The objective of this study is to describe the general approaches network meta-analysis that are available for quantitative data synthesis using R software. We conducted a two approaches: Bayesian and frequentist methods. corresponding packages were “gemtc” approach “netmeta” approach. In estimating model framework, “rjags” package common tool. implements Markov chain Monte Carlo simulation with graphical output. estimated overall effect sizes, test heterogeneity, moderator effects,...
The objective of this paper is to describe general approaches diagnostic test accuracy (DTA) that are available for the quantitative synthesis data using R software. We conduct a DTA summarizes statistics univariate analysis and bivariate analysis. package commands software were "metaprop" "metabin" sensitivity, specificity, odds ratio; forest plot; reitsma "mada" summarized receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curve; "metareg" meta-regression estimated total effect sizes, heterogeneity...
The objective of this study was to describe the general approaches dose-response meta-analysis (DRMA) available for quantitative synthesis data using R software. We conducted a DRMA two types data, difference means in continuous and odds ratio binary data. package commands software were "doseresmeta" overall effect sizes that separated into linear model, quadratic restricted cubic split model better understanding. according dose test linearity demonstrated interpreted by analyzing one-stage...
Although diffuse alveolar hemorrhage complicating warfarin therapy is rare, it generally has a worsening clinical course and can be life threatening condition. A 56-year-old male who had undergone pulmonary lobectomy for lung cancer 2 years before received about 5 months due to vein thrombosis. The patient presented with severe dyspnea prolonged anticoagulation values. Chest X-ray computed tomography revealed consolidations, bronchoalveolar lavage demonstrated hemorrhage. reversal of was...
A 37-year-old man with a right transfemoral amputation suffered from severe phantom limb pain (PLP). After targeting the affected supplementary motor complex (SMC) or primary cortex (PMC) using neuro-navigation system 800 stimuli of 1 Hz repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) at 85% resting threshold, rTMS over SMC dramatically reduced his visual analog scale (VAS) PLP 7 to 0. However, PMC failed reduce pain. To our knowledge, this is first case report successfully treated low...
In patients with hemodialysis-associated pneumonia (HDAP), information on both microbiologic features and antimicrobial strategies is limited. The aim of this study to investigate predictive factors infection multidrug-resistant (MDR) pathogens in HDAP patients. This was a multicenter, retrospective, observational study. Enrolled were classified into MDR or non-MDR groups according culture results. We examined risk created decision support tool using these factors. identified 24 (22.8%) out...
Although blood cultures (BCs) are an important component of diagnostic practice for antibiotic management in patients with pneumonia, several studies have questioned whether they should be performed. The objective this study was to evaluate the predictive factors bacteremia and role BCs community-onset pneumonia (community-acquired healthcare-associated pneumonia). This retrospectively conducted who were hospitalized at Jeju National University Hospital between January 2012 December 2014. A...
Background: There are various therapeutic options for the conservative management of lower back pain (LBP). A combination two or more treatment may be effective in clinical non-specific LBP. In this study, we compared effects simultaneous heat massage with conventional physical therapy patients subacute Methods: single-center randomized controlled trial which 40 participants LBP were allocated to one groups: a group (HMG) and (PTG). The HMG received using mechanical device (CGM MB-1401,...
Lung dysfunction and high apolipoprotein B/apolipoprotein A-I (apoB/apoA-I) ratio are both recognized risk factors for cardiovascular disease. However, few studies have examined the association between apoB/ApoA-I lung function. Therefore, we investigated whether this is associated with decreased function in a large healthy cohort. We performed cohort study on 68,418 Koreans (34,797 males, mean age: 38.1 years) who underwent health examination 2019. ApoB/apoA-I was categorized into...
Background: Since healthcare-associated pneumonia (HCAP) is heterogeneous, clinical characteristics and outcomes are different from region to region.There can also be differences between HCAP patients hospitalized in secondary or tertiary hospitals.This study aimed evaluate the of admitted into community hospitals.Methods: This was a retrospective conducted with communityacquired (CAP) two hospitals March 2009 January 2011.Results: Of total 303 patients, 96 (31.7%) had HCAP.42 (43.7%)...
Background/Aims: Nursing home-acquired pneumonia (NHAP) is included under healthcare-associated pneumonia. However, the optimal treatment strategy for NHAP has been controversial in several studies. We evaluated clinical features of compared to community-acquired (CAP) elderly patients admitted with Methods: This was a retrospective study aged ≥ 65 years or CAP who were hospitalized at Jeju National University Hospital between January 2012 and April 2013. Results: A total 209 enrolled, 58...
Background Mycobacterial identification in active pulmonary tuberculosis (APTB) is confirmative, even though successful rates using self-expectorated sputum are limited. Sputum specimens collected by hypertonic saline nebulization showed higher bacteriologic diagnostic sensitivities over those of self-expectoration, mostly studied smear-negative or sputum-scarce patients. The efficacy induced was rarely assessed real clinical settings. Methods A prospective randomized case-control study...
