The Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) was initiated in 1998 to provide evidence for the development evaluation of health policies programs. Disease Control Prevention Agency is responsible KNHANES has conducted it as a series surveys. Over past 20 years, efforts produce accurate, timely, nationwide statistics have been refined by establishing continuous annual survey system with full-time field staff, incrementally expanding components, collaborating relevant...
Background Prioritizing patients in need of intensive care is necessary to reduce the mortality rate during COVID-19 pandemic. Although several scoring methods have been introduced, many require laboratory or radiographic findings that are not always easily available. Objective The purpose this study was develop a machine learning model predicts for with using obtainable characteristics—baseline demographics, comorbidities, and symptoms. Methods A retrospective performed nationwide cohort...
Abstract Background Unavailability or saturation of the intensive care unit may be associated with fatality COVID-19. Prioritizing patients for hospitalization and critical reducing This study aimed to develop validate a new integer-based scoring system predicting COVID-19 requiring care, using only predictors available upon triage. Methods is retrospective cohort data from Korean Centers Disease Control Prevention that included all admitted between January 19 June 3, 2020, in South Korea....
This study aimed to determine an effective survey method for the accurate calculation of obesity prevalence by comparing self-reported and measured height, weight, body mass index (BMI) using 2018 Korea Community Healthy Survey (CHS) data.Raw data from CHS were used analyze differences, correlation, agreement between BMI.The height was over-reported than (0.59 cm greater men 0.71 women), while weight under-reported (0.55 kg less 0.67 women). Subsequently, BMI under-estimated (0.35 kg/m2...
This study compared interview and telephone surveys to select the better method for regularly estimating nationwide vaccination coverage rates in Korea.Interview using multi-stage cluster sampling stratified random were conducted.Nationwide estimated subjects with cards survey.The survey relative showed a higher response rate, lower missing validity less difference between card owners non-owners.Primary rate was greater than 90% except fourth dose of DTaP (diphtheria/ tetanus/pertussis),...
This study aimed to disseminate information on coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine safety among adolescents aged 12 17 years in the Republic of Korea.Two databases were used assess COVID-19 who completed primary Pfizer-BioNTech vaccination series. Adverse events reported web-based management system (CVMS) and collected text message-based analyzed.From March 5, 2021 February 13, 2022, 12,216 adverse 12- 17-yearolds CVMS, which 97.1% non-serious 2.9% serious events, including 85...
More than 13,000 cases were reported to be infected with COVID-19 by RT-PCR in South Korea. Most studies report clinical characteristics of hospitalized patients COVID-19; the full spectrum disease severity has thus not yet been well described.Using retrospective observational methods, this study analyzed factors affecting early symptoms, progress, and for positive released from quarantine provide information on establishing optimized care new patients. The medical data 7803...
This study aimed to present data on reported adverse events following coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination in Republic of Korea from February 26 October 31, 2021, and determine whether any significant patterns emerged an analysis the characteristics suspected event cases for each type vaccine.Adverse COVID-19 by medical doctors forensic pathologists were analyzed. Cases anaphylaxis classified using Brighton Collaboration definition.By a total 353,535 (0.45%) after 78,416,802...
Objectives: This study analyzed the safety of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) bivalent and monovalent booster vaccines, including frequency adverse events (AEs) such as myocarditis pericarditis, in adolescents aged 12 to 17 years Republic Korea. We aimed share profile COVID-19 vaccine doses.Methods: frequencies AEs reported vaccination management system (CVMS) or self-reported through text message survey (TMS). Diagnostic eligibility causality with vaccines were compared using odds...
The South Korea mass vaccination programme administered 3.8 million doses of COVID-19 vaccinations between 26 February and 30 April 2021. After 173 suspected anaphylaxis reports to the nationwide monitoring system for adverse events following immunisation, 44 cases were confirmed using Brighton Collaboration case definitions. rates per 18.2 6.2 Vaxzevria Comirnaty, respectively. Median time onset was 14 min after most had recovered at review.
Infections with carbapenemase-producing carbapenemresistant Enterobacteriaceae (CP-CRE) are associated high mortality rates (1).Carbapenemases encoded on plasmids can move between bacterial strains and have the potential to rapidly increase proportion of resistant carbapenems; as such, CP-CRE been a particular focus public health response.Although family includes approximately 50 recognized genera, surveillance for has focused organisms most clinical infections: Klebsiella spp., Enterobacter...
Background: Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) are known to be primarily responsible for the increasing spread of carbapenem-resistant and have therefore been targeted preventing transmission appropriate treatment. This study aimed describe clinical epidemiological characteristics risk factors CPE infection in terms acquisition colonization. Methods: We examined patients’ hospital data, including active screening on admission intensive care units (ICUs). identified by comparing...
We aimed to describe the epidemiological characteristics of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) outbreaks in healthcare settings Republic Korea between 2017 and 2022.Under national notifiable disease surveillance system, we obtained annual descriptive statistics regarding isolated species, carbapenemase genotype, facility type, outbreak location duration, number patients affected recommended interventions. used investigation reports on CPE reported Disease Control Prevention...
This study aimed to check the status of contact investigation in congregate settings eradicate tuberculosis (TB) Republic Korea.The "Integrated System for Disease and Public Health Management" is used care follow-up patients contacts TB.
