Epidemiology of traumatic spinal cord injury
This study indicated an increasing anxiety or depression in tSCI patients, especially among younger adults and those without catastrophic illness status. Early psychiatric screening, multidisciplinary care, and psychosocial support are critical to improving long-term outcomes
Epidemiological characteristics of heat-related illness
In Taiwan, patients with HRI are more likely to males and between 20 and 44 years old. Male patients were younger and more likely to receive treatment in hospitals. Heat stroke was the most common HRI and had the highest mortality rate, which calls for establishment of the prevention and treatment strategies
Alcohol abuse may increase the risk of autoimmune connective tissue disease
This study demonstrates that alcohol abuse increases the risk of developing ACTD in the Asian population, particularly among men. Therefore, it is important to implement alcohol cessation, especially in individuals with liver disease, renal disease, coronary artery disease, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
A Population-Based Study of Social Demographic Factors, Associated Diseases and Recurrent Corneal Erosion in Taiwan
Purpose To investigate the association of recurrent corneal erosion (RCE) with sociodemographic factors and associated ocular conditions or systemic diseases. Methods This nationwide, population-based, retrospective, matched case-controlled study included 98,895 RCE patients, identified by the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM) code 371.42, were selected from the Taiwan National Health Insur…
Comparison of Cost-Effectiveness between Inpatient and Home-Based Post-Acute Care Models for Stroke Rehabilitation in Taiwan
Stroke rehabilitation focuses on alleviating post-stroke disability. Post-acute care (PAC) offers an intensive rehabilitative program as transitional care following acute stroke. A novel home-based PAC program has been initiated in Taiwan since 2019. Our study aimed to compare the current inpatient PAC model with a novel home-based PAC model in cost-effectiveness and functional recovery for stroke patients in Taiwan. One hundred ninety-seven stro…
Prevalence and Initial Diagnosis of Cerebral Palsy in Preterm and Term-Born Children in Taiwan
The aim of this long-term longitudinal study in Taiwan was to estimate and compare the prevalence of cerebral palsy (CP) and to identify the age of CP diagnosis of term-born and preterm children with different birthweights. Records of 1494 extremely low birth weight (ELBW, <1000 g), 3961 very low birth weight (VLBW, 1000-1499 g), 19,612 low birth weight (LBW, 1500-2499 g) preterm, and 100,268 matched term-born children were retrieved from Taiwan'…
Healthcare Utilization in Different Stages among Patients with Dementia
To evaluate the trend of healthcare utilization among patients with dementia (PwD) in different post-diagnosis periods, Taiwan’s nationwide population database was used in this study. PwD were identified on the basis of dementia diagnoses during 2002–2011. We further subdivided the cases into 10 groups from the index year to the 10th year after diagnosis. The frequency of emergency department visits and hospitalizations, the length of stay, outpa…
Atypical Sensory Processing and Its Correlation with Behavioral Problems in Late Preterm Children at Age Two
This study aimed to compare the prevalence rate of atypical sensory processing in late preterm (LP) and term children at two years of age and to further investigate the co-occurrence of atypical sensory processing and behavioral problems (internalizing/externalizing) in both groups of children. A total of 104 children (52 LP and 52 sex- and birth order-matched term children) were included. The primary caregivers were asked to complete the Infant/…
Association between Anti-Psychotic Drugs Use and Hip Fractures in Patients with Dementia
The findings suggest that caution must be taken when initiating APD use in patients with dementia, even in a small dose, and mixed types of APD prescriptions should be administered with care. Furthermore, frequent evaluation of the possibility of tapering or withdrawal of the medication is necessary, as the risk does not attenuate after long-term use
Burden of Healthcare Utilization among Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Patients with and without Cancer Receiving Palliative Care
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic disease that burdens patients worldwide. This study aims to discover the burdens of health services among COPD patients who received palliative care (PC). Study subjects were identified as COPD patients with ICU and PC records between 2009 and 2013 in Taiwan's National Health Insurance Research Database. The burdens of healthcare utilization were analyzed using logistic regression to estim…
The Association between Home Healthcare and Burdensome Transitions at the End-of-Life in People with Dementia
HHC has differential effects on early and late transitions. Characteristics of HHC such as better continuity or interdisciplinary coordination may reduce the risk of transitions at the end-of-life. We need further studies to understand the longitudinal effects of HHC and its synergy with palliative care, as well as the key components of HHC that achieve better end-of-life outcomes
Comparison of Risk for End-Stage Renal Disease Between Physicians and the General Population
Physicians experience high stress and have much responsibility during a night shift, which contributes to increased sympathetic activity, the risk factor for renal disease. The risk for end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in physicians is still unclear. Therefore, we conducted a nationwide population-based cohort study to clarify this issue. Using Taiwan's National Health Insurance Research Database, we identified 30,268 physicians and 60,536 individu…
Association between acute methanol poisoning and subsequent mortality
MP was associated with increased subsequent mortality. Close follow-up for comorbidity control and socioeconomic assistance are suggested for patients with MP
