Health Resilience and Inequality in Healthcare Utilization: A Longitudinal Comparison Between North Korean Refugees and South Korean Residents
Refugees’ healthcare use stabilizes after a six-month recovery period. • Persistent gaps reflect enduring health inequality despite similar slopes. • Refugees’ lower mortality aligns with a healthy-migrant or salmon effect. This study compared the long-term patterns of healthcare utilization and health status of North Korean refugees (NKRs) and South Korean residents following the refugees’ resettlement in South Korea. This population-based cohor…
All-cause mortality risk following diabetic avoidable hospitalization among older patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus: A nationwide retrospective cohort study in South Korea
Enhancing accessibility and quality of primary care to prevent avoidable hospitalization in older patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus is necessary
Trajectory of medical expenditure and regional disparities in hypertensive patients in South Korea
The aim of this study is to understand how different regions influence the management and financial burden of hypertension, and to identify regional disparities in hypertension management and medical expenditure. The study utilized data from the Korean Health Panel Survey conducted between 2014 and 2018, focusing on individuals with hypertension. Medical expenditures were classified into three trajectory groups: “Persistent Low”, “Expenditure Inc…
Comparison of the risk of noise-induced hearing loss between male police officers and male non-police officers: A nationwide cohort study using propensity score matching in South Korea
It is necessary to prevent NIHL by reducing occupational noise exposure through measures such as wearing earplugs, improving shooting training methods, and improving the shift work system
Comparison of the risks of occupational diseases, avoidable hospitalization, and all-cause deaths between firefighters and non-firefighters: A cohort study using national health insurance claims data
Objectives: National Health Insurance claims data were used to compare the incidence of occupational diseases, avoidable hospitalization, and all-cause death standardized incidence ratio and hazard ratio between firefighters and non-firefighters. Methods: The observation period of the study was from 2006 to 2015 and a control group (general workers and national and regional government officers/public educational officers) and a firefighter group …
Influence of Covid-19-Related Interventions on the Number of Inpatients with Acute Viral Respiratory Infections: Using Interrupted Time Series Analysis
After the first COVID-19 patient was diagnosed, non-pharmaceutical interventions such as social distancing and behavior change campaigns were implemented in South Korea. The social distancing policy restricted unnecessary gatherings and activities to prevent local transmission. This study aims to evaluate the effect of social distancing, a strategy for COVID-19 prevention, on the number of acute respiratory infection inpatients. This study used t…
The Werther effect following the suicides of three korean celebrities (2017–2018): An ecological time-series study
This study confirmed that the rate of copycat suicides increased after three celebrity singers in Korea died by suicide. Nevertheless, the rate of suicide after the suicide of the three celebrity singers was lower than those in previous studies in Korea
Association between smokeless tobacco use and cigarette smoking amount by age
The present study revealed that among those who were aged under 30, smokeless tobacco use was positively associated with the number of cigarettes used per day. This study could contribute to understand the behaviors and tendencies of smoking in young adulthood and to establish effective smoking cessation methods for their age
Effect of Information Disclosure Policy on Control of Infectious Disease: Mers-CoV Outbreak in South Korea
This study examined the effect of disclosing a list of hospitals with Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) patients on the number of laboratory-confirmed MERS-CoV cases in South Korea. MERS-CoV data from 20 May 2015 to 5 July 2015 were from the Korean Ministry of Health & Welfare website and analyzed using segmented linear autoregressive error models for interrupted time series. This study showed that the number of laboratory-c…
Factors Associated with Single-Use and Co-Use of Tobacco and Alcohol: A Multinomial Modeling Approach
Tobacco smoking and alcohol consumption are among the most important public health concerns not only in South Korea but also globally. This study identified the factors associated with single-use and co-use of tobacco and alcohol in Korean adults and provided more accurate estimates using a multinomial modeling approach. This study used the Korea Community Health Survey Data 2017, of which 205,336 respondents were selected as the sample for a mul…
Factors Affecting Breastfeeding Practices in Sindh Province, Pakistan: A Secondary Analysis of Cross-Sectional Survey Data
Breastfeeding practices are critical for child health and growth. This paper investigates demographic factors, socioeconomic status, and information sources that affect breastfeeding practices in Sindh Province, Pakistan. A secondary analysis was performed of data on 10,028 women with a birth in the preceding two years who had participated in the 2013-14 Maternal and Child Health Program Indicator Survey.

Is Transient and Persistent Poverty Harmful to Multimorbidity: Model Testing Algorithms
Multimorbidity, the coexistence of two or more long-term medical conditions in one person, has been known to disproportionally affect the low-income population. Little is known about whether long-term income is more crucial for multimorbidity than income measured in one time point; whether persistent poverty is more harmful than transient one; how changes in wealth affect multimorbidity. This is a longitudinal study on a population representative…
Impact of Socio-Economic Factors and Health Information Sources on Place of Birth in Sindh Province, Pakistan: A Secondary Analysis of Cross-Sectional Survey Data
Medical facility birth with skilled birth attendance is essential to reduce maternal mortality. The purpose of this study was to assess the demographic characteristics, socio-economic factors, and varied health information sources that may influence the uptake of birth services in Pakistan. We used pooled data from Maternal-Child Health Program Indicator Survey 2013 and 2014. Study population was 9719 women. Generalized linear model with log link…
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…
