AbstractThe aim of this study is to investigate the incidence and mortality of Terson syndrome in patients with treated subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) in South Korea. In this nationwide, population-based study, we used the National Health Insurance(NHI) database (2011–2015) to identify patients aged ≥18 years. Newly diagnosed non-traumatic SAH, treated using clipping or coil embolization, were identified, and Terson syndrome was defined as newly diagnosed retinal or vitreous hemorrhage within 3 months of SAH diagnosis. We identified 22,864 patients with treated SAH (tSAH), 196 of whom had Terson syndrome, with the cumulative incidence during 5 years of 0.86% (95% CI: 0.74–0.98): 1.10% (95% CI: 0.88–1.33) in men and 0.71% (95% CI, 0.58–0.85) in women. The cumulative incidence of Terson syndrome in patients aged under 40 was higher than in those aged 40 or over (1.41% vs. 0.81%; p = 0.007). The mortality rate of Terson syndrome in patients with tSAH was not different from that in those without Terson syndrome (4.08% vs. 7.30%; p = 0.089). This was the first nationwide epidemiological study of Terson syndrome using a population-based database. The incidence of Terson syndrome in patients with tSAH was higher in those age under 40 than in those aged 40 or over.

Category: Ankle Arthritis Introduction/Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the surgical trends of primary total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) and revision procedure in South Korea from 2007 to 2017 using the national population-based data. Methods: We reviewed the national health insurance data of South Korea from 2007 to 2017. The data includes diagnosis codes, procedure codes, prescriptions, medical costs, and other demographic data. Trends of primary diagnosis for primary TAA were evaluated. Annual trends and incidences per 100,000 person-years of primary TAA and revision procedures as well as compound annual growth rate (CAGR) during the study period were analysed. Surgical trends according to patients’ age, hospital grades, and insurance systems were also evaluated. Results: Primary diagnosis for primary TAA was mostly degenerative arthritis (6501 cases, 90.5%). From 2007 to 2017, the total number of cases of primary TAA and revision procedures was 7183 and 585, respectively. The number of cases in 2007 of primary TAA were 313; there were no cases of revision. The number of cases in 2017 of primary TAA were 986 and of revision were 108. The CAGR during this period was 28.6% for primary TAA and 44.6% for revision procedures. Incidences per 100,000 person- years in 2017 were 1.91 for primary TAA and 0.21 for revision procedures. The average cost paid by patients themselves was 813$ (19%) and by the national health insurance service was 3480$ (81%). Conclusion: Trends of primary TAA and revision procedures have been steadily rising in South Korea during the 11-year study period.
