BACKGROUND: Gastrectomy for gastric cancer is associated with postoperative changes in cardiovascular risk factors, however, the impact of gastrectomy on cardiovascular events remains unclear. We assessed the incidence of cardiovascular events between patients undergoing gastrectomy or endoscopic resection for gastric cancer, and the general population. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This retrospective nationwide cohort study included patients with gastric cancer undergoing gastrectomy(n=37,698), endoscopic resection(n=2,773), and matched control population(n=161,887) between 2004 and 2013...

Vitamin D may have anticancer effects against colorectal cancer (CRC). Bone mineral density (BMD) reflects the long-term vitamin D status. This study investigated the association between osteoporosis and colorectal neoplasms (CRN). The data were obtained from the National Health Insurance Service sample cohort, which included 60,386 osteoporosis patients and 8224 controls who underwent BMD in 2002-2019. The logistic regression models included age, sex, income level, and comorbidity. Sensitivity tests were performed using the data from the National Health Screening Program...

This study aimed to evaluate the potential association between coronary heart disease (CHD) severity and the subsequent dry eye disease (DED) with a different severity through the use of the National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD) of Taiwan. A retrospective cohort study was conducted. The CHD population was further divided into a severe CHD that had received coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery group and a mild CHD that had received medicine group, then matched with a 1:2 ratio, and 29,852 and 14,926 CHD patients were put into the severe CHD and mild CHD groups, respectively...

BACKGROUND: Studies show that an impaired maternal-fetal environment (iMFE) increases the mortality risk in children with single-ventricle congenital heart defects (CHDs). We investigated the impact of an iMFE on death in children with various surgically corrected CHDs. METHODS AND RESULTS: In this nationwide register-based study, we examined the association between an iMFE (including preeclampsia, gestational hypertension, gestational diabetes, maternal smoking during pregnancy) and death in a large cohort of children with surgically corrected CHDs in Denmark (1994-2018)...

Migration is a critical aspect of ocean ecosystems, and understanding this phenomenon answers ecological and management questions. Given the difficulty in tracking ocean animals across large distances, the extent to which different ray species perform long-distance movements, such as migrations, remains unknown. This study used passive acoustic telemetry to track the movements of endemic diamond Gymnura natalensis and critically endangered duckbill Aetomylaeus bovinus rays along the South African coastline using a collaborative nationwide network of coastal acoustic receivers for up to 7 years...

Streptococcus pneumoniae is the leading cause of bacterial pneumonia, bacteremia, and meningitis. Indonesia introduced the pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) nationwide in 2022. In this study, we present whole genome sequence (WGS) data of 94 S. pneumoniae isolates that were obtained from hospitalized patients, healthy children, and adult groups from different regions prior to PCV program in Indonesia. DNA sequences of S. pneumoniae were obtained using the TruSeq Nano DNA kit (Illumina NovaSeq6000 Platform)...

Falls are the leading cause of hospitalizations following trauma nationwide, resulting in over 3 million admissions in 2020. This population is typically aged, and many are prescribed antithrombotic (AT) therapy. In this prospective study, we aimed to analyze fall history while assessing appropriateness of AT regimen relative to fall risk. Patients presenting following ground level fall (GLF) and meeting inclusion criteria during the study period were enrolled. Primary outcome was the relationship between AT therapy necessity (CHA2 DS2 -VASc) and fall risk (Morse Fall Risk)...

BACKGROUND: Approximately 30% of patients with clinical stage I non-seminoma (CSI-NS) relapse. Current risk stratification is based on lymphovascular invasion (LVI) alone. The extent to which additional tumor characteristics can improve risk prediction remains unclear. OBJECTIVE: To determine the most important prognostic factors for relapse in CSI-NS patients.

CONTEXT: Reliable reference values for thyroid ultrasound measurements are essential to effectively guide individual diagnostics and direct health care measures at the population level, such as iodine fortification programs. However, the latest reference values for total thyroid volume (Tvol) provided by the WHO in 2004 only apply to the 6 to 12-year-old age group and are limited to countries with a long history of iodine sufficiency, which does not reflect the situation in most European countries, including Germany...

OBJECTIVES: Long COVID is recognized since early 2020, but its definition is not unanimous, which complicates epidemiological assessments. This study estimated the prevalence of long COVID based on several definitions and severity thresholds in the adult population in mainland France and examined variations according to sociodemographic and infection characteristics. METHODS: A cross-sectional survey using random sampling was conducted in August-November 2022. Participants declaring SARS-CoV-2 infection were assessed for infection dates and context, post-COVID symptoms (from a list of 31, with onset time, daily functioning impact, alternative diagnosis) and perceived long COVID...

BACKGROUND: Off-pump coronary revascularization (OPCAB) has been proposed to benefit patients at greater surgical risk as it avoids the use of extracorporeal circulation. While historically older patients were considered high risk candidates, recent studies implicate frailty as a more comprehensive measure of perioperative fitness. Yet, outcomes of OPCAB among frail patients have not been elucidated. Thus, using a national cohort of frail patients, we assessed the impact of OPCAB, relative to on-pump (ONCAB)...

Introduction 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA) is the first-line drug for the treatment of mild-to-moderate ulcerative colitis (UC). Three oral sustained-release formulations are often used. However, no unified view of their actual use in routine medical practice has been presented to date. Methods Using a health insurance claims database, we extracted patients with an initial diagnosis of mild-to-moderate UC during the period from December 1, 2017 to March 31, 2022. For the three types of oral 5-ASA formulation, we calculated and compared descriptive statistics of medication persistence rates (MPR), proportions of days covered (PDC) and adherence proportion (PDC ≥ 80%) in the extracted population...

Introduction: Interprofessional consultations ("eConsults"), which facilitate asynchronous specialist consultations, remain understudied in neurological disorders. We aimed to describe the patient population receiving eConsult services for neurological disorders nationwide and to conduct a comparative analysis between rural and urban patients within this eConsult cohort. Methods: We analyzed a dataset of U.S. outpatient claims from employer-sponsored commercial and Medicare plans. Using standardized mean differences, we compared clinical and sociodemographic patient characteristics between urban and rural patients within the eConsult group...
