Risk of loss to follow-up among tuberculosis patients in South Korea
Introduction: In South Korea, public-private mix (PPM) has been a key strategy in national tuberculosis (TB) control program. This study aimed to identify rate of loss to follow-up (LTFU) among TB patients in nationwide PPM institutions and their risk factors. Methods: A nationwide prospective observational study including drug susceptible TB patients diagnosed from the 1st day to the 10th day of every month between July 2018 and December 2020 in…
Characteristics of subclinical tuberculosis compared to active symptomatic tuberculosis using nationwide registry cohort in Korea
Objective The clinical manifestations of tuberculosis (TB) range from asymptomatic to disseminated depending on the microbiological and immunological status, making the diagnosis challenging. To improve our understanding of the disease progression mechanism, we aimed to identify the characteristics of subclinical TB and important predictors of symptom development. Methods From July 2018 to June 2019, we systemically collected data from the Nation…
Interferon-γ-Inducible Chemokines as Prognostic Markers for Lung Cancer
Interferon (IFN)-γ-inducible chemokines in the CXCR3/ligand axis are involved in cell-mediated immunity and play a significant role in the progression of cancer. We enrolled patients with lung cancer ( n = 144) and healthy volunteers as the controls ( n = 140). Initial blood samples were collected and concentrations of IFN-γ and IFN-γ-inducible chemokines CXCL9, CXCL10, and CXCL11 were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Of patients…
TB Antigen-Stimulated CXCR3 Ligand Assay for Diagnosis of Tuberculous Lymphadenitis
The diagnosis of tuberculous lymphadenitis (TB-LAP) is challenging. We evaluated the role of blood CXC chemokine receptor 3 (CXCR3) ligands in its diagnosis. A total of 65 lymphadenopathy patients were enrolled and lymph node sampling was performed. We also recruited 113 control subjects, consisting of 27 with positive results and 86 with negative results, in the interferon (IFN)-γ release assay (IGRA). In all study subjects, whole-blood samples …
Biosignal-Based Digital Biomarkers for Prediction of Ventilator Weaning Success
We evaluated new features from biosignals comprising diverse physiological response information to predict the outcome of weaning from mechanical ventilation (MV). We enrolled 89 patients who were candidates for weaning from MV in the intensive care unit and collected continuous biosignal data: electrocardiogram (ECG), respiratory impedance, photoplethysmogram (PPG), arterial blood pressure, and ventilator parameters during a spontaneous breathin…
