Risk of Herpes Zoster in Patients with Pulmonary Tuberculosis—A Population-Based Cohort Study
Patients with TB should be well treated to avoid the potential risk of HZ occurrence. Although we identified the association between pulmonary TB and HZ, further studies are needed to confirm the result
Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo Is Associated with an Increased Risk for Migraine Diagnosis
Previous studies reported an increased risk of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) in patients with migraine. Hence, we aimed to assess the risk of migraine in patients with BPPV. This cohort study was conducted using the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database. The BPPV cohort consisted of patients aged t -test and the chi-square test. Cox proportional hazards regression analysis was used to estimate the hazard ratio for migra…
Sulfonylurea Use in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes and COPD
We conducted this study to investigate the long-term outcomes of sulfonylurea (SU) use in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and type 2 diabetes (T2D). We used propensity-score matching to identify 6008 pairs of SU users and nonusers from Taiwan's National Health Insurance Research Database from 1 January 2000 to 31 December 2017. Cox proportional hazard models were used to compare the risks of mortality, cardiovascular ev…
Association between Exposure to Particulate Matter Air Pollution during Early Childhood and Risk of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder in Taiwan
(1) Background: Recently, a growing number of studies have provided evidence to suggest a strong correlation between air pollution exposure and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). In this study, we assessed the relationship between early-life exposure to particulate matter (PM) 10 , PM 2 . 5 , and ADHD; (2) Methods: The National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD) contains the medical records, drug information, inspection data…
Association between Statin Use and Diabetes Risk in Patients with Transient Ischemic Attack
Statin therapy can effectively reduce recurrent transient ischemic attack (TIA) risk. However, studies have reported that statin use is associated with incidence of diabetes mellitus (DM). Whether statin therapy remains associated with higher DM risk in patients with TIA remains unknown. This study investigated whether statin treatment influences incident DM risk in patients with TIA. We conducted a retrospective cohort study using the Longitudin…
Metformin and the Risk of Chronic Urticaria in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes
We conducted this study to determine the effect of metformin use on the risk of new-onset chronic urticaria in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). In total, 24,987 pairs of metformin users and nonusers were identified with propensity score-matching from Taiwan's National Health Insurance Research Database from 1 January 2000, to 31 December 2017. Multivariable Cox proportional hazards models were used to compare the risks of chronic urticaria de…
Nontyphoidal Salmonella Infection Associated with Subsequent Risk of Hematological Malignancies
This study aimed to investigate the relationship between nontyphoidal salmonellosis (NTS) and new-onset hematological malignancy. We conducted a 17-year nationwide, population-based, retrospective cohort study to examine the association between NTS and the risk of hematological malignancies by using the Longitudinal Health Insurance Database (LHID) of Taiwan. Participants were enrolled from 2000 to 2015 and were monitored until 2017. We traced th…
Association Between Preeclampsia Risk and Fine Air Pollutants and Acidic Gases
Background: Fine air pollutant particles have been reported to be associated with risk of preeclampsia. The association between air pollutant exposure and preeclampsia risk in heavily air polluted Taiwan warrants investigation. Methods: We combined data from Taiwan National Health Insurance (NHI) Research Database (NHIRD) and Taiwan Air Quality Monitoring Database. Women aged 16–55 years were followed from January 1, 2000, until appearance of ICD…
Increased Incidence of Dysmenorrhea in Women Exposed to Higher Concentrations of NO, NO2, NOx, CO, and PM2.5
Background: Air pollution is speculated to affect the reproductive health of women. However, a longitudinal association between exposure to air pollution and dysmenorrhea has not been identified, which this study aimed to examine this point. Methods: Two nationwide databases, namely the Taiwan Air Quality Monitoring database and the Taiwan National Health Research Institutes database were linked. Women with a history of dysmenorrhea (Internationa…
Association of Geomagnetic Disturbances and Suicide Attempts in Taiwan, 1997–2013
This is the first article reporting statistically significant relationships between the monthly number of male and female suicide attempts and the monthly mean Kp10 value in Taiwan
Risk of Urticaria in Children with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus
Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) has been linked to many autoimmune problems. The association between T1DM and urticaria warrants investigation. Data were extracted from the National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD) of Taiwan. Participants with T1DM were recruited as the case group, and that group was matched by sex and age at a ratio of 1:4 to the control group comprising those without T1DM. The study period was 1998-2011. All participa…
A Retrospective Administrative Database Analysis of Suicide Attempts and Completed Suicide in Patients With Chronic Pancreatitis
Background: The actual incidence rate of suicide attempt and the suicide-related fatality rate (completed suicide) in patients with chronic pancreatitis (CP) have not been mentioned in the literature. Methods: We conducted a nationwide population-based cohort study by analyzing data from Taiwan’s National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD) to compare the rate of suicide attempt between a CP cohort and a non-CP cohort. For the study cohort…
Reduced Risks of Both Ischemic and Hemorrhagic Strokes in Nurses
The risks of both stroke types were lower in the nurse group than in the control. For stroke prevention, more frequent physical examinations are needed in order to enhance the health and well-being of people, including the nurses
Association of Exposure to Fine-Particulate Air Pollution and Acidic Gases with Incidence of Nephrotic Syndrome
Background : Air pollution has been associated with autoimmune diseases. Nephrotic syndrome is a clinical manifestation of immune-mediated glomerulopathy. However, the association between nephrotic syndrome and air pollution constituents remains unknown. We conducted this nationwide retrospective study to investigate the association between PM 2.5 and nephrotic syndrome. Methods : We used the Longitudinal Health Insurance Database (LHID) and the …
Evidence for an Association between Macular Degeneration and Thyroid Cancer in the Aged Population
Direct evidence of whether thyroid cancer patients have a higher risk of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) has yet to be investigated. Patients older than 50 years-old and newly diagnosed with thyroid cancer between 2000 and 2008 were identified from the national health insurance research database (NHIRD). We applied time-varying Cox proportional hazard models to assess the association between thyroid cancer and AMD. The multivariable models…
Utilization of Chinese herbal medicine and its association with the risk of fracture in patients with Parkinson's disease in Taiwan
A significant decrease in blood pressure through a family-based nutrition health education programme among community residents in Taiwan
Objective To evaluate the effect on decrease in blood pressure of modifying risk factors for stroke, such as blood lipid profiles, diet habits and indices of body weight, through a family-based nutrition health education programme among hypertensive patients and pre-hypertensive subjects without taking any antihypertensive drugs. Design and setting This was a community-based prospective study. The study population was randomly selected from commu…
