Article Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to determine if a history of tinnitus is associated with the risk of developing dementia.
Method: A nationwide population-based case-control study including all eligible adults in Taiwan.
Results: A total of 15 686 patients were included in the study, with 7843 individuals making up each of the case and control groups. Patients with a history of tinnitus were associated with a statistically significant higher risk of being diagnosed with dementia before reaching 65 years old (50 years ≤ age <65 years) (adjusted odds ratio 2.68, 95 per cent confidence interval (CI) 1.19-6.05, = 0.017). No statistical significance was found among those 65 years and older (adjusted odds ratio 1.17, 95 per cent CI 0.90-1.51, = 0.235).
Conclusion: A history of tinnitus was associated with a 168 per cent increased risk of being diagnosed with dementia in those aged 50-65 years old. This association was not significant in those older than 65 years.

Live zoster vaccination and hepatobiliary risk reduction: a nationwide South Korean study.
Korean J Intern Med
September 2025
Division of Gastroenterology, ChungAng University College of Medicine, Seoul, Korea.
Background/aims: Herpes zoster (HZ) vaccination is primarily administered to prevent shingles, yet its systemic immunomodulatory effects may offer protection against other organ-related diseases, including hepatobiliary and pancreatic diseases. Therefore, this emulated target trial aimed to evaluate whether live HZ vaccination reduces the long-term risk of hepatobiliary diseases in older adults.
Methods: We conducted a nationwide, population-based cohort study in South Korea (n = 2,207,784 individuals aged ≥ 50 years) from January 1, 2012, to December 31, 2021, with follow-up until January 31, 2024.

Objective: To report the territorial distribution and characteristics of healthcare centres performing surgical abortion in France, along with the accessibility of these centres.
Material And Methods: A nationwide population-based cohort study of all women hospitalized for surgical abortion was conducted from January 1 to December 31, 2022 in metropolitan France. Number, location, activity volume and use of local anaesthesia rate of surgical abortion centres were reported as distribution activity across metropolitan France.

School of Public Health, Peking University, Beijing, China. Electronic address:
Purpose: We estimated the association between maternal sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and the risk of specific birth defects among live singleton births in the United States (US).
Methods: We conducted a population-based study using data from birth certificates for 14,602,822 live singleton births occurring from 2016 to 2019 in the US. We used logistic regression to estimate the associations between three maternal STDs (chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis) and the risk of four specific birth defects (gastroschisis, cleft lip with or without cleft palate, spina bifida, and hypospadias), adjusting for socio-demographic and pregnancy-related factors.

Research Unit for Screening and Epidemiology, Department of Biochemistry and Immunology, Lillebaelt Hospital, Vejle, Denmark; Department of Clinical Medicine, Aarhus University, Aarhus N, Denmark; Institute of Regional Health Research, University of Southern Denmark, Odense, Denmark.
Background: Mammography screening reduces breast cancer mortality by approximately 25 % in the general population and might therefore also benefit breast cancer survivors. However, its impact on mortality rates in this group remains unstudied. We aimed to estimate the effect of mammography screening on breast cancer mortality in this population.
