Effects of physician's specialty on regular chronic kidney disease care in predialysis: A population-based cross-sectional study
Late referral in chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with irregular care and poor prognosis. How the specialty of healthcare provider affect late referral and irregular CKD care remain unclear.
We conducted a population-based cross-sectional study to include incident dialysis patients from 2002 to 2007 in Taiwan and observed for 1, 2, and 3 years before dialysis. The medical visits-related information was evaluated every 3 months, retrospectively. Irregular follow-up was defined as missing a follow-up during more than one interval every year.
A total of 46,626 patients were included. At 1, 2, and 3 years prior to ...

A long-term quality-of-care score for predicting the occurrence of macrovascular diseases in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is prevalent worldwide, and the number of patients was estimated to be 382 million in 2013 and expected to rise to 592 million by 2035 [1]. In Taiwan, around 7% of the total population (about 1.6 million) had DM in 2012, 90% of whom had type 2 diabetes mellitus. DM has been among the top five leading causes of death in Taiwan for more than three decades and took up about 11.5% of the total healthcare expenditures in the recent years [2]. In addition, DM is associated with a 2-4 times higher risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and stroke, which are the leading causes of death and disability among peo...

Long-term outcomes of percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: a 13-year nationwide cohort study
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is associated with increased risk of coronary atherosclerosis. However, its impact on the long-term outcomes in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has not been described. Using the National Health Insurance Research Database of Taiwan, we identified 215275 adult patients who underwent first-time PCI between 2000 and 2012. Among them, the outcomes of patients with COPD (n = 24900) and without COPD (n = 190375) were compared. Baseline demographics and 13-year overall mortality and adverse cardiac outcomes after PCI (i.e., ischemic events, repeat revascula...

Trends and factors associated with antipsychotic use among elderly patients with dementia in Taiwan from 2005 to 2013: a population-based study
This study aimed to examine the trends and factors associated with antipsychotic prescriptions for elderly outpatients with dementia in Taiwan from 2005 to 2013. We assessed the annual prescription patterns of antipsychotic medications among elderly patients attending outpatient visits for dementia between 2005 and 2013 using the National Health Insurance Research Database in Taiwan. We also carried out logistic regression analyses to test the trends and associated factors. We found that any antipsychotic prescriptions for elderly patients making visits for dementia increased slightly, from 25.5 to 26.5%, over the 9-year p...
