaluated stroke using claims data; most of these defined ischemic an operational definition following the rule-based method. Rule-based methods tend to overestimate number patients with stroke. Objectives We aimed identify appropriate algorithm for identifying by applying machine learning (ML) techniques analyze data. Methods obtained data from Korean National Health Insurance Service database, which is linked Ilsan Hospital database ( n = 30,897). The...
Non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOACs) has been the drug of choice for preventing ischemic stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) since 2014. Many studies based on claim data revealed that NOACs had comparable effect to warfarin fewer hemorrhagic side effects. We analyzed difference clinical outcomes according drugs AF warehouse (CDW).We extracted from our hospital's CDW and obtained information including test results. All were National Health Insurance Service,...
Determining the cost structure of medical care from diagnosis to death patients with cancer is crucial for establishing budgets support cancer. The breakdown estimation in distinct phases survival essential optimizing allocation limited funds. Therefore, this study aims examine patterns direct costs associated seven major types and estimate thresholds distinguish each phase based on incurred cost.
Purpose:We sought to predict the future incidence and health expenditures of cataract surgery in Republic Korea.Methods: From 2011 2015, National Health Insurance claims data were used estimate prevalence changes according demographic characteristics (year, sex, residence, age).Based on above results population distribution, we estimated by 2030.Considering cost from also predicted for surgery.Results: A total 2,236,107 eyes 1,591,176 patients underwent 2015.The number operated per year...
In this study, a minimally invasive assessment using bone strain generated potential (SGP) was developed to examine the amount of osseointegration (OI) at bone-implant interface. SGP is by interstitial fluid flow in porous structure. Four experimental white New Zealand rabbits underwent pure titanium implant insertion surgery tibia after amputation. After surgery, two animals were kept small cages with minimal movement (Group 1). contrast, other large cage that enough for jumping and walking...
The usage of dexmedetomidine during cancer surgery in current clinical practice is debatable, largely owing to the differing reports its efficacy based on type. This study aimed investigate effects biochemical recurrence (BCR) and radiographic progression patients with prostate cancer, who have undergone robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP). Using follow-up data from two prospective randomized controlled studies, BCR were compared between individuals received (n = 58)...
