To PCR or not? The impact of shifting policy from PCR to rapid antigen tests to diagnose Covid-19 during the omicron epidemic
Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) had caused huge impacts worldwide. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is the mainstay diagnostic modality. In most hospitals in Taiwan, samples for PCR are collected at emergency department (ER) or outdoor clinics to avoid virus spread inside hospitals. Home rapid antigen test (RAT) is a feasible, low-cost, and convenient tool with moderate sensitivity and high specificity, which can be performed at ho…
Injury in Children with Developmental Disorders
Although past studies have identified predictors related to child injuries with developmental disorders, national-level research in Asia is limited. The objective of this study was to explore the risk factors for child injuries with developmental disorders in Taiwan using a national-level integrated database for the period between 2004-2015 (The Maternal and Child Health Database, National Health Insurance Research Database, Census Registry, and …
Influence of Latitude on the Prevalence of Kawasaki Disease
Background: Countries at higher latitudes have higher incidence rates of Kawasaki disease (KD) than do countries at lower latitudes in the Asian and West Pacific area. However, the precise influence of latitude on KD incidence rates requires further clarification. Methods: We searched the Longitudinal Health Insurance Database 2005 to retrieve patients’ medical records from 1996 to 2009. The patients with KD were categorized as living in northern…
