Cumulative Recurrence Rate and Risk Factors for Recurrent Abdominal Wall Endometriosis after Surgical Treatment in a Single Institution.
This study aimed to evaluate the cumulative recurrence rate and risk factors for recurrent abdominal wall endometriosis (AWE) after surgical treatment. ⋯ The recurrence rate of AWE appears to be correlated with the follow-up duration. There was no statistically significant risk factor for the recurrence of AWE. Unlike ovarian endometriosis, postoperative hormonal treatment does not seem to lower the recurrence of AWE. The findings of the current study may help healthcare providers in counselling and managing patients with AWE.

12th Korea Healthcare Congress 2021; 김치국부터 마시지 말라; The Time for Digital Health is Almost Here.
We are now on the cusp of massive adoption of digital health technologies. Medicine is becoming an information science intertwined with technology and data science. This talk aims to describe the current state of digital transformation in healthcare, to identify reasons for enthusiasm and caution, and to provide a framework for thinking about what is necessary for hospitals and health systems to be confident about incorporating these innovations into practice. ⋯ We should evaluate every intervention for unintended adverse consequences. Changes to systems, with all good intentions, can always go awry. In conclusion, insistence on good and evolving evidence is the best way to arrive at our destination: the use of innovations to improve outcomes.
