Impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic on the incidence of other infectious diseases in the hematology hospital in Korea
CONCLUSIONS: The implementation of COVID-19 infection control measures reduced the incidence of cRV infection. However, CDI increased significantly and incidence rates of CPE and VRE remained unchanged in hematological patients after the pandemic. Infection control measures suitable for each type of HCAI, such as stringent hand washing for CDI and enough isolation capacities, should be implemented and maintained in future pandemics, especially in immunocompromised patients.PMID:38649159 | DOI:10.3904/kjim.2023.508 (Source: The Korean Journal of Internal Medicine)

Impact of an expanded reimbursement policy on utilization of implantable loop recorders in patients with cryptogenic stroke in Korea
CONCLUSIONS: The expanded coverage policy for CS had a significant impact on the number of ILR implantation for CS indication. The diagnostic yield of ILR for AF/AFL detection seems better when ILR is implanted within 2 months than later. Further investigation is needed to demonstrate other clinical benefits and the optimal ILR implantation timing.PMID:38632895 | DOI:10.3904/kjim.2023.479 (Source: The Korean Journal of Internal Medicine)

Risk factors for progressing to critical illness in patients with hospital-acquired COVID-19
CONCLUSIONS: Among patients with hospital-acquired COVID-19, preexisting respiratory disease, preexisting cardiovascular disease, immunocompromised status, and higher clinical frailty scale and SOFA scores at baseline were risk factors for progression to critical illness. Patients with these risk factors must be prioritized and appropriately isolated or treated in a timely manner, especially in pandemic settings.PMID:38632896 | DOI:10.3904/kjim.2023.347 (Source: The Korean Journal of Internal Medicine)
