Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder and Risk of Parkinson Disease
OBJECTIVE: Several small-scale studies have suggested a biological link between obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and Parkinson disease (PD). However, the temporal association of OCD and subsequent PD remained unclear. METHODS: Here, we used Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database and included the data of 28,722 patients with OCD ( International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification code: 300.3) and 287,22…
Dose-Dependent Proton Pump Inhibitor Exposure and Risk of Type 2 Diabetes
Background: To investigate the association between proton pump inhibitor (PPI) exposure and a risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) among patients with upper gastrointestinal disease (UGID). Method: We conducted a case−control study from Taiwan’s National Health Insurance Research Database between 1998 and 2013. A total of 20,940 patients with T2DM and 20,940 controls were included. The dose of PPIs was categorized according to the cumulative d…
Posttraumatic Stress Disorder and the Associated Risk of Autoimmune Skin Diseases
OBJECTIVE: Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is known as a risk factor for various immune-related disorders; however, the association between PTSD and related autoimmune skin diseases (ASDs) remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the association of PTSD with the risk of related ASDs. METHODS: Participants were recruited from the National Health Insurance Research Database in Taiwan. We included 9801 patients with PTSD and 39,204 matc…
Risks of Major Mental Disorders and Irritable Bowel Syndrome among the Offspring of Parents with Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a functional bowel disorder that is highly comorbid with mental disorders. However, few studies have examined the risk of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism spectrum disorder (ASD), bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder (MDD), and schizophrenia in the offspring of parents with IBS. We used nationally representative cross-sectional survey data to analyze cross-generational transmission p…
Associations of Perceived Socially Unfavorable Attitudes toward Homosexuality and Same-Sex Marriage with Suicidal Ideation in Taiwanese People before and after Same-Sex Marriage Referendums
This study examined the associations of perceived socially unfavorable attitudes toward homosexuality and same-sex marriage with suicidal ideation in non-heterosexual and heterosexual participants from first (Wave 1, 23 months prior to same-sex marriage referendums) and second (Wave 2, one week after the referendums) wave surveys in Taiwan. Data provided by 3239 participants in Wave 1 and 1337 participants in Wave 2 who were recruited through a F…
Preference about Laws for the Legal Recognition of Same-Sex Relationships in Taiwanese People Before and After Same-Sex Marriage Referenda
This study examined the factors related to the preference about laws to legalize same-sex relationships in participants of the first wave of a survey (Wave 1, 23 months before the same-sex marriage referendum) and the second wave of a survey (Wave 2, 1 week after the same-sex marriage referendum) in Taiwan. The data of 3286 participants in Wave 1 and 1370 participants in Wave 2 recruited through a Facebook advertisement were analyzed. Each partic…
Effect of Same-Sex Marriage Referendums on the Suicidal Ideation Rate among Nonheterosexual People in Taiwan
Taiwan held voter-initiated referendums to determine same-sex marriage legalization on 24 November 2018. This study aims to compare suicidal ideation rates in heterosexual and nonheterosexual participants of a first-wave survey (Wave 1, 23 months before the same-sex marriage referendums) and a second-wave survey (Wave 2, one week after the same-sex marriage referendums) in Taiwan and to examine the influence of gender, age, and sexual orientation…
Risk of Epilepsy in Individuals With Posttraumatic Stress Disorder
OBJECTIVE: Several cross-sectional studies have reported a relationship between posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and epilepsy. However, the temporal association between PTSD and epilepsy has rarely been investigated. We hypothesized that the risk of developing epilepsy later in life would be higher in patients with PTSD than in those without PTSD. METHODS: Using the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database, 6425 individuals with PTS…
Low prevalence of the use of the Chinese term for ‘psychiatry’ in the names of community psychiatry clinics
BACKGROUND: Relabeling has been proposed as a strategy to reduce the stigma associated with mental illnesses. Previous studies have shown that changing the names of psychiatry clinics has led to reduced feelings of being stigmatized among patients. In Taiwan, terms other than 'psychiatry' (in Chinese, jīng shén kē) are more commonly used in the names of psychiatry clinics. The term 'psychosomatic clinics' is widely used instead. AIMS: This study …
Patterns of Psychiatric Outpatient Practice in Taiwan
(1) Background: Limited studies have utilized nationwide data to assess the patterns of psychiatric practice in other countries. In this study, data from the National Health Insurance Research Database in Taiwan (NHIRD-TW) for 2012 was analyzed to determine the patterns of psychiatric outpatient practice in Taiwan; (2) Methods: To determine the patterns of psychiatric outpatient practice in Taiwan, the data were drawn from the datasets of Taiwan'…
Atopic Diseases and Subsequent Ischemic Stroke Among Patients With Schizophrenia
BACKGROUND: Chronic inflammation plays an important role in schizophrenia and atopic diseases, and studies have suggested that chronic inflammation is associated with an increased risk of stroke. The role of atopic diseases in the development of stroke among patients with schizophrenia is still unknown. METHODS: A total of 63,913 patients with schizophrenia without a stroke history between 2002 and 2008 and 63,913 age- and sex-matched controls we…
The Association Between Insomnia and Increased Future Cardiovascular Events
OBJECTIVES: Insomnia may increase the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), but the reported magnitude of the associations between sleep characteristics and CVD is inconsistent. We investigated the association between insomnia and the risk of developing acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and/or stroke by using a nationwide, population-based cohort database in Taiwan. METHODS: The analyses were conducted using information from a random sample of 1 …
Risk of Depressive Disorder Among Patients With Herpes Zoster
OBJECTIVE: Herpes zoster results from reactivation of the endogenous varicella zoster virus infection. Previous studies have shown that herpes zoster and postherpetic neuralgia were associated with anxiety, depression, and insomnia. However, no prospective study has investigated the association between herpes zoster and the development of depressive disorder. METHODS: Subjects were identified through the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research …
Influence of the Kuroshio Current intrusion on Holocene environmental transformation in the South China Sea
Numerous studies have been conducted on the evolutionary history of the Kuroshio Current (KC) and other extensions. However, the history of the KC intrusion into the South China Sea (SCS) through the Luzon Strait has been little studied. Here we trace the Holocene developmental history of the KC intrusion and its impact on environmental transformation in the northern SCS. This study involved a comprehensive analysis of planktonic foraminifera, cl…
Identification of psychiatric disorders among human immunodeficiency virus-infected individuals in Taiwan, a nine-year nationwide population-based study
A previous survey had shown a high level of psychiatric morbidity among human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected individuals, but the number of patients that are actually identified as having a psychiatric disorder in the medical service in Taiwan is unknown. Using the claims data of a nationally representative cohort from the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database, the diagnoses of psychiatric disorders among newly diagnosed HIV-i…
Glacial Paleoceanography off the Mouth of the Mekong River, Southern South China Sea, During the last 500 ka
We have analyzed core MD01-2392, ∽360 km east of the Mekong River mouth in the South China Sea (SCS). Over the past 500 ka, planktonic foraminiferal oxygen-isotopic values are consistently lighter than northern SCS and open-ocean records by up to 0.5‰, indicating the influence of run-off from the Mekong River during both glacial and interglacial periods. Carbonate content is higher during interglacials; sedimentation rates were higher during glac…
