As aging progresses, clinical characteristics of elderly patients in the emergency department (ED) vary by age. We aimed to study differences among ED age group.For 2 years, aged 65 and older were enrolled classified into three groups: youngest-old, ages 74 years; middle-old, 75 84 oldest-old, ≥85 years. Participants' sex, reason for visit, transfer from another hospital, results treatment, type admission, admission length stay recorded.During period, a total 64,287 visited ED; 11,236...
Despite increased survival in patients with cardiac arrest, it remains difficult to determine patient prognosis at the early stage. This study evaluated of arrest using brain injury, inflammation, cardiovascular ischemic events, and coagulation/fibrinolysis markers collected 24, 48, 72 hours after return spontaneous circulation (ROSC).From January 2011 December 2016, we retrospectively observed who underwent therapeutic hypothermia. Blood samples were immediately ROSC. Neuron-specific...
Outcome prediction is crucial for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) survivors. Several attempts have been made to use the bispectral index (BIS) this purpose. We aimed investigate prognostic power of BIS during early stage targeted temperature management (TTM) after OHCA.From Jan 2014 Feb 2017, was determined in OHCA patients as soon possible start TTM. injected a neuro-muscular blocking agent and recoded value time when electromyographic (EMG) factor reached zero. The primary outcome...
Methyl p‑hydroxycinnamate (MH), an esterified derivative of p‑Coumaric acid exerts anti‑inflammatory effects on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)‑stimulated RAW264.7 macrophages. Based these effects, the present study investigated protective role MH in a mouse model LPS‑induced acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The results demonstrated that administration LPS (5 mg/kg intranasally) markedly increased neutrophil/macrophage numbers and levels inflammatory molecules (TNF‑α, IL‑6, IL‑1β...
The gray-to-white matter ratio (GWR) has been used to identify brain damage in comatose patients after cardiac arrest. However, Hounsfield units (HUs), the measurement of density on computed tomography (CT) images, may vary depending machine type or parameter. Therefore, differences CT scanners affect GWR post-cardiac arrest patients. We performed a retrospective study who visited hospital from 2007 2017. Two CT, Lightspeed and SOMATOM, were used. observers independently measured HUs caudate...
Conflicting results regarding sex-based differences in the outcomes of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients have been reported. We aimed to evaluate association between sex and neurological outcome as well various in-hospital process OHCA treated with targeted temperature management. retrospectively analyzed a prospective registry data collected October 2015 December 2018. To effect on patient outcomes, we created multivariable logistic regression models. When were adjusted using...
After the concept of social quality has been established, many studies have emerged to measure quality.However, looking at these studies, discussions about measurement factors and indicators focused on European nations.Despite importance in Korea, research limited.This study is an exploratory qualitative level Korean society earnest.In order society, defined components constituting are newly established accordance with reality Asian country, then try assess focusing various indicators.In...
Background: Prediabetes is well known to have a substantially greater cardiovascular risk as result of insulin resistance, dysglycemia, dyslipidemia, hypertension, endothelial dysfunction or inflammation shown in diabetes mellitus. Previous studies demonstrated impaired glucose tolerance and/or fasting are strong predictors adverse outcome acute coronary syndrome. However, the prognostic value glycemic controlled level, determined by glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), prediabetic patients with...
The occurrence of a critical event during urinary tract infection (UTI) can have significant impact on mortality. This study aimed to investigate the association between skeletal muscle index (SMI) and events in patients with UTI. From April 2019 March 2022, total 478 who met diagnostic criteria UTI underwent an abdominal CT were included this study. Multivariate binary logistic regression analysis was used assess independent predictors events. primary outcome any event, defined as...
Abstract Background: Conflicting results regarding sex-based differences in the outcomes of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients have been reported. Furthermore, no study has examined whether in-hospital interventions and courses are driven by sex. This evaluated effect sex on course as well survival rates long-term neurological OHCA treated with targeted temperature management. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed Korean Hypothermia Network Prospective Registry composed data...
