Ming-Hung Chien; How-Ran Guo

PLoS ONE, Vol. 9 No. 3 · 2014 · Inggris · PLOS Scopus

Background: Falls are common in older people and may lead to functional decline, disability, and death. Many risk factors have been identified, but studies evaluating effects of nutritional status are limited. To determine whether nutritional status is a predictor of falls in older people living in…

Epidemiological Characteristics of Lower Extremity Cellulitis after a Typhoon Flood

Pei-Chen Lin; Hung-Jung Lin; How-Ran Guo dkk.

PLoS ONE, Vol. 8 No. 6 · 2013 · Inggris · PLOS Scopus

Objective: The flood after a typhoon may lead to increase in patients with cellulitis of lower limbs. However, the microbiological features of these cases are rarely reported. We conducted a study of patients with lower extremity cellulitis after a typhoon followed in southern Taiwan to study the…

Survival of glioblastoma treated with a moderately escalated radiation dose—Results of a retrospective analysis

Li-Tsun Shieh; How-Ran Guo; Chung-Han Ho dkk.

PLOS ONE, Vol. 15 No. 5 · 2020 · Inggris · PLOS Scopus

Glioblastoma (GBM) has the highest fatality rate among primary malignant brain tumors and typically tends to recur locally just adjacent to the original tumor site following surgical resection and adjuvant radiotherapy. We conducted a study to evaluate the survival outcomes between a standard dose…

External validation of geriatric influenza death score: A multicenter study

Yuan Kao; Wei-Jing Lee; Kang-Ting Tsai dkk.

PLOS ONE, Vol. 18 No. 3 · 2023 · Inggris · PLOS Scopus

The Geriatric Influenza Death (GID) score was developed to help decision making in older patients with influenza in the emergency department (ED), but external validation is unavailable. Thus, we conducted a study was to fill the data gap. We recruited all older patients (≥65 years) who visited the…

A Stabilization Device That Promotes the Efficiency of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation during Ambulance Transportation to the Level as under Non-Moving Conditions

Ning-Ping Foo; Jer-Hao Chang; Shih-Bin Su dkk.

PLoS ONE, Vol. 9 No. 10 · 2014 · Inggris · PLOS Scopus

Background: The survival rate of patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest is low, and measures to improve the quality of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) during ambulance transportation are desirable. We designed a stabilization device, and in a randomized crossover trial we found performing…

Acute Myocardial Infarction Risk in Patients with Coronary Artery Disease Doubled after Upper Gastrointestinal Tract Bleeding: A Nationwide Nested Case-Control Study

Chia-Jung Wu; Hung-Jung Lin; Shih-Feng Weng dkk.

PLOS ONE, Vol. 10 No. 11 · 2015 · Inggris · PLOS Scopus

Prior studies of upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) and acute myocardial infarction (AMI) are small, and long-term effects of UGIB on AMI have not been delineated. We investigated whether UGIB in patients diagnosed with coronary artery disease (CAD) increased their risk of subsequent AMI. This…

Peptic Ulcer Disease in Healthcare Workers: A Nationwide Population-Based Cohort Study

Hong-Yue Lin; Shih-Feng Weng; Hung-Jung Lin dkk.

PLOS ONE, Vol. 10 No. 8 · 2015 · Inggris · PLOS Scopus

Health care workers (HCWs) in Taiwan have heavy, stressful workloads, are on-call, and have rotating nightshifts, all of which might contribute to peptic ulcer disease (PUD). We wanted to evaluate the PUD risk in HCWs, which is not clear. Using Taiwan’s National Health Insurance Research Database…

Association between Blood Dioxin Level and Chronic Kidney Disease in an Endemic Area of Exposure

Chien-Yuan Huang; Cheng-Long Wu; Jin-Shang Wu dkk.

PLOS ONE, Vol. 11 No. 3 · 2016 · Inggris · PLOS Scopus

Background: Dioxin is an industrial pollutant related to various diseases, but epidemiological data on its effects on the kidney are limited. Therefore, we conducted a study to evaluate the association between dioxin exposure and chronic kidney disease (CKD) and identify the related factors…

Lack of Pupil Reflex and Loss of Consciousness Predict 30-Day Neurological Sequelae in Patients with Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

Jian-Fang Zou; Qiming Guo; Hua Shao dkk.

PLOS ONE, Vol. 10 No. 3 · 2015 · Inggris · PLOS Scopus

Background: Predicting the neurological sequelae of carbon monoxide poisoning (COP) has not been well studied. We investigated the independent predictors of neurological sequelae in patients with COP and combined these predictors to predict the prognosis. Methods: This study was conducted at four…
