Cost-Utility Analysis for Colorectal Cancer Screening According to the Initiating Age of National Cancer Screening Program in Korea
CONCLUSION: The screening method for advancing the initiation age, as presented in the 2015 revised national screening recommendations, was superior regarding cost-effectiveness. This study provides a new paradigm for the development of a national cancer screening system in Korea, which can be utilized as a scientific basis for economic evaluations.PMID:38501184 | PMC:PMC10948257 | DOI:10.3346/jkms.2024.39.e98 (Source: Journal of Korean Medical Science)

Effect of Temperature Variation on the Incidence of Acute Myocardial Infarction
CONCLUSION: The AMI incidence rate per 100,000 year has a decreasing trend over the 10-year period, derived from the Korean NHIS database. Modest daily temperature differences (8-10°) and the spring season are related to higher AMI incidence, indicating that daily temperature variation is more important than the mean daily temperature.PMID:38501185 | PMC:PMC10948260 | DOI:10.3346/jkms.2024.39.e101 (Source: Journal of Korean Medical Science)

Transradial Versus Transfemoral Access for Bifurcation Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Using Second-Generation Drug-Eluting Stent
CONCLUSION: The findings suggested that TRA may be safer than TFA for bifurcation PCI using second-generation DESs. Despite differences in treatment strategy, TRA was associated with similar long-term clinical outcomes as those of TFA. Therefore, TRA might be the preferred access for bifurcation PCI using second-generation DES.TRIAL REGISTRATION: ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03068494.PMID:38501187 | PMC:PMC10948262 | DOI:10.3346/jkms.2024.39.e111 (Source: Journal of Korean Medical Science)

Characteristics According to Frailty Status Among Older Korean Patients With Hypertension
CONCLUSION: This study described the general clinical characteristics of older hypertensive patients in Korea. Frail hypertensive patients face challenges in achieving positive clinical outcomes because of multifactorial causes: they are older, have more morbidities, decreased function, lower quality of life and cognitive function, and take more antihypertensive medications. Therefore, it is essential to comprehensively evaluate and monitor disease-related or drug-related adverse events more frequently during regular check-ups, which is necessary for pre-frail to frail older patients with hypertension.TRIAL REGISTRATION: C...
