Objective: There are only a few studies investigating the effects of COVID-19 pandemic on prevalence asthma, especially between different age groups. Thus, we aimed to examine trends age-stratified asthma in South Koreans before and during pandemic. Methods: This study utilized data derived from Korea National Health Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) 1998 2021. The objective our was investigate annual change associated with over period 24 years Results: From 1998-2021, total 206,687 subjects participated KNHANES surveys. Asthma Korean increased pre-pandemic era (from 1.61% 2.92% 2019) but decreased significantly 2.83% 2.97% 2020 2021).

Abstract Background Asthma and atopic dermatitis (AD) are chronic allergic conditions, along with rhinitis food allergy cause high morbidity mortality both in children adults. This study aims to evaluate the global, regional, national, temporal trends of burden asthma AD from 1990 2019 analyze their associations geographic, demographic, social, clinical factors. Methods Using data Global Burden Diseases (GBD), Injuries, Risk Factors Study 2019, we assessed age‐standardized prevalence, incidence, mortality, disability‐adjusted life years (DALYs) stratified by geographic region, age, sex, socio‐demographic index (SDI). DALYs were calculated as sum lived disability lost premature mortality. Additionally, disease attributable body mass index, occupational asthmagens, smoking was described. Results In there a total 262 million [95% uncertainty interval (UI): 224–309 million] cases 171 UI: 165–178 globally; prevalence rates 3416 2899–4066] 2277 2192–2369] per 100,000 population for AD, respectively, 24.1% −27.2 −20.8] decrease 4.3% 3.8–4.8] compared baseline 1990. Both had similar according age‐specific peaking at age 5–9 rising again adulthood. The incidence higher individuals SDI; however, reverse trend, those lower SDI quintiles. Of three risk factors, contributed highest deaths due asthma, accounting 3.65 2.14–5.60 75,377 40,615–122,841] deaths. Conclusions continue significant worldwide, having increased but decreased 2019. Although more frequent younger ages prevalent high‐SDI countries, each condition has distinct regional characteristics.

Abstract As mounting evidence suggests a higher incidence of adverse consequences, such as disruption the immune system, among patients with history COVID-19, we aimed to investigate post-COVID-19 conditions on comprehensive set allergic diseases including asthma, rhinitis, atopic dermatitis, and food allergy. We used nationwide claims-based cohorts in South Korea (K-CoV-N; n = 836,164; main cohort) Japan (JMDC; 2,541,021; replication cohort A) UK Biobank (UKB; 325,843; B) after 1:5 propensity score matching. Among 836,164 individuals (mean age, 50.25 years [SD, 13.86]; 372,914 [44.6%] women), 147,824 were infected SARS-CoV-2 during follow-up period (2020−2021). The risk developing diseases, beyond first 30 days diagnosis significantly increased (HR, 1.20; 95% CI, 1.13−1.27), notably asthma 2.25; 1.80−2.83) rhinitis 1.23; 1.15−1.32). This gradually decreased over time, but it persisted throughout (≥6 months). In addition, increasing severity COVID-19. Notably, COVID-19 vaccination at least two doses had protective effect against subsequent 0.81; 0.68−0.96). Similar findings reported A B.

Background Given the additional risk of suicide-related behaviors in adolescents with allergic rhinitis (AR), it is important to use growing field machine learning (ML) evaluate this risk. Objective This study aims validity and usefulness an ML model for predicting suicide patients AR. Methods We used data from 2 independent survey studies, Korea Youth Risk Behavior Web-based Survey (KYRBS; n=299,468) original set National Health Nutrition Examination (KNHANES; n=833) external validation set, predict risks AR aged 13 18 years, 3.45% (10,341/299,468) 1.4% (12/833) attempting KYRBS KNHANES respectively.

Applying result revealed best performance among models, 89.87% (sensitivity 83.33%, specificity 82.58%, accuracy 82.59%, balanced 82.96%). While looking at feature importance, 5 most features attempts adolescent are depression, stress status, academic achievement, age, alcohol consumption.

Objective This modelling study aimed to estimate the burden for allergic diseases in children during a period of 30 years. Design Population-based observational study. Main outcomes and measures The data on incidence, mortality disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) childhood diseases, such as atopic dermatitis (AD) asthma, were retrieved from Global Burden Disease 2019 online database. set spans various groups, including different regions, ages, genders Socio-Demographic Indices (SDI), covering 1990 2019.

Therefore, this study aims to analyze changes in trends awareness, comprehension, and usage South Korea during pandemic. We utilized nationwide, large-scale, long-term dataset provided by Community Health Survey (KCHS) from 2014 2022 (total = 1,756,847 participants). This allowed researchers assess prevalence of usage. Furthermore, we investigated factors associated with awareness specifically related In total, adults (54.19% women) participated study. The upward slope overall became less pronounced even exhibited downward (βdiff - 1.759; 95% CI 1.874 1.644). comprehension more (comprehension: βdiff 0.535; 0.436-0.634; usage: 0.693; 0.601-0.785). vulnerability lower included older age, male, obesity, residing rural areas, household income, educational level, smoking, increased alcohol consumption. analyzed 9-year trend based nationally representative data 2022.
