Effect of a 1-year tailored exercise program according to cancer trajectories in patients with breast cancer: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial.

Background: Patients with breast cancer undergo various treatments according to their tumor subtype and cancer stages within 1 year after being diagnosed. Each treatment may cause treatment-related symptoms that have negative impacts on patients' health and quality of life (QoL) The symptoms can be mitigated when exercise interventions are appropriately applied to patients' physical and mental conditions. Although many exercise programs were developed and implemented during this period, the effects of tailored exercise programs according to symptoms and cancer trajectories on patients' long-term health outcomes have not yet been fully elucidated.

Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease Increases Susceptibility to Nontuberculous Mycobacterial Pulmonary Disease.

Background: Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a common comorbidity of nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) pulmonary disease (PD). Although GERD is associated with more symptoms and severe disease in patients with NTM PD, whether GERD is associated with an increased risk of NTM PD developing is unknown.

Research Question: Does GERD influence the development of NTM PD? Are there any factors associated with an increased risk of NTM PD among patients with GERD? What is the impact of NTM PD on the health-care use of patients with GERD?

Study Design And Methods: Data from the Korean National Health Insurance Service National Sample Cohort between 2002 and 2015 were used.

Additive effects of coexisting respiratory comorbidities on overall or respiratory mortality in patients with asthma: a national cohort study.

Asthmatic patients are generally considered to have an increased risk of mortality compared with subjects without asthma. However, this issue has been less evaluated using nationally representative data. Moreover, it is unclear whether respiratory comorbidities other than chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are associated with increased mortality in asthmatic patients compared with subjects without.

Healthcare Utilization and Medical Cost of Gastrointestinal Reflux Disease in Non-tuberculous Mycobacterial Pulmonary Disease: A Population-Based Study, South Korea, 2009-2017.

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a common non-respiratory comorbidity in patients with non-tuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary disease (NTM-PD). However, little is known about the association between GERD and healthcare utilization and medical costs of NTM-PD. Thus, we evaluated this association using the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service National Patient Sample.
