The ETNA-VTE-KOR-TWN study: Real-world outcomes of edoxaban use in patients with venous thromboembolism in South Korea and Taiwan Won-Il Choi, Kuan-Ming Chiu, Hang-Jae Jang, Jung-Hyun Choi, Won-Yeon Lee, Kye-Hun Kim, Pei-Ying Pai, Wei-Tien Chang, Ching-Pei Chen, Matthew Clasen, Katharina Wenz-Poeschl, Thomas Malzer, Martin Unverdorben, Ulrike Thee, Eva-Maria Fronk Thrombosis Update, 2026 ABSTRACT Introduction Long-term (>6 months), real-world evidence on the effectiveness and safety of edoxaban for venous thromboembolism (VTE) management including data from South Korea and Taiwan remain limited. The global ETNA-VTE programme evaluated real-world outcomes of edoxaban-treated patients. Materials and methods ETNA-VTE-KOR-TWN was a multi-centre (20-site), prospective, observational, non-interventional, single-arm registry study (NCT02952599) evaluating edoxaban in patients with acute VTE (initial/recurrent), followed up for 12 months. Effectiveness outcomes—including VTE recurrence—safety, bleeding events, and hospitalisations were analysed and annualised rates (%/year) reported. Results Of 352 patients enrolled, 277 met inclusion criteria for the FAS (Taiwan: 119/277 [43.0%]; South Korea: 158/277 [57.0%]). The most prevalent index VTE was pulmonary embolism (n=133), followed by deep vein thrombosis (n=89) and both (n=55). Most patients received the 60-mg dose (67.1%), and these patients were younger (median age, 65 vs 76 years), with higher body weight (mean, 71.2 vs 58.3 kg) vs the 30-mg group. The overall annual VTE recurrence rate was 3.9%/y: it was 2.5%/y vs 6.9%/y in the 60-mg vs 30-mg group. None of the all-cause deaths (n=21) in the overall analysis were due to VTE. Hospitalisations due to cardiovascular-related events occurred in 25/277 patients (11.3%/y). Ischaemic/haemorrhagic stroke occurred in 2/277 patients (0.9%/y); overall bleeding events occurred in 29/277 patients (13.4%/y); and major bleeding events occurred in 3/277 patients (1.3%/y) in the overall analysis. The effectiveness and safety of edoxaban should be interpreted with caution due to the lack of a direct comparator arm including other oral anticoagulants. Conclusions Rates of VTE recurrence, bleeding complications, and deaths in patients from South Korea and Taiwan were low and consistent with RCTs.
Association between antibiotic prescriptions for acute upper respiratory infections and pneumonia among older adults: a nationwide cohort study Seung-Hyun Kim, In-So Cho, Min-Seok Chang, Iseul Yu, Sunmin Park, Ji-Ho Lee, Seok Jeong Lee, Won-Yeon Lee, Sang-Ha Kim BMC Geriatrics, 2025 BACKGROUND: Antibiotics are frequently prescribed for acute upper respiratory infections (URIs) despite limited evidence of their effectiveness, particularly in older individuals. Understanding the potential associations of such prescriptions with subsequent health outcomes is critical for clinical decision-making. This study investigated the association between antibiotic prescription and pneumonia diagnosis among older adults with acute URIs in the Republic of Korea. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective analysis using national health insurance claims data from January 1, 2018, to December 31, 2018. The study included 5,898,239 prescription units from 3,059,864 patients aged ≥ 65 years diagnosed with acute URIs. Antibiotic prescription status, pneumonia diagnoses, and patient characteristics such as age, sex, and comorbidities were analyzed. Multivariate logistic regression was used to evaluate associations with pneumonia diagnoses. RESULTS: Of all prescription units analyzed, 34.4% included antibiotics. Pneumonia was diagnosed in 7.1% of all units, with a higher proportion in the antibiotic group (8.1%) than in the non-antibiotic group (6.6%). After adjusting for age, sex, and comorbidities, antibiotic prescription was associated with a 1.3-fold higher likelihood of pneumonia diagnosis. Higher odds of pneumonia were also observed in men, older individuals, and those with chronic conditions such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, heart failure, cancer, ischemic heart disease, and diabetes. CONCLUSIONS: Among older adults with acute URIs, antibiotic prescriptions were associated with a higher prevalence of pneumonia diagnoses. These findings highlight the importance of cautious antibiotic prescribing in this population and consideration of individual comorbidities.
Low levels of serum albumin and blood basophils as 10-year mortality predictors in a nationwide Korean COPD cohort Hye Jung Park, Yeseul Song, Youlim Kim, June Hong Ahn, Chang Youl Lee, Deog Kyeom Kim, Ji-Yong Moon, Won-Yeon Lee, Kwang Ha Yoo, Min Kwang Byun Scientific Reports, 2025 Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the third leading cause of death worldwide, with rising mortality rates. This study aimed to identify serologic or blood markers associated with mortality prediction in patients with COPD. We analyzed 10-year follow-up cohort data from the Korea COPD Subgroup Study, which included patients from 54 university hospitals in South Korea. Baseline characteristics and blood samples were collected at enrollment. Data on all-cause mortality and death dates were retrieved from the National Health Information System as of June 11, 2024. Among 1,878 patients with COPD, 309 (16.5%) died over the 10-year follow-up period. Multiple Cox regression analysis identified hemoglobin (hazard ratio [HR], 0.879; P < 0.001), hematocrit (HR, 0.955; P < 0.001), basophils (HR, 0.655; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.472-0.908; P = 0.011), creatine (HR, 1.181; P = 0.038), albumin (HR, 0.465; 95% CI, 0.362-0.599; P < 0.001), and blood urea nitrogen (HR, 1.017; P = 0.046) as significant prognostic factors for mortality. Kaplan-Meier analysis demonstrated significant differences in survival probability based on albumin (cut-off 3.4 g/dL and 4.35 g/dL), basophils (cut-off 2%), and albumin*basophils levels (all P < 0.001). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis revealed that low albumin levels (area under curve [AUC] = 76.2; P < 0.001), low basophil levels (AUC = 71.8; P = 0.030), and low albumin*basophil levels (AUC = 72.2; P = 0.011) were significant predictors of mortality. Proportional HR was significantly associated with these three markers in a linear manner (all P < 0.001). These findings suggest that low serum albumin and blood basophil levels are independent predictors of 10-year mortality in patients with COPD.
Depressive episode and treatment outcomes in elderly individuals with tuberculosis: A prospective cohort study in Korea Ahran Kim, Hyung Woo Kim, Ju Sang Kim, Jin Woo Kim, Yong Hyun Kim, Heayon Lee, Yeonhee Park, Jee Youn Oh, Hyeon-Kyoung Koo, Ock-Hwa Kim, Yun-Jeong Jeong, Yong-Soo Kwon, Won Yeon Lee, Yoolwon Jeong, Jinsoo Min Plos One, 2025 Background Depression is common in the elderly and has been linked with poor tuberculosis treatment outcomes. Methods We conducted a prospective multicenter cohort study of adult aged ≥ 65 years with active tuberculosis in the Republic of Korea between 2020 and 2022. Sociodemographic and clinical data were obtained by interview. Depression was assessed using the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), with a score ≥10 indicating a depressive episode. Logistic regression analyses were conducted to identify factors associated with depressive episodes and evaluate their association with treatment outcomes. Results Among the 361 elderly individuals with active tuberculosis who completed the questionnaire, 69 (19.1%) were classified as having a depressive episode. Depressive episodes were significantly associated with unemployment, higher comorbidity burden, and the presence of tuberculosis-related symptoms such as cough and constitutional symptoms. Functional impairment was reported in 39.6% (143/361) of all participants and increased with the greater severity of depressive symptoms. Suicidal ideation was observed in 19.7% (71/361) of all participants and was independently associated with alarming tuberculosis symptoms. Among the participants with rifampin-susceptible tuberculosis, those with depressive episodes had significantly lower treatment success rates (64.7% vs. 79.1%, p = 0.012). In multivariable logistic regression analysis, depression remained independently associated with reduced odds of treatment outcomes (adjusted odds ratio, 0.478; 95% confidence interval, 0.261–0.878). Conclusions In elderly individuals with tuberculosis, depressive episodes are associated with functional impairment, suicidal ideation, and poor treatment outcomes. Routine mental health assessments at tuberculosis diagnosis may help improve clinical outcomes in aging populations.
Impact of the Race-Neutral Equation on Mortality Risk Prediction in Korean Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Kwonhyung Hyung, Hyun Woo Lee, Joon Young Choi, Deog Kyeom Kim, Yong Il Hwang, Ki‐Eun Hwang, Hyun Jung Kim, Ji‐Yong Moon, Kwang Ha Yoo, Chang‐Hoon Lee, and Respirology, 2025 Background and ObjectiveRecently, GLI‐2022, a race‐neutral reference equation, was proposed for spirometric interpretation. However, the impact of using the GLI‐2022 in predicting mortality risk has not been fully investigated. This study determined whether the GOLD grades based on GLI‐2022 or race‐specific equations are overestimated or underestimated in terms of mortality risk prediction among Korean patients with COPD.MethodsThe participants were enrolled in a prospective COPD cohort study conducted between 2005 and 2022. Patients were classified into GOLD 1 to GOLD 4 based on the post‐bronchodilator forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1) % predicted using the GLI‐2022, GLI Northeast Asian (GLI‐2012), Choi's, and KNHANES‐VI reference equations. The risk of all‐cause mortality was compared between GOLD grades calculated using different equations.ResultsAmong 1989 patients with COPD, 336 died during a median follow‐up of 5.0 years (interquartile range, 3.1–7.3). The GLI‐2022 estimated FEV1% predicted lower than those of GLI‐2012, Choi's, and KNHANES‐VI. No differences were found in the discrimination or calibration between the mortality prediction models. Rather, the GLI‐2022 equation discriminated the mortality risk between the GOLD 1 and GOLD 2 groups (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR], 1.46; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.05–2.03); however, the race‐specific equations did not (Choi's: aHR, 1.22; 95% CI, 0.80–1.85; KNHANES‐VI: aHR, 1.19; 95% CI, 0.77–1.82).ConclusionOur results suggest that race‐specific equations may overestimate the severity of airflow obstruction in Korean patients with mild COPD, which supports the new recommendation for the use of the GLI‐2022.
Closed intensive care units and sepsis patient outcomes: a secondary analysis of data from a multicenter prospective observational study in South Korea Kyeongman Jeon, Jin Hyoung Kim, Kyung Chan Kim, Heung Bum Lee, Hongyeul Lee, Song I Lee, Jin-Won Huh, Won Gun Kwack, Youjin Chang, Yun-Seong Kang, Won Yeon Lee, Je Hyeong Kim, and Acute and Critical Care, 2025 Background: Sepsis is a leading cause of intensive care unit (ICU) admission. However, few studies have evaluated how the ICU model affects the outcomes of patients with sepsis. Methods: This post hoc analysis of data from the Management of Severe Sepsis in Asia’s Intensive Care Units II study included 537 patients with sepsis admitted to 27 ICUs in Korea. The outcome measures of interest were compared between the closed ICU group, patients admitted under the full responsibility of an intensivist as the primary attending physician, and the open ICU group. The association between a closed ICU and ICU mortality was evaluated using a logistic regression analysis.Results: Altogether, 363 and 174 enrolled patients were treated in open and closed ICUs, respectively. Compliance with the sepsis bundles did not differ between the two groups; however, the closed ICU group had a higher rate of renal replacement therapy and shorter duration of ventilator support. The closed ICU group also had a lower ICU mortality rate than the open ICU group (24.7% vs. 33.1%). In a logistic regression analysis, management in the closed ICU was significantly associated with a decreased ICU mortality rate even after adjusting for potential confounding factors (adjusted odds ratio, 0.576; 95% CI, 0.342–0.970), and that association was observed for up to 90 days. Conclusions: Sepsis management in closed ICUs was significantly associated with improved ICU survival and decreased length of ICU stay, even though the compliance rates for the sepsis bundles did not differ between open and closed ICUs.
Factors Associated with Exertional Desaturation in Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Seungju Kim, Chin Kook Rhee, Chang Youl Lee, Deog Kyeom Kim, Soo-Jung Um, Seong Yong Lim, Yong Bum Park, Hyoung Kyu Yoon, Kwang Ha Yoo, Won-Yeon Lee International Journal of Copd, 2025 The six minute walk test (6MWT) has a prognostic role in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The aim of this study was to determine the factors associated with desaturation during the 6MWT in patients with COPD. This study utilized data from the prospective KOrea COPD Subgroup Study (KOCOSS) cohort. The results of the 6MWT performed at enrollment were analyzed in this study. A total of 1789 participants performed the 6MWT. Among them, 185 (10.3%) experienced desaturation during 6MWT. Old age, ex-smoker, low forced expiratory volume in one second (%), and high COPD assessment test score were significantly associated with exertional desaturation.
Development of a Prediction Model for Acute Exacerbation in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis: A Study of the Korea IPF Cohort Registry Jae Ha Lee, Ji Hoon Jang, Song Yee Kim, Moo Suk Park, Man Pyo Chung, Hongseok Yoo, Sung Hwan Jeong, Hong Lyeol Lee, Sun Mi Choi, Young Whan Kim, Yong Hyun Kim, Sung Woo Park, Jong Sun Park, Yangjin Jegal, Yong Suk Jo, Hee-Young Yoon, Tae-Hyung Kim, Yee Hyung Kim, Beomsu Shin, Hyun-kyung Lee, Sei-Hoon Yang, Hyun Lee, Sang-Heon Kim, Eun Joo Lee, Hye Sook Choi, Hyung Koo Kang, Eun Young Heo, Won-Yeon Lee, Jin Woo Song Journal of Korean Medical Science, 2025 Background: Acute exacerbation (AE) of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) has the most disastrous impact on prognosis as a major cause of morbidity and mortality.However, there is no proven treatment, and the occurrence of AE is unpredictable.This study aimed to develop a prediction model for AE in patients with IPF using the nationwide Korea IPF Cohort (KICO) registry.Methods: This is a retrospective study of Korean patients with IPF who were enrolled from June 2016 to February 2022 in the KICO registry.We developed a prediction model for AE based on risk factors found in the multivariable logistic regression model.Results: Of 678 patients with IPF, the mean age was 69.4 years, and 82.0% were male.AE occurred in 165 patients (24.3%) during follow-up (median: 40.7 months).The median time from IPF diagnosis to AE was 11.6 (interquartile range: 3.6-23.5)months.Lower forced vital capacity (FVC), shorter six-minute walking distance (6MWD), and the use of home oxygen were independently associated with AE in the multivariable logistic analysis.In a riskpredicting model using variables of FVC, 6MWD, and the use of home oxygen, there was a significant predictive power for AE in both score (area under the curve [AUC], 0.746; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.705-0.783;P < 0.001) and stage (AUC, 0.696; 95% CI, 0.654-0.736;P < 0.001). Conclusion:Our results suggest that a model using FVC, 6MWD, and home oxygen use may be useful in predicting AE in patients with IPF.
The effect of nebulized N-acetylcysteine on the phlegm of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: the NEWEST study Chin Kook Rhee, Seong Yong Lim, Won-Yeon Lee, Ji Ye Jung, Yong Bum Park, Chang Youl Lee, Yong Il Hwang, Jin Woo Song, Won-Il Choi, Kwang Ha Yoo, Ki Uk Kim, Yu-Il Kim, Tae-Hyung Kim, Seong Ju Park, Kyeong-Cheol Shin, Soo-Jung Um, Hyoung Kyu Yoon, Ho Sung Lee, Deog Kyeom Kim, Ah Young Leem, and BMC Pulmonary Medicine, 2024 Background Phlegm is prevalent symptom in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Few studies have investigated the effectiveness of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) nebulizer therapy in COPD patients. We evaluated the effect of nebulized NAC on the improvement of phlegm symptom in COPD patients. Methods This was a 12-week, prospective, single-arm, open-label, phase IV multi-center trial (NCT05102305, Registration Date: 20-October-2021). We enrolled patients aged ≥ 40 years with post bronchodilator forced expiratory volume in one second/forced vital capacity (FEV1/FVC) < 0.7 and COPD assessment test (CAT) phlegm score ≥ 2; the patients were current or ex-smoker with smoking pack-years ≥ 10. The primary endpoint was to determine the change in CAT phlegm score at 12 weeks compared to the baseline. Patients were assessed at baseline, 4, 8, and 12 weeks of treatment using the CAT score. Results In total, 100 COPD patients were enrolled from 10 hospitals. The mean age of the patients was 71.42 ± 8.20 years, with 19.78% being current-smokers and 80.22% being ex-smokers. The mean smoking pack-years was 40.32 ± 35.18. The mean FVC, FEV1, and FEV1/FVC were 3.94 L (75.44%), 2.22 L (58.50%), and 0.53, respectively. The CAT phlegm score at baseline was 3.47 ± 1.06, whereas after 12 weeks of nebulized NAC it significantly decreased to 2.62 ± 1.30 (p < 0.01). More than half (53.5%) of the patients expressed satisfaction with the effects of nebulized NAC therapy. Adverse events occurred in 8 (8.0%) patients. Notably, no serious adverse drug reactions were reported. Conclusion In this study, we have established the effectiveness and safety of nebulized NAC over 12 weeks.
