Although South Korea is a high-income country, its trauma system comparable to low- and middle-income countries with high preventable death rates of more than 30%. Since 2012, has established national based on the implementation regional centers improvement transfer system; this study aimed evaluate effectiveness. We compared rates, patterns, outcomes between 2015 2017. The review deaths was conducted by multiple panels, severity-adjusted logistic regression model created identify factors...
The long-term survival rate of gastric cancer patients after surgery has recently increased as a result making an early diagnosis cancer. Therefore, the incidence remnant is increasing. This study was performed to evaluate clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis with cancer.From January 2005 December 2009, twenty-nine who underwent at Pusan National University Hospital were enrolled in this study. We retrospectively reviewed analyzed their medical records. also divided them into...
The preventable trauma death rate survey is a basic tool for the quality management of treatment because it method that can intuitively evaluate level national treatment. We conducted this study as biennial follow-up project and report results review 2019 data in Korea.
Purpose: Additional surgery is commonly recommended in gastric cancer patients who have a high risk of lymph node metastasis or positive resection margin after endoscopic resection.We conducted this study to determine factors related residual and the appropriate treatment strategy.Materials Methods: A total 28 underwent curative gastrectomy due non-curative for early between January 2006 June 2009 were enrolled study.Their clinicopathological findings reviewed retrospectively analyzed...
Aortoenteric fistula is a rare but potentially fatal condition causing massive gastrointestinal bleeding. In particular, double primary aortoenteric fistulae are vanishingly rare. We encountered 75-year-old male patient suffering from abdominal pain, hematochezia, hematemesis, and hypotension. His computed tomography images showed aortic aneurysm suspected fistulae. During surgery, we found two The one was detected between the aorta third portion of duodenum, other sigmoid colon. conducted...
The reflux of pancreatic enzymes into the biliary tract is associated with chronic inflammation and increases cellular proliferation epithelium, leading to carcinoma. aim this study detect incidence occult pancreaticobiliary (OPBR) in patients who underwent elective cholecystectomy.Forty-seven symptomatic gallstones cholecystectomy were recruited for study. gallbladder bile samples obtained from specimen amylase level was measured. immunohistochemistry p53, SMAD4 Ki-67 performed detection...
AIM:To introduce a simple and safe anvil insertion technique to esophagus during laparoscopic total gastrectomy (LTG). METHODS:Between July 2010 December 2012, 58 consecutive patients with early gastric cancer underwent LTG were enrolled.We performed Roux-en-Y esophagojejunostomy using the double stapling all patients.Then patients' characteristics, perioperative outcome histopathologic data analyzed retrospectively. RESULTS:The mean age body mass index 59.3 ± 9.7 years 22.7 2.6 kg/m 2 .The...
Background: Current international guidelines recommend against deep sedation as it is associated with worse outcomes in the intensive care unit (ICU).However, Korea prevalence of and its impact on patients ICU are not well known.Methods: From April 2020 to July 2021, a multicenter, prospective, longitudinal, noninterventional cohort study was performed 20 Korean ICUs.Sedation depth extent divided into light using mean Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scale value within first 48 hours.Propensity...
Transarterial embolisation (TAE) is an effective intervention for management of arterial haemorrhage associated with pelvic fracture. However, its effects on survival and clinical outcomes are unclear.Trauma patients data between November 2015 December 2019 were identified using a trauma database. Patients divided TAE non-TAE groups, propensity score was developed multivariate logistic regression. Survival at 28 days compared the groups after matching.Among 881 included in this study, 308...
While transarterial embolization (TAE) is an effective way to control arterial bleeding associated with pelvic fracture, the clinical outcomes according door-to-embolization (DTE) time are unclear. This study investigated how DTE affects in patients severe fracture.Using a trauma database between November 1, 2015 and December 31, 2019, undergoing TAE were retrospectively reviewed. The final population included 192 treated TAE. relationships patients' evaluated. Multiple binomial logistic...
Purpose The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has necessitated a redistribution of resources to meet hospitals’ service needs. This study investigated the impact COVID-19 on regional trauma center in South Korea. Methods We retrospectively reviewed cases polytrauma at single Korea between January 20 and September 30, 2020 (the period) compared them reported during same time frame (January 30) 2016 pre-COVID-19 period). primary outcome was in-hospital mortality, secondary outcomes...
Splenic artery embolization (SAE) is commonly employed as a non-operative management technique for splenic injury. Nonetheless, information on follow-up duration and methods, the natural course of infarction after SAE limited. Thus, this study aimed to analyze patterns complications recovery determine appropriate method.Medical records 314 patients with blunt injury admitted at Pusan National University Hospital, Level I Trauma Centre were analyzed identify who underwent between January 2014...
We present a rare case of adult intussusception due to cecal lymphangioma. A 30-year-old female was admitted our hospital with abdominal pain and palpatable mass on the right lower quadrant. Preoperative radiologic studies by ultrasound computed tomography showed ileocolic multiseptated cystic tumor as leading point cecum. An ileocecectomy performed, postoperative course uneventful. Histopathology Although endoscopic polypectomy or mucosal resection is recommended for pedunculated...
Hemorrhage is the major cause of traumatic death and leading preventable death. Hyperfibrinolysis associated with trauma severity. Viscoelastic hemostatic assays show complete clot formation dynamics. The present study was designed to identify relationship between hyperfibrinolysis mortality, metabolic acidosis, coagulopathy in patients trauma.Patients severe (injury severity score [ISS] 15 or higher) who were assessed using rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM) included from January 2017...
