An Automated Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources-Based 12-Lead Electrocardiogram Mobile Alert System for Suspected Acute Coronary Syndrome.
For patients with time-critical acute coronary syndrome, reporting electrocardiogram (ECG) findings is the most important component of the treatment process. We aimed to develop and validate an automated Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR)-based 12-lead ECG mobile alert system for use in an emergency department (ED). ⋯ An automated FHIR-based 12-lead ECG mobile alert system was successfully implemented in an ED.

Blood Supply and Demand in Korea: What is in Store for the Future?
Presently, Korea is facing new challenges associated with an imbalance in blood supply and demand. The purpose of this study was to examine trends in blood supply and demand in Korea over the past 10 years through 2018 and to propose what to prepare in the future. ⋯ Blood management in Korea is changing rapidly due to a low birth rate, rapid aging, and an increase in severely ill patients who require most of the blood supply. Therefore, future plans to promote donation at a national level and optimal use of blood in hospitals is necessary.

Similar Clinical Outcomes of Early and Late Anti-TNF Initiation for Ulcerative Colitis: A Nationwide Population-Based Study.
The optimal timing of anti-tumor necrosis factor (anti-TNF) initiation in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) remains unclear. Very little is known about the clinical outcomes after the early versus late initiation of anti-TNF therapy, especially in Asian UC patients. Here we aimed to assess whether earlier anti-TNF treatment initiation results in favorable clinical outcomes in Korean UC patients. ⋯ Patients receiving early anti-TNF therapy had similar clinical outcomes to those of late initiators, suggesting that early anti-TNF therapy initiation offers little benefit in patients with UC.
