Musculoskeletal Disorders, Pain Medication, and in-Hospital Mortality among Patients with COVID-19 in South Korea: A Population-Based Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT: We aimed to investigate whether comorbid musculoskeletal disorders (MSD)s and pain medication use was associated with in-hospital mortality among patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Adult patients (≥20 years old) with a positive COVID-19 diagnosis until 5 June 2020 were included in this study, based on the National Health Insurance COVID-19 database in South Korea. MSDs included osteoarthritis, neck pain, lower back pain, rheumatoid arthritis, and others, while pain medication included paracetamol, gabapentin, pregabalin, glucocorticoid, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), opioids (strong and weak opioids), and benzodiazepine. Primary endpoint was in-hospital mortality. A total of 7713 patients with COVID-19 were included, and in-hospital mortality was observed in 248 (3.2%) patients. In multivariate logistic regression analysis, no MSDs (p > 0.05) were significantly associated with in-hospital mortality. However, in-hospital mortality was 12.73 times higher in users of strong opioids (odds ratio: 12.73, 95% confidence interval: 2.44-16.64; p = 0.002), while use of paracetamol (p = 0.973), gabapentin or pregabalin (p = 0.424), glucocorticoid (p = 0.673), NSAIDs (p = 0.979), weak opioids (p = 0.876), and benzodiazepine (p = 0.324) was not associated with in-hospital mortality. In South Korea, underlying MSDs were not associated with increased in-hospital mortality among patients with COVID-19. However, use of strong opioids was significantly associated with increased in-hospital mortality among the patients.

Association of chronic musculoskeletal pain with mortality among UK adults: A population-based cohort study with mediation analysis.

Project description:BackgroundWe aimed to quantify the association between chronic musculoskeletal pain and all-cause mortality, and to investigate the extent to which this association is mediated by physical activity, smoking status, alcohol consumption, and opioid use.MethodsFor this population-based cohort study, we used data from UK Biobank, UK between baseline visit (2006-2010) to 18th December 2020. We assessed the associations between chronic musculoskeletal pain and all-cause mortality using a Cox proportional hazards model. We performed causal mediation analyses to examine the proportion of the association between chronic musculoskeletal pain and all-cause mortality.FindingsOf the 384,367 included participants, a total of 187,269 participants reported chronic musculoskeletal pain. Higher number of pain sites was associated with increased risk of all-cause mortality compared to having no pain (e.g., four sites vs no site of pain, Hazard Ratio [HR] 1.46, 95% Confidence Interval [CI] 1.35 to 1.57). The multiple mediator analyses showed that the mediating proportions of all four mediators ranged from 53.4% to 122.6%: among participants with two or more pain sites, the effect estimate reduced substantially, for example, HR reduced from 1.25 (95% CI: 1.21 to 1.30; two pain sites) to 1.07 (95% CI: 1.01 to 1.11; two pain sites).InterpretationWe found that higher number of pain sites was associated with increased risk of all-cause mortality compared to having no pain, and at least half of the association of chronic musculoskeletal pain with increased all-cause mortality may be accounted for by four mediators.FundingTwins Research Australia.

Incidence and Mortality Associated with Cardiovascular Medication among Hypertensive COVID-19 Patients in South Korea.

Project description:PurposeWe aimed to investigate whether the use of cardiovascular drugs in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients with hypertension as a comorbidity has a significant effect on the incidence and associated mortality rate of COVID-19.Materials and methodsData covering the period between January 1, 2020 and June 4, 2020 were extracted from The National Health Insurance Service-COVID-19 (NHIS-COVID-19) database in South Korea and analyzed as a population-based cohort study.ResultsA total of 101657 hypertensive adults aged 20 years or older were included for final analysis. Among them, 1889 patients (1.9%) were diagnosed with COVID-19 between January 1, 2020 and June 4, 2020, and hospital mortality occurred in 193 patients (10.2%). In a multivariable model, the use of beta-blockers was associated with an 18% lower incidence of COVID-19 [odds ratio (OR): 0.82, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.69-0.98; p=0.029]. Among 1889 hypertensive patients diagnosed with COVID-19, the use of a calcium channel blocker (CCB) was associated with a 42% lower hospital mortality rate (OR: 0.58, 95% CI: 0.38-0.89; p=0.012). The use of other cardiovascular drugs was not associated with the incidence of COVID-19 or hospital mortality rate among COVID-19 patients. Similar results were observed in all 328374 adults in the NHIS-COVID-19 database, irrespective of the presence of hypertension.ConclusionIn South Korea, beta-blockers exhibited potential benefits in lowering the incidence of COVID-19 among hypertensive patients. Furthermore, CCBs may lower the hospital mortality rate among hypertensive COVID-19 patients. These findings were also applied to the general adult population, regardless of hypertension.

Sex-specific difference of in-hospital mortality from COVID-19 in South Korea.

Project description:We sought to assess the impact of sex on in-hospital mortality of patients with COVID-19 infection in South Korea. The study recruited 5,628 prospective consecutive patients who were hospitalized in South Korea with COVID-19 infection, and enrolled in the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (KCDC) dataset between January 20, 2020, and April 30, 2020. The primary endpoint was in-hospital death from COVID-19. The cohort comprised of 3,308 women (59%) and 2,320 men (41%). In-hospital death was significantly lower in women than men (3.5% vs. 5.5%, hazard ratio (HR): 0.61; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.47 to 0.79, p <0.001). Results were consistent after multivariable regression (HR: 0.59; 95% CI: 0.41 to 0.85, p = 0.023) and propensity score matching (HR: 0.51; 95% CI: 0.30 to 0.86, p = 0.012). In South Korea, women had a significantly lower risk of in-hospital death amongst those patients hospitalized with COVID-19 infection.

Epidemiologic study of in-hospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation among pediatric patients: A retrospective, population-based cohort study in South Korea.

Project description:We aimed to examine the clinical trends of in-hospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ICPR) and factors associated with live discharge following ICPR. As a national population-based cohort study, data were extracted from the South Korean National Inpatient Database. This study included 8992 pediatric patients under 18 years of age who underwent ICPR due to in-hospital cardiac arrest during hospitalization in South Korea between 2010 and 2019 (10 years). The annual prevalence, survival, duration of hospitalization, and total cost of hospitalization at ICPR were examined as clinical trends. In 2010, 7.94 per 100,000 pediatric patients received ICPR; the prevalence increased to 11.51 per 100,000 pediatric patients in 2019. The 10-year survival rates were similar, and the in-hospital, 6-month, and 1-year survival rates over 10 years were 44.0%, 34.0%, and 32.4%, respectively. The mean length of hospital stay at ICPR in 2010 was 20.7 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 19.3-22.2) days; this decreased to 16.6 (95% CI: 15.2-18.0) days in 2019. The mean total cost at ICPR was 11,081.1 (95% CI: 10,216.2-11,946.1) United States Dollars (USD) in 2010; this increased to 22,629.4 (95% CI: 20,588.3-24,670.5) USD in 2019. The prevalence of ICPR increased among pediatric patients in South Korea between 2010 and 2019; however, the survival rates were similar for the 10 years. The length of hospital stay at ICPR gradually decreased from 2010 through 2019, while the total cost of hospitalization at ICPR has gradually increased between 2010 and 2019.

Impacts of Symptomatic HIV Infection on In-Hospital Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Outcomes:  A Population-Based Cohort Study in South Korea.

Project description:BackgroundThe impact of HIV infection on survival outcomes after in-hospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ICPR) remains controversial. This study aimed to investigate the impacts of HIV infection on both short-term and long-term outcomes after ICPR.MethodsThis nationwide, population-based cohort study used data taken from the South Korean National Health Insurance Service database. All adult (≥18 years old) patients who experienced ICPR between January 1, 2010, and December 31, 2019, were included.ResultsA total of 298 676 adult patients who underwent ICPR were initially included in the analysis. Among them, 586 (0.2%) patients were assigned to the patients with symptomatic HIV infection (PWH) group, while 298 090 (99.8%) patients were assigned to the control group. After 1:10 propensity score (PS) matching, 586 patients in the PWH group and 5845 patients in the control group were included in the analysis. Logistic regression analysis after PS matching showed that the PWH group had a 20% lower live discharge rate after ICPR compared with the control group (odds ratio, 0.80; 95% CI, 0.65-0.97; P = .024). However, Cox regression analysis after PS matching showed that the risks of 6-month survival (hazard ratio [HR], 1.01; 95% CI, 0.93-1.11; P = .768) and 1-year survival (HR, 1.02; 95% CI, 0.93-1.11; P = .702) were not significantly different between the PWH and control groups.ConclusionsAlthough the PWH group showed lower live discharge rates compared with the control group after ICPR, long-term survival outcomes from 6 months and 1 year were not significantly different.

Relationship between Cataract Surgery and Mortality in Elderly Patients with Cataract: Nationwide Population-Based Cohort Study in South Korea.

Project description:We aimed to investigate the relationship between cataract surgery and all-cause and cause-specific mortality in Korean elderly patients with cataract using the Korean National Health Insurance Service-Senior cohort database. Elderly patients (≥60 years) diagnosed with cataract from 2002 through 2012 were included. The baseline characteristics included demographics and systemic and ocular comorbidities. Adjusted Cox regression models with time-varying covariates for cataract surgery were used to assess the relationship between cataract surgery and mortality. The study cohort included 241,062 patients, of whom 127,941 were in the cataract surgery group and 113,121 were in the cataract diagnosis group. The incidence of all-cause mortality was 3.62 deaths/100 person-years and 3.19 deaths/100 person-years in the cataract surgery and cataract diagnosis groups, respectively. Cataract surgery was associated with a decreased hazard of all-cause mortality after adjusting for demographics as well as systemic and ocular comorbidities (hazard ratio (HR), 0.93; p < 0.001). A protective association was noted between cataract surgery and mortality from vascular (HR, 0.92; p < 0.001) or neurologic (HR, 0.64; p < 0.001) causes. Patients with cataract who were 85 years of age and older, women, those who had lower income, and a Charlson comorbidity index score of 5 or more, or those without glaucoma revealed the largest reductions in mortality hazards resulting from cataract surgery.

Association between preoperative modifiable lifestyle factors and mortality after cancer surgery: a population-based cohort study in South Korea.

Project description:PurposeWe aimed to examine whether preoperative lifestyle factors are associated with mortality after cancer surgery.MethodsThis study used data from the National Health Insurance Service database in South Korea. We included all adult patients who underwent major cancer surgery between January 1, 2016, and December 31, 2018. Three lifestyle factors were evaluated preoperatively: smoking status, alcohol consumption, and physical activity.ResultsA total of 48,557 patients who underwent major cancer surgery were included in the final analysis. In the multivariable logistic regression modeling, current smokers showed 1.40-fold higher odds of 90-day mortality after cancer surgery (odds ratio, 1.40; 95% confidence interval, 1.14-1.71; P = 0.001) than never smokers. However, alcohol consumption and physical activity were not associated with 90-day mortality after cancer surgery. In the multivariable Cox regression modeling, current smokers showed 1.25-fold higher odds of 1-year mortality after cancer surgery (hazard ratio, 1.25; 95% confidence interval, 1.13-1.38; P < 0.001) than never smokers. However, alcohol consumption and physical activity were not associated with 1-year mortality after cancer surgery.ConclusionIn conclusion, current smoking was associated with worse short- and long-term survival outcomes in South Korea, though preoperative alcohol consumption and physical activity levels were not associated with mortality after cancer surgery.

The effect of menopausal hormone therapy on gastrointestinal cancer risk and mortality in South Korea: a population-based cohort study.

Project description:BackgroundThe effect of menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) on gastrointestinal (GI) cancers is controversial, and no research has been conducted in the East. This study investigates the association between MHT and GI cancer risks in South Korea.MethodsA prescription-based cohort study was conducted using the NHIS Sample Cohort (2002-2013) of Korea. We used 1:5 propensity score matching, and 22,577 MHT users and 111,113 non-users were selected. Kaplan-Meier survival curves with log-rank tests were used. Cox proportional hazard models were used to estimate hazard ratios (HR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI). Landmark analysis was used to determine dose-response relationship.ResultsThe median follow-up was 79.6 of months. Kaplan-Meier survival curve showed less frequent GI cancer diagnoses in MHT users compared to non-users (0.13 vs. 0.16 per 100,000 person-years). Menopausal hormone therapy was associated with decreased incidence of GI cancer (HR = 0.809, 95%CI = 0.691-0.946) and colorectal cancer (CRC) (HR = 0.757, 95%CI = 0.577-0.995). Gastric cancer (GC) incidence showed marginal significance (HR = 0.787, 95%CI = 0.605-1.023). The mortality from GI cancer was lower in MHT users than in non-users (HR = 0.737, 95%CI = 0.547-0.993). The relationship between MHT and GI cancer was stronger with increasing MHT dose in terms of both incidence (Ptrend = 0.0002) and mortality (Ptrend = 0.0064).ConclusionsThe association between MHT use and reduced risks of GI cancers was attributed to CRC and GC and showed a dose-response relationship in a population-based cohort study.

Age, Period, and Cohort Effects on Suicide Mortality in South Korea, 1992?2015.

Project description:Although the effects of age, period, and cohort (APC) on suicide are important, previous work in this area may have been invalid because of an identification problem. We analyzed these effects under three different scenarios to identify vulnerable groups and thus overcame the identification problem. We extracted the annual numbers of suicides from the National Death Register of Korea (1992?2015) and estimated the APC effects. The annual average suicide rates in 1992?2015 were 31.5 and 14.7 per 100,000 males and females, respectively. The APC effects on suicide were similar in both sexes. The age effect was clearly higher in older subjects, in contrast to the minimal changes apparent during earlier adulthood. The birth cohort effect showed an inverted U shape; a higher cohort effect was evident in females born in the early 1980s when period drift was larger than 3.7%/year. Period effect increased sharply during the early 1990s and 2000s. We found that elderly and young females may be at a particularly high risk of suicide in Korea.

Hospital Case Volume, Health Care Providers, and Mortality in Patients Undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting: a Nationwide Cohort Study in South Korea.

Project description:Background and objectivesSurgical quality is evaluated by measuring the annual hospital case volume; a higher case volume is associated with better survival after various surgeries. We aimed to investigate if the annual hospital case volume and the health care providers were associated with a 90-day mortality after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).MethodsFor this population-based cohort study, we used data from a National Health Insurance Service database in South Korea. We included all adult patients diagnosed with ischemic heart disease who underwent isolated CABG between January 2012 and December 2017. Data on the annual surgical volume for CABG in each hospital where the patients received CABG and the total number of health care providers (including physicians [trainees and specialists] from all department of the hospitals, nurses, and pharmacists) were collected.ResultsThe final analysis included 15,790 adult patients; of these, 1,039 (6.6%) died within 90 days. The annual CABG volume was divided into 4 groups (Q1: ≤33, Q2: 34-86, Q3: 87-223, and Q4: ≥224). Multivariable Cox regression analysis revealed that the 90-day mortality rates in the Q4, Q3, Q2 groups were 75%, 32%, and 31% lower than that in the Q1 group, respectively. Additionally, an increase in the ratio of the total number of specialist physicians to 100 hospital beds was associated with a 4% decrease in the 90-day mortality after CABG.ConclusionBoth, a higher annual hospital case volume and overall specialist physician volume were associated with better 90-day mortality rates after isolated CABG.
