Nationwide temporal trend analysis of reperfusion therapy utilization and mortality in acute ischemic stroke patients in Japan
This study aimed to elucidate nationwide trends in reperfusion therapy utilization and subsequent 30-day mortality in acute ischemic stroke patients in Japan. The analysis focused on intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (IV rt-PA) and endovascular thrombectomy (EVT).
Using health insurance claims data, we calculated the age- and sex-adjusted monthly number of acute ischemic stroke patients who received IV rt-PA and/or EVT in Japan from April 2010 to March 2016, and investigated the 30-day all-cause mortality rates after undergoing these therapies. Through an interrupted time-series analysis, we examined ...

Trends and outcomes of device-related 30-day readmissions after left ventricular assist device implantation.
CONCLUSION: Over one-fourth of LVAD recipients have 30-day readmissions, with most of them occurring within 15 days. Most frequent cause of readmission was gastrointestinal bleeding, which was associated with the lowest in-hospital mortality among other complications.

Association between periodontitis and bipolar disorder: A nationwide cohort study
Whether periodontitis is a risk factor for developing bipolar disorders (BD) has not been investigated. We aimed to determine whether periodontitis is associated with the subsequent development of BD and examine the risk factors for BD among patients with periodontitis.
Using ambulatory and inpatient claims data from the National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD), we identified 12,337 patients who were aged at least 20 years and newly diagnosed with periodontitis between 2000 and 2004. The date of the first claim with a periodontitis diagnosis was set as the index date. For each patient with periodontitis, 4 subj...

Mediation effect of herpes zoster derived by statin use on cardiovascular disease risk.
Conclusions: This study showed that statin use reduced CVD by 10%, but the protective effect of statin use against CVD was mitigated by approximately 10% through the development of HZ caused by statin use.

All-cause mortality and the risk of stroke with selective aspiration thrombectomy in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention: A nationwide retrospective cohort study
Few data exist on the clinical outcomes of selective aspiration thrombectomy during primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI).
This was a nationwide retrospective cohort study. Patients who were diagnosed with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and received primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) from July 2009 to December 2011 were identified from the National Health Insurance Research Database of Taiwan. Propensity score weighting was used to balance the covariates between the 2 study groups. The primary endpoints were all-cause mortality and stroke during hospitalization and at 30 days and 1 ye...

Gender differences in major adverse cardiovascular outcomes among aged over 60 year-old patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease: A population-based longitudinal study in Taiwan
Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) including cerebrovascular disease (CVD), coronary artery disease (CAD), and peripheral arterial disease (PAD), contributes to the major causes of death in the world. Although several studies have evaluated the association between gender and major adverse cardiovascular outcomes in old ASCVD patients, the result is not consistent. Hence, we need a large-scale study to address this issue.
This retrospective cohort study included aged over 60 year-old patients with a diagnosis of ASCVD, including CVD, CAD, or PAD, from the database contained in the Taiwan National Health Insuran...

Statins reduce new-onset atrial fibrillation after acute myocardial infarction: A nationwide study
The objective of this study was to investigate whether statins confer a beneficial effect on AF after AMI.
Data available in the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database on 32886 AMI patients between 2008 and 2011 were retrospectively analyzed. Total 27553 (83.8%) had complete 1-yr follow-up data. Cardiovascular outcomes were analyzed based on the baseline characteristics and AF type (existing, new-onset, or non-AF). AF groups had significantly higher incidence of heart failure (HF), stroke, all-cause death, and major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular event (MACCE) after index AMI (all P

Do rheumatoid arthritis patients have more major complications and length of stay after lower extremities fracture surgery?: A nationwide data with propensity score matching
Patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) have a high risk of cardiovascular diseases and fractures. This retrospective cohort study explored whether patients with RA face higher complication risks or longer hospital stays than other patients when they had a lower limb fracture that required the surgery. Patients aged>45 years who received lower limb fracture surgeries between 2005 and 2012 were selected from the National Health Insurance Research Database, and 10 related variables including sex and age were used in propensity score matching to pair RA patients with non-RA patients in a 1:4 ratio. The final study sample comp...
