Disparities of healthcare utilization in sexually transmitted diseases management
Objective: To identify patient and hospital factors, such as race and region, associated with increased sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) hospital charges, and emergency room (ER) usage for significant federal funding and research allocation. Methods: = 22,275) from 2016 to 2019. The sample's characteristics, the odds of an ER visit, and the association between an ER visit and healthcare utilization measured by hospital charges were examined b…
Health Disparities of Healthcare Utilization and Opioid Use Disorders Among Chronic Pain Patients
Impact of fragmented care on cancer outcomes among korean women with breast and cervical cancer
FC can negatively affect the efficiency of healthcare delivery, resulting in excessive medical expenditures and deterioration of health outcomes. These associations may be greater under conditions of disparities in cancer care such as accessibility
Is gender dysphoria associated with increased hospital cost per stay among patients hospitalized for depression? Focus on the racial and regional variance in US hospitals
Introduction: Individuals with gender dysphoria do not identify with their sex assigned at birth and face societal and cultural challenges, leading to increased risk for depression, anxiety, and suicide. Gender dysphoria is a DSM-5 diagnosis but is not necessary for transition therapy. Additionally, individuals with gender dysphoria or who identify as gender diverse/nonconforming may experience "minority stress" from increased discrimination, lea…
Racial and Regional Disparities Surrounding In-Hospital Mortality among Patients with 2019 Novel Coronavirus Disease (Covid-19)
Is patients’ rurality associated with in-hospital sepsis death in US hospitals
Background: The focus of this study was to explore the association of patients' rurality and other patient and hospital-related factors with in-hospital sepsis mortality to identify possible health disparities across United States hospitals. Methods: = 9,887,682) from 2016 to 2019. We used multivariate survey logistic regression models to identify predictors for how patients' rurality is associated with in-hospital death. Findings: During the stu…
Is Hospital Hospice Service Associated with Efficient Healthcare Utilization in Deceased Lung Cancer Patients? Hospital Charges at Their End of Life
In July 2015, South Korea began applying National Health Insurance reimbursement to inpatient hospice service. It is now appropriate and relevant to evaluate how hospice care is associated with healthcare utilization in terminal lung cancer patients. We used nationwide NHI claims data of lung cancer patients from 2008-2018 and identified a sample of patients deceased after July 2016. We transposed the dataset into a retrospective cohort design wh…
Influence of the Characteristics of Sports Sharing Economy Services on Intention of Use
This study empirically investigated the effectiveness of the characteristics of sports sharing economy services that has been highlighted recently. The study used consumers’ attitude and trust as parameters of the association between the characteristics and use intention of consumers. There are three research questions in the study. The first question is whether the characteristics of sports sharing economy services affect the consumers’ use inte…
Does low income effects 5-year mortality of hepatocellular carcinoma patients
Having a low income significantly affected the overall 5-year mortality of Korean adults who were newly diagnosed with HCC from 2004 to 2008. Middle-aged men were the most vulnerable. We believe our findings will be useful to healthcare policymakers in Korea as well as to healthcare leaders in countries with NHI programs who need to make important decisions about allocation of limited healthcare resources according to a consensually accepted and …
Biological Age Is Associated with the Active Use of Nutrition Data
Purpose Biological age (BA) has recently emerged as a substitute for chronological age (CA), and many subjects seek to optimally control their BA. However, in South Korea, no study has adequately explored factors that affect BA, although individual health management is essential to preventing chronic diseases. In the present study, we focus on the use of health information, in particular nutrition facts, to control BA. Methods We used data from t…
The Association between Migraine and Types of Sleep Disorder
Background : Migraines gradually increase year by year, as does its burden. Management and prevention are needed to reduce such burdens. Previous studies have suggested that daily health behaviors can cause migraines. Sleep is a substantial part of daily life, and in South Korea, the average sleep duration is shorter than in other countries. Thus, this study focused on the increase of both diseases, and analyzed sleep disorders as a risk factor f…
Is Sleep Duration Associated with Biological Age (BA)
(1) Background: South Korea ranked worst in sleep duration compared to other countries, but there are no clear healthcare programs to guarantee sufficient sleep. Studies are needed to suggest evidence and arouse public awareness of the negative effects of abnormal sleep duration. In this study, we investigated the relationship between biological age (BA) and sleep duration. (2) Methods: We used data from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Ex…
Combined effect of body mass index and body size perception on metabolic syndrome in South Korea
Our findings suggest that the combination of body size perception and BMI is useful in predicting the risk of metabolic syndrome. The use of complementary predictors could reduce the risk for inaccurate prediction of metabolic syndrome
Do early onset and pack-years of smoking increase risk of type II diabetes
Early onset of smoking increases type II diabetic risk among men in South Korea and the U.S., and type II diabetic risk increases with higher pack-years in U.S. men, however, no associations were found in women population. Underage tobacco policy and education programs are strongly needed in both countries
