Mortality rates associated with sepsis have increased progressively in Korea, but domestic epidemiologic data remain limited. The objective of this study was to investigate the characteristics, management and clinical outcomes patients Korea.This is a multicenter retrospective cohort study. A total 64,021 adult who visited an emergency department (ED) within one 19 participating hospitals during 1-month period were screened for eligibility. Among these, diagnosed based on third International...
Abstract Background Endobronchial valve (EBV) therapy, a validated method for bronchoscopic lung volume reduction (BLVR) in severe emphysema, has been explored persistent air-leak (PAL) management. However, its effectiveness and safety the Asian population require further real-world evaluation. In this study, we assessed outcomes of treatment with EBV within demographic. Methods We conducted retrospective analysis medical records from 11 Korean centers. For emphysema cohort, inclusion...
Tobacco smoking remains a major global health concern, causing preventable deaths and economic strain. Although new tobacco products such as heat-not-burn (HnB) are safer alternatives to traditional cigarettes, research on their associated risks limited. This study aimed investigate the effects of HnB smoke exposure lungs compared those cigarettes combined use using experiments with mouse model. We quantitatively analyzed changes in levels 92 blood plasma proteins proximity extension assay...
To investigate the impact of normothermia on compliance with sepsis bundles and in-hospital mortality in patients who present to emergency departments.Retrospective multicenter observational study.Nineteen university-affiliated hospitals Korean Sepsis Alliance participated this study. Data were collected regarding visited departments for during 1-month period. The divided into three groups based their body temperature at time triage department (i.e., hypothermia [< 36°C] vs [36-38°C]...
Background: Socioeconomic status (SES) is a strong determinant in the development of various diseases. We evaluated relationship between SES and incidence chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) by using community-based cohort data. Patients Methods: Four-year follow-up data 6341 adults (aged ≥ 40 years), who underwent serial function test were analyzed. Incidence COPD participants was defined as absence airflow obstruction compatible with (pre-bronchodilator forced expiratory volume 1...
The government of Korea implemented a strategy prevention and early diagnosis in high-risk groups to reduce the tuberculosis (TB) burden. This study aims investigate TB epidemiology gap understanding prevalence among homeless individuals by analyzing active chest X-ray (CXR) screening results Korea.
<h3>BACKGROUND:</h3> The use of high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) is rapidly increasing without clear indications, creating the potential for overuse or misuse and accompanying risk adverse events. purpose this study was to determine factors associated with HFNC failure by examining current clinical practice HFNC. <h3>METHODS:</h3> From July 1, 2017, June 30, 2018, in 5 university-affiliated hospitals Republic Korea, a total 1,161 admitted adult subjects who had administered were...
Background:The impact of myocardial damage on the prognosis patients with septic shock is not clearly elucidated because complex hemodynamic changes in sepsis obscure direct relationship.We evaluated left ventricular (LV) conditions that reflect independently from and their influence patients.Methods: We retrospectively enrolled 208 adult who were admitted to intensive care unit underwent echocardiography within 7 days diagnosis shock.Patients previously diagnosed structural heart disease or...
Phosphate concentrations change continuously throughout hospitalization; however, it is unclear which available phosphate measures are most clinically important for predicting hospital mortality. Therefore, we investigated in association with mortality following admission to the intensive care unit. We retrospectively enrolled all adult patients receiving mechanical ventilation. were divided into three categories: initially measured (iP); maximum−minimum values (ΔP); and arithmetic average...
Background: Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) is an innovative tool for diagnosing mediastinal diseases. We investigated the factors affecting diagnostic yield of EBUS-TBNA and evaluated whether effects these (number biopsies, core tissue acquisition rate, diameter volume tissue) vary depending on computed tomography (CT) and/or positron emission (PET)/CT results. Methods: retrospectively analyzed lung cancer patients who underwent at Korea...
Tuberculosis (TB) is increasing in immigrants. We aimed to investigate the current status of latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) treatment for North Korean Refugees (NKR) compared South Koreans Contacts (SKC).TB close contacts a closed facility SKC and NKR who underwent LTBI screening settlement support center were analyzed retrospectively.Among tuberculin skin test (TST) ≥10 mm (n=298) reactors, males accounted 72.2% (n=126) 19.5% (n=172) (p<0.01). The mean age was higher Korea (42.8±9.9...
The prognostic implications of septic cardiomyopathy have not been clearly demonstrated. We evaluated serial changes in left ventricular (LV) and right (RV) function patients with shock their value on 7-day in-hospital mortality.Transthoracic echocardiography was performed within 48 hours the diagnosis 7 days after initial evaluation. In addition to traditional echocardiographic parameters, LV RV using global longitudinal strain (GLS), tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE).A...
Early recognition and therapeutic intervention are important in patients at high risk of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The lung injury prediction score (LIPS) has been used to predict ARDS development; however, it was developed based on the previous definition ARDS. We investigated predictive role LIPS development according its Berlin Korean population. This a retrospective study that enrolled adult admitted intensive care unit (ICU) single university-affiliated hospital Korea...
Considering the characteristics of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), we compared clinical course and outcomes patients with ARDS who received venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV ECMO) based on etiology ARDS. This retrospective single-center study included adult severe necessitating VV ECMO during COVID-19 pandemic. Among 45 ECMO, 21 presented COVID-19. exhibited lower sequential organ failure assessment scores (9 [8–12.75] versus 8...

Patients undergoing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) prior to extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) can have severely altered physiology, including that of the coagulation pathway. This could complicate (ECPR) management. We aimed show targeting an activated clotting time (ACT) < 160 seconds does not affect complication rates in these patients. In this single-centered retrospective study, medical records 81 adult patients who were on ECMO support from March 2017 2020 reviewed....
<b>Background</b> Cytokine storm is associated with severity and prognosis of various viral diseases. However, its role in coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) not fully elucidated. <b>Methods</b> Among the COVID-19 patients who admitted to two hospitals Republic Korea from Feb 2020 Dec 2021, serum cytokine levels 26 severe 58 age- sex-matched mild were compared.
