  • Hypertension is a major risk factor for myocardial infarction, stroke, and cardiovascular mortality in adults; its treatment reduces the risk of cardiovascular events. In recent times, attention is being paid to monitoring of blood pressure from childhood to adulthood. Childhood hypertension is associated with hypertension in later life, and early intervention is important. In the Korean socioeconomic background, a rapid increase is observed in the number of obesity cases and the rate of increase in the incidence of obesity is more in childhood. The strong association of high blood pressure with obesity and the marked increase in the incidence of childhood obesity indicate that both hypertension and prehypertension are becoming significant health issues. In this comprehensive review, we acquaint the clinician with the available literature on childhood hypertension to provide recommendations for the diagnosis, evaluation, and treatment of hypertension based on the available evidence and consensus in Korean clinical conditions.

  • Purpose: The study was to analyze clinical outcomes and risk factors of for complications associated with the hip fracture surgery in the elderly before and after interdisciplinary treatment. Methods: A retrospective method was used to investigate the general and therapeutic characteristics, frequency of complications and clinical outcomes. The subjects of the study were 553 patients who underwent hip fracture surgery from January, 2009 to December, 2014. Results: The interdisciplinary group was older and less likely to walk independently even before the fracture than a usual care group. The incidence of complications was higher in the interdisciplinary group than the usual care group. The prevalence of complications in both groups was 66.5%. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showsed that the risk factors for complications of hip fracture surgery were as follows: advanced age, stroke, Parkinson disease, time interval from emergency room to operation, pre & post ambulatory status, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) classification quality of postop intensive care unit (ICU) care and foley indwelling. Conclusion: This study has implications in that it recognized the necessity for interdisciplinary treatment and provided the basic base data for nursing intervention of the elderly patients who underwent hip fracture surgery.

  • 뇌졸중은 그 발병 자체가 치명적일 뿐만 아니라 다양한 합병증과 후유증을 야기하여 환자에게 심각한 신체적 정신적 고통을 남기고 장기적인 재활치료를 요구하며 환자 가족들에게까지 정신적 경제적 고통을 야기시킨다. 본 연구는 대구 S병원의 뇌졸중 환자들의 생활 패턴 및 식행동 특성을 분석하고 뇌졸중을 일으키는 생활 습관 및 식생활 관련 위험요인을 파악하여 지역민의 뇌졸중 예방을 위한 영양교육의 기초자료를 얻고자 수행되었다. 연구 내용은 뇌졸중 환자들의 일반 특성, 생활 습관 및 식태도 등의 내용을 포함한 설문지를 이용하여 조사자와 직접면접을 통하여 이루어졌다. 2005년 2월부터 8월까지 뇌졸중으로 대구 S병원의 신경외과 병동에 입원한 환자와 신경외과 외래를 정기적으로 방문하는 환자를 환자군으로 선정하였다. 환자군의 선별은 임상적 증상에 의해 신경외과 의사의 진단을 받은 30세 이상의 경우로 국한하였다. 환자군 36명에 대한 정상 대조군은 동일병원에 뇌졸중 질환이 없고, 환자와 유사한 조건의 건강한 환자 보호자 및 원내 직원 36명을 대상으로 하였으며, 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 1) 뇌졸중 환자군에서 체질량 질수(BMI)는 건강인과 비슷하였으나 WHR은 대조군에 비해 유의적으로 높게 나타났다. 2) 뇌졸중 환자의 동반질병으로는 고혈압, 당뇨병, 위장질환 순으로 높게 나타나, 고혈압은 뇌졸중 발병 위험을 높여주는 위험요인으로 사료된다. 3) 뇌졸중 환자는 과거 흡연가와 현재 흡연가의 비율이 대조군에 비해 유의적으로 높게 나타나, 흡연이 뇌졸중 발병 위험을 높이는 위험 요인으로 사료된다. 4) 주당 음주 횟수에 관한 조사 결과, 환자군이 대조군에 비해 유의적으로 높게 나타나, 음주횟수 및 음주량 증가가 뇌졸중 발병 위험을 높이는 요인 중 하나로 사료된다. 5) 뇌졸중 환자군의 식욕을 돋우는 입맛으로 짠맛이 유의적으로 높게 나타나, 뇌졸중 동반 질병인 고혈압과 짜게 먹는 식습관이 뇌졸중 발병에 밀접한 관계가 있는 것으로 사료된다. 결론적으로 본 연구 결과, 뇌졸중 환자에 있어서 위험요인은 복부 비만, 흡연, 음주, 운동 부족, 짜게 먹는 식습관과 관련이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 그러므로 올바른 생활 습관 및 식습관을 유지하고 다양한 식품을 규칙적으로 섭취하면 뇌졸중을 예방에 도움이 될 수 있을 것으로 여겨진다. 아울러, 뇌졸중의 위험인자 관리를 위한 식이요법의 중요성과 이에 대한 구체적인 식이요법 교육 프로그램과 실천이 절실히 필요하다. 뇌졸중은 발병 후 치료하기보다는 위험성을 증가시키는 여러 위험요소를 찾아내어 이를 관리하고 예방하는 것이 더욱 중요하다고 하겠다. 뇌졸중은 다른 질환과 달리 위험인자가 알려져 있고, 위험인자를 관리하느냐에 따라 예방이 가능하며, 또 이미 발병한 환자의 경우 재발 방지도 가능한 것으로 보고되고 있다. 이미 서구에서는 뇌졸중 예방을 위한 범국민적 교육을 통해 뇌졸중에 의한 사망률이 현저히 감소했으나, 우리나라의 경우는 그렇지 않다. 한국인 사망률의 수위를 차지하는 뇌졸중의 인한 재발 방지를 위해서는 획일적 영양교육보다 환자 개인에 적합한 개별적 영양교육이 이루어져야 할 것이다.

  • Objective To investigate the relationship between peak cough flow (PCF), pulmonary function tests (PFT), and severity of dysphagia in patients with ischemic stroke. Methods This study included patients diagnosed with ischemic stroke, who underwent videofluoroscopic swallowing study (VFSS), PCF and PFT from March 2016 to February 2017. The dysphagia severity was assessed using the videofluoroscopic dysphagia scale (VDS). Correlation analysis of VDS, PFT and PCF was performed. Patients were divided into three groups based on VDS score. One-way ANOVA of VDS was performed to analyze PCF, forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), and age among the different groups. Results The correlation coefficients of VDS and PCF, VDS and FVC, and VDS and FEV1 were -0.836, -0.508, and -0.430, respectively, all of which were statistically significant at the level of p<0.001. The one-way ANOVA indicated statistically significant differences in PCF, FVC, FEV1, and age among the VDS groups. Statistically significant differences in VDS and age were observed between aspiration pneumoia and non-aspiration pneumonia groups. Conclusion Coughing is a useful factor in evaluating the risk of aspiration in dysphagia patients. Evaluation of respiratory and coughing function should be conducted during the swallowing assessment of patients with ischemic stroke.

  • Objectives: The objective of this study was to determine the effect of atrial fibrillation (AF) on the risk of dementia in the Korean elderly. Methods: A 10-year retrospective cohort study was conducted using the National Health Insurance Service-Senior Cohort database. We excluded those who were under 65 years of age as of January 2006 (n=46 113), those who were diagnosed with dementia between 2002 and 2005 (n=9086), and those with a history of stroke prior to AF diagnosis (n=8392). We used a Cox proportional hazards model with a time-varying covariate to determine whether AF is associated with the risk of dementia after adjusting for potential confounders. Results: In univariable Cox regression, the hazard ratio (HR) of dementia according to AF status was 1.28 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.23 to 1.33). After adjusting for potential confounders, AF was found to increase the risk of dementia (HR, 1.12; 95% CI, 1.07 to 1.17), Alzheimer dementia (HR, 1.12; 95% CI, 1.07 to 1.17), and vascular dementia (HR, 1.10; 95% CI, 1.03 to 1.18). In patients diagnosed with AF, the incidence of dementia was lower (HR, 0.50; 95% CI, 0.47 to 0.52) in patients who were treated with oral anticoagulants. Conclusions: Investigating the potential risk factors of dementia in an aged society is important. We found a slightly higher risk of dementia in those with AF than in those without AF, and we therefore concluded that AF is a potential risk factor for dementia.

  • Background: Gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN) is a spectrum of disease with abnormal trophoblastic proliferation. Treatment is based on FIGO stage and WHO risk factor scores. Patients whose score is 12 or more are considered as at extremely high risk with a high likelihood of resistance to first line treatment. Optimal therapy is therefore controversial. Objective: This study was conducted in order to summarize the regimen used for extremely high risk or resistant GTN patients in our institution the in past 10 years. Materials and Methods: All the charts of GTN patients classified as extremely high risk, recurrent or resistant during 1 January 2002 to 31 December 2011 were reviewed. Criteria for diagnosis of GTN were also assessed to confirm the diagnosis. FIGO stage and WHO risk prognostic score were also re-calculated to ensure the accuracy of the information. Patient characteristics were reviewed in the aspects of age, weight, height, BMI, presenting symptoms, metastatic area, lesions, FIGO stage, WHO risk factor score, serum hCG level, treatment regimen, adjuvant treatments, side effects and response to treatment, including disease free survival. Results: Eight patients meeting the criteria of extremely high risk or resistant GTN were included in this review. Mean age was 33.6 years (SD=13.5, range 17-53). Of the total, 3 were stage III (37.5%) and 5 were stage IV (62.5%). Mean duration from previous pregnancies to GTN was 17.6 months (SD 9.9). Mean serum hCG level was 864,589 mIU/ml (SD 98,151). Presenting symptoms of the patients were various such as hemoptysis, abdominal pain, headache, heavy vaginal bleeding and stroke. The most commonly used first line chemotherapeutic regimen in our institution was the VAC regimen which was given to 4 of 8 patients in this study. The most common second line chemotherapy was EMACO. Adjuvant radiation was given to most of the patients who had brain metastasis. Most of the patients have to delay chemotherapy for 1-2 weeks due to grade 2-3 leukopenia and require G-CSF to rescue from neutropenia. Five form 8 patients were still survived. Mean of disease free survival was 20.4 months. Two patients died of the disease, while another one patient died from sepsis of pressure sore wound. None of surviving patients developed recurrence of disease after complete treatment. Conclusions: In extremely high risk GTN patients, main treatment is multi-agent chemotherapy. In our institution, we usually use VAC as a first line treatment of high risk GTN, but since resistance is quite common, this may not suitable for extremely high risk GTN patients. The most commonly used second line multi-agent chemotherapy in our institution is EMA-CO. Adjuvant brain radiation was administered to most of the patients with brain metastasis in our institution. The survival rate is comparable to previous reviews. Our treatment demonstrated differences from other institutions but the survival is comparable. The limitation of this review is the number of cases is small due to rarity of the disease. Further trials or multicenter analyses may be considered.

  • Objective: Due to longer life spans, patients newly diagnosed with unruptured intracranial aneurysms (UIAs) are increasing in number. This study aimed to evaluate how management of UIAs in patients age 65 years and older affects the clinical outcomes and post-procedural morbidity rates in these patients. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 109 patients harboring 136 aneurysms across 12 years, between 1997 and 2009, at our institute. We obtained the following data from all patients: age, sex, location and size of the aneurysm(s), presence of symptoms, risk factors for stroke, treatment modality, and postoperative 1-year morbidity and mortality. We classified these patients into three groups: Group A (surgical clipping), Group B (coil embolization), and Group C (observation only). Results: Among the 109 patients, 56 (51.4%) underwent clipping treatment, 25 (23%) patients were treated with coiling, and 28 observation only. The overall morbidity and mortality rates were 2.46% and 0%, respectively. The morbidity rate was 1.78% for Clipping and 4% for coiling. Factors such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hypercholesterolemia, smoking, and family history of stroke were correlated with unfavorable outcomes. Two in the observation group refused follow-up and died of intracranial ruptured aneurysms. The observation group had a 7% mortality rate. Conclusion: Our results show acceptable favorable outcome of treatment-related morbidity comparing with the natural history of unruptured cerebral aneurysm. Surgical clipping did not lead to inferior outcomes in our study, although coil embolization is generally more popular for treating elderly patients, In the treatment of patients more than 65 years old, age is not the limiting factor.
