24-h PCI model does affect the outcome of STEMI patients: a population-based study.

Acute myocardial infarction has been the second leading cause of death in Taiwan. It's a novel issue to evaluate the relationship between the 24-h PCI service model and the outcome of STEMI patients. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of 24-h PCI service model in STEMI patients to improving survival rate.

Effect of multidisciplinary team care on the risk of recurrence in breast cancer patients: A national matched cohort study.

Background: Cancer has been the leading cause of death in the past decade in Taiwan, with breast cancer being the most common type of cancer in females. Very few studies looked at the risk of recurrence in patients who received multidisciplinary team (MDT) care. We analyzed the influence of MDT on the risk of recurrence and death in breast cancer patients.
