Demographics and medical disorders associated with smoking
Sex, age, insured categories, residence in suburban areas, and COPD were associated with smoking in people
BMI and all-cause mortality among middle-aged and older adults in Taiwan
Objective The present study investigates the relationship between BMI and all-cause mortality among middle-aged and older adults with or without pre-existing diseases. Design A population-based cohort study. Setting The Taiwan Longitudinal Study on Aging is a nationwide prospective cohort study comprising a representative random sample of middle-aged and older adults. The study period was 1996–2007. Subjects We followed 4145 middle-aged and older…
Carbon monoxide poisoning and risk of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism
BACKGROUND: Few studies have investigated the relationship between carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning and risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE). Therefore, we conducted a nationwide longitudinal cohort study in Taiwan to determine whether patients with CO poisoning are associated with increased risk of developing DVT and PE. METHODS: This study investigated the incidence and risk factors for DVT and PE in 8316 patients newly …
Thalassaemia and risk of cancer
BACKGROUND: Studies that have investigated the epidemiological relationship between thalassaemia and cancers are scarce. Therefore, we conducted a longitudinal nationwide cohort study to determine whether patients with thalassaemia are at an increased risk of cancer. METHODS: We investigated the incidence and risk of cancer in 2655 patients diagnosed with thalassaemia between 1998 and 2010 by using data from the Taiwan Longitudinal Health Insuran…
Psychometric testing of the short version of the world health organization quality of life (WHOQOL-BREF) questionnaire among pulmonary tuberculosis patients in Taiwan
Psychometric evaluation of the Taiwan short version of the WHOQOL-BREF indicates that it has adequate reliability for use in research with TB patients in Taiwan. However, the factor structure generated from this TB patient sample differed from the WHO's original 4-factor model, which raised a validity concern to apply the Taiwan short version of the WHOQOL-BREF to Taiwanese TB patients. Future research recruiting another sample to revisit this va…
Variations of care quality for infectious pulmonary tuberculosis in Taiwan
Differences in care quality exist among different types of healthcare institutions and among individual physicians. The implementation of practice guidelines should contribute to an improvement in the care quality of the treatment and diagnosis of PTB
