Many countries have authorized the emergency use of oral antiviral agents for patients with mild-to-moderate cases coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). We assessed cost-effectiveness these reducing number severe COVID-19 and burden on Korea's medical system.Using an existing model, we estimated people who would require hospital/intensive care unit (ICU) admission in Korea 2022. The treatment scenarios included (1) all adult patients, (2) elderly only, (3) underlying diseases compared to...
We analyzed the publication and submission statuses of Korean medical journals from 2010 to 2024, amidst challenges impacting researchers. Data 58 domestic identified through 2023 JCR database were used assess status, while data
BACKGROUND: Vaccines against coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) are raising concerns about vaccine safety, particularly in the context of large-scale immunization. To address public concerns, we measured baseline incidence rates major conditions potentially related to vaccine-related adverse events (VAEs). We aimed provide a basis for evaluating VAEs and verifying causality. METHODS: Conditions interest were selected from US Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System Table Reportable Events...
We used the nationwide claims database to calculate incidence of thrombotic events and predict their overall 2-week incidence. From 2006 2020, deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism (PE), disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) tended increase. Unlike intracranial venous (ICVT) thrombophlebitis (ICTP), which showed no age difference, other embolism, (OVET), DIC, DVT, PE were significantly more common in over 65 years. The ICVT was 0.21/1,000,000 (95% confidence interval [CI],...
Despite the proven effectiveness of oral antivirals against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 in randomized trials, their clinical reevaluation is vital context widespread immunity and milder prevalent variants. This study aimed to assess for disease 2019 (COVID-19).
Surveillance remains an important tool for timely outbreak detection and response. Many countries, including Korea, have established national infectious disease surveillance systems with clinical notification. We aimed to evaluate the National Health Insurance Claims-based (NHICS) compared conventional passive report-based Infectious Diseases (NIDS). Reported claimed cases ratios (R/C ratio) were evaluated from monthly notifiable captured by NIDS NHICS. The relationships between 26 diseases...
Since March 2020, when coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) was declared a pandemic, many countries have applied unprecedented restrictive measures to contain the spread of virus. This study aimed explore optimal social distancing policy for COVID-19 control in South Korea safely reopen society.We developed an age-specific, deterministic compartment epidemic model examine decision-making process, including epidemiology severe acute respiratory syndrome 2 (SARS-CoV-2) between 1 July 2021 and...
Although obesity is a risk factor for infection, whether it has the same effect on coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) need confirming. We conducted retrospective propensity score matched case-control study to examine association between and COVID-19. This included data from Nationwide COVID-19 Registry Biennial Health Checkup database, until May 30, 2020. identified 2,231 patients with confirmed 10-fold-matched negative test controls. Overweight (body mass index [BMI] 23 24.9 kg/m2;...
Objective To determine the association of meteorological factors and air pollutants (MFAPs) with fracture to estimate effect size/time lag. Design This is a nationwide population-based ecological study from 2008 2017. Setting Eight large metropolitan areas in Korea. Participants Of 8 093 820 patients fractures reported Korea National Health Insurance database, 2 129 955 were analysed after data set containing patient (age, sex site fractures) merged MFAPs. Data on obtained Climate Center...
Abstract Objectives It is essential to measure and monitor the burden of dental caries periodontal disease (PD) in Korea's ageing population due their potential impact on morbidity, quality life economic condition. This study aimed quantify size PD using disability‐adjusted years (DALYs), trends. Methods DALYs were estimated incidence‐based approaches calculate from 2013 2015 Korea. Incidence prevalence medical claim data by specific algorithms. Additionally, sensitivity analysis was...
To contain the surge of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), South Korean government has implemented non-pharmacological interventions as well border restrictions. The efficacy entry restrictions should be evaluated to facilitate their preparation for new variants SARS-CoV-2. This study explored impact policy changes on overseas entrants and local cases SARS-CoV-2 variants. Data from Korea Disease Control Prevention Agency randomly collected between April 11, 2021...
Background: Reducing the gaps in health inequality at a regional level and improving equity have been emphasized Korea, it is essential to accurately measure burden of disease by region.This study aimed estimate years life lost (YLLs) 17 Si Do Korea from 1997 2015 determine trends differences status structure.Methods: YLL was calculated subtracting age death expectancy.Data on region, gender, age-stratified cause-specific were obtained Korean Statistical Information Service Statistics...
While measuring and monitoring disease morbidity, it is essential to focus on regions experiencing inequitable health outcomes, especially coastal populations. However, no research investigating population outcomes in areas has been conducted. Therefore, we aimed investigate the burden of morbidity South Korea. Using an administrative division map ArcGIS, identified included 496 districts. In this observational study, years lived with disability (YLDs) were estimated using incidence-based...
Abstract Background With the prompt administration of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines, highly vaccinated countries have begun to lift their stringent control measures. However, considering spread transmissible new variants, resuming socio-economic activities may lead resurgence incidence, particularly in nations with a low proportion individuals who natural immunity. Here, we aimed quantitatively assess an optimal COVID-19 exit strategy Republic Korea, where only small number...
In South Korea, people may increase their medical coverage by purchasing private health insurance to augment low provided the National Health Insurance (NHI). Frequent and excessive use of care those with is an issue, especially for musculoskeletal disorders that require contribute moral hazard. since structurally linked scope public insurance, this increased adversely affect finances. This study aimed analyze effects on patients disorders. We used Korea Panel 2014 2015 data included 5622...
Owing to limited experience with the new vaccine platforms, discussion of safety is inevitable. However, media coverage adverse events special interest could influence vaccination rate; thus, evaluating outcomes influencing administration crucial.We conducted regression discontinuity in time analysis calculate local average treatment effect (LATE) using datasets from Our World Data and Johns Hopkins University Center for Systems Science Engineering. For United States, Kingdom, Europe, cutoff...
The coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic has brought significant changes to infectious management globally. This study explored in clinical microbiological testing trends and their implications for incidence medical utilization during the pandemic. We collected nationwide claims monthly microbiology tests from January 2018 March 2022 using National Health Insurance Service database. Seasonal autoregressive integrated moving average models were employed make predictions each based on baseline...
This study quantitatively analyzes the effects of employment patterns at time death elderly on utilization medical care before using cohort data from National Health Insurance Corporation, controlling mortality to obtain more accurate results. Gender was coded as 0 for males and 1 females, average monthly household income taken a logarithm approximate normal distribution. Care cost end life defined sum national health insurance contributions statutory self-contributions. To measure proximity...
