Article Synopsis
- In-depth investigation into medical costs before and after biopsies for kidney diseases in South Korea is essential for understanding risks and outcomes.
- The study analyzed data from 1,390 patients diagnosed with glomerulonephritis (GN), tubulointerstitial nephritis (TIN), and acute tubular necrosis (ATN) between 2012 and 2018, linking clinical data to national medical claims.
- Findings indicate that medical costs usually rise post-biopsy for most kidney diseases, with increased rates of serious health events noted in certain disease categories, highlighting critical epidemiological insights.
Background/aims: Recently, the eradication rate of () infection has decreased to less than 80% worldwide with the use of clarithromycin-based triple therapy owing to the increased resistance of to antibiotics, especially clarithromycin and metronidazole. This prospective study aimed to determine eradication rate of following high and frequent doses of extended-release dexlansoprazole and amoxicillin, as a dual therapy in a region with high clarithromycin resistance rate.
Methods: A total of 50 treatment-naïve patients with active infections, who were confirmed through via rapid urease test or histology and serology between November 2015 and February 2016 at our hospital, were included for analysis.
Background/aims: Argon plasma coagulation (APC) has some merits in the treatment of gastric neoplasms including a shorter operative time and fewer complications compared with endoscopic mucosal resection or endoscopic submucosal dissection. However, there are few reports on the outcomes of gastric neoplasms treated using APC. The aim of this study was to evaluate APC in the treatment of early gastric neoplasms in terms of clinical efficacy, safety, and local recurrence.

The purposes of this study were to verify Baveno V definitions and criteria for failure to control bleeding and to determine the usefulness of the combined use of the Adjusted Blood Requirement Index [ABRI: (number of blood units)/(final hematocrit-initial hematocrit)+0.01] with Baveno V criteria.

Purpose: This study was to explore adaptation experience to family among women who immigrated for marriage. Specific aims were to identify problems immigrant women face as family members and how they interact with other family members.
Methods: Grounded theory methodology was utilized.
Objective: The main purpose of this study is to provide a national catalog of preference-based utility weights associated with major chronic diseases in Korea.
Methods: The 2005 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey was used to get EQ-5D scores for 27 major chronic diseases. The independent detrimental effect of each chronic disease was estimated using a censored least absolute deviations regression.
