The role of the state is important because highways as public goods must be supplied and managed by the state. Until now, the government has built highways with the aim of balanced regional development and economic growth. However, the highway policy has been changed to improve publicity, such as connecting to the outer cities of large cities and the construction of bypass roads to distribute existing highway traffic. Most of the studies related to highway traffic demand are studies in engineering fields such as changes in traffic volume and the calculation of benefits according to technology and system application. This study analyzes how the Private Financed Highways built for the purpose of distributing traffic volume affect the transportation demand of the Government Funded Highways. Oil prices and number of automobile registered vehicles related to traffic demand were set as detailed contents, and an empirical analysis was conducted by creating a research model between the opening of the Private Financed Highways and the demand for its traffic. In other words, the research model was set as the independent variable was whether launching status to the Private Financed Highways, and the dependent variable was the Government Funded Highways traffic volume. As for the control variables are oil prices, the number of automobile registered vehicles, and the Private Financed Highways traffic. The variable setting of oil prices and the number of automobile registered vehicles in this research model means traffic demand. The variables of the Private Financed Highways traffic demand and whether launching status the Private Financed Highways are considered to confirm the positive and negative impact of highway traffic demand. First of all, a tollgate office was selected to be included in the section from Yongin to Seoul of the Gyeongbu highways, a Government Funded Highways directly affected by the Yongin Seoul highways, a Private Financed Highways built for the purpose of distributing traffic. The period was divided before and after the opening of the Yongin Seoul highways (July 2009), and this study analyzed the monthly traffic volume from 2006 to 2019. The oil prices were calculated at the national average monthly price of gasoline. The number of automobile registered vehicles per month was calculated by dividing its by the population for Hwaseong city, Yongin city, Suwon city, and Seongnam city, which are administrative districts that include the Yongin Seoul highway and the Gyeongbu highway. Prior to the actual analysis, multicollinearity between variables was tested to confirm that there was no correlation, and the results of the regression analysis are as follows. First, it was found that the opening of the Private Financed Highways significantly reduced the demand for the Government Funded Highways traffic. This means that the traffic congestion on the Gyeongbu highways section from Yongin to Seoul was alleviated, and the government policy for the construction of the Yongin-Seoul highway, which was built to disperse the increased traffic demand due to new town development, was effective. Second, the impact of the decrease in demand for Government Funded Highways traffic volume due to the opening of the Private Financed Highways did not differ by time zone. Both peak hour (rush hour) and off-peak hour reduced traffic demand. Oil prices and the number of automobiles registered vehicles per capita during non-commuting hours were not statistically significant. According to the study of "Baek Seung-gul and Jeong So-young Study (2008)", the elasticity of highway traffic demand is hardly affected by oil prices, and the increase in short-distance traffic is judged to be the biggest cause of the increase in short-distance car traffic due to wide-area cities such as the metropolitan area. Finally, the impact of the decrease in demand for the Government Funded Highways traffic volume due to the opening of the Private Financed Highways did not differ by vehicle type. Both passenger and non-commercial vehicles have reduced traffic demand. Looking at the regression coefficient values of the passenger car group and the emergency vehicle group, it was found that the regression coefficient value of the non-passenger car group was relatively less affected by the opening of the Yongin Seoul highways. The emergency vehicle group consisting of buses and trucks has a stronger purpose of driving long distances than the passenger car group. In the case of emergency vehicles, it is believed that they used the Gyeongbu highways, the Government Funded Highways with excellent network effects due to the organization of all routes, rather than using the single route the Yongin Seoul highways for long-distance movement. The highway traffic has strong seasonal characteristics, resulting in a deviation in traffic volume from month to month. In addition, the factors that cause traffic demand are various such as the value of travel time and the traffic situation and quality of roads. In other words, for the accuracy of statistical analysis, it is necessary to devise a data correction plan and consider various variables. This study is meaningful in that despite the limitations of the research, the impact of traffic between Private Financed Highways and Government Funded Highways was analyzed.κ³ μ†λ„λ‘œλŠ” 자유둜운

    Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the most common cause of death in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). We report the baseline cardiovascular characteristics of 2,238 participants by using the data of the KoreaN Cohort Study for Outcomes in Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease (KNOW-CKD) study. The cohort comprises 5 subcohorts according to the cause of CKD: glomerulonephritis (GN), diabetic nephropathy (DN), hypertensive nephropathy (HTN), polycystic kidney disease (PKD), and unclassified. The average estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was 50.5 ± 30.3 mL/min⁻¹/1.73 m⁻² and lowest in the DN subcohort. The overall prevalence of previous CVD was 14.4% in all patients, and was highest in the DN followed by that in the HTN subcohort. The DN subcohort had more adverse cardiovascular risk profiles (higher systolic blood pressure [SBP], and higher levels of cardiac troponin T, left ventricular mass index [LVMI], coronary calcium score, and brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity [baPWV]) than the other subcohorts. The HTN subcohort exhibited less severe cardiovascular risk profiles than the DN subcohort, but had more severe cardiovascular risk features than the GN and PKD subcohorts. All these cardiovascular risk profiles were inversely correlated with eGFR. In conclusion, this study shows that the KNOW-CKD cohort exhibits high cardiovascular burden, as other CKD cohorts in previous studies. Among the subcohorts, the DN subcohort had the highest risk for CVD. The ongoing long-term follow-up study up to 10 years will further delineate cardiovascular characteristics and outcomes of each subcohort exposed to different risk profiles.ope

    Permissive fluid volume in adult patients undergoing extracorporeal membrane oxygenation treatment

    BACKGROUND: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a cardiorespiratory support technique for patients with circulatory or pulmonary failure. Frequently, large-volume fluid resuscitation is needed to ensure sufficient extracorporeal blood flow in patients initiating ECMO. However, excessive overhydration is known to increase mortality in critically ill patients. Therefore, in order to define a tolerant volume range in patients undergoing ECMO treatment, the association between cumulative fluid balance (CFB) and outcome was evaluated in patients undergoing ECMO. METHODS: This retrospective multicenter cohort study was conducted with 723 patients who underwent ECMO in three tertiary care hospitals between 2005 and 2016. CFB was calculated as total fluid input minus total fluid output during the first 3 days from ECMO initiation. The patients were divided into groups that initiated ECMO owing to cardiovascular disease (CVD)-related or non-cardiovascular disease (non-CVD)-related causes. The primary endpoint was mortality within 90 days after ECMO commencement. RESULTS: Totals of 406 and 317 patients were included in the CVD and non-CVD groups, respectively. In the CVD group, the mean age was 58.4 ± 17.7 years, and 68.2% were male. The mean age was 55.7 ± 15.7 years, and 65.3% were male in the non-CVD group. The median CFB values were 64.7 and 53.5 ml/kg in the CVD and non-CVD groups, respectively. Multivariable analysis using Cox proportional hazards models revealed a significantly increased risk of 90-day mortality in patients with higher CFB values in both the CVD and non-CVD groups. However, the risks were elevated only in the two CFB quartile groups with the largest CFB amounts. Cubic spline models showed that mortality risk began to increase significantly when CFB was 82.3 ml/kg in the CVD group. In patients with respiratory diseases, the mortality risk increase was significant for those with CFB levels above 189.6 ml/kg. CONCLUSIONS: Mortality risk did not increase until a certain level of fluid overload was reached in patients undergoing ECMO. Adequate fluid resuscitation is critical to improving outcomes in these patients.ope

    Circulating Fibroblast Growth Factor-23 Levels are Associated with an Increased Risk of Anemia Development in Patients with Nondialysis Chronic Kidney Disease

    Fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF23) is an established biomarker of adverse outcomes in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Several cross-sectional studies have suggested a possible association between FGF23 and anemia in these patients. In this large-scale prospective cohort study, we investigated this relationship and examined whether high FGF23 levels increase the risk of incident anemia. This prospective longitudinal study included 2,089 patients from the KoreaN cohort study for Outcome in patients With CKD. Anemia was defined as hemoglobin level <13.0 g/dl (men) and <12.0 g/dl (women). Log-transformed FGF23 significantly correlated with hepcidin but inversely correlated with iron profiles and hemoglobin. Multivariate logistic regression showed that log-transformed FGF23 was independently associated with anemia (odds ratio [OR], 1.14; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.04-1.24, P = 0.01). Among 1,164 patients without anemia at baseline, 295 (25.3%) developed anemia during a median follow-up of 21 months. In fully adjusted multivariable Cox models, the risk of anemia development was significantly higher in the third (hazard ratio [HR], 1.66; 95% CI, 1.11-2.47; P = 0.01) and fourth (HR, 1.84; 95% CI, 1.23-2.76; P = 0.001) than in the first FGF23 quartile. In conclusion, high serum FGF23 levels were associated with an increased risk for anemia in patients with nondialysis CKD.ope

    Electrolyte and mineral disturbances in septic acute kidney injury patients undergoing continuous renal replacement therapy

    Electrolyte and mineral disturbances remain a major concern in patients undergoing continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT); however, it is not clear whether those imbalances are associated with adverse outcomes in patients with septic acute kidney injury (AKI) undergoing CRRT. We conducted a post-hoc analysis of data from a prospective randomized controlled trial. A total of 210 patients with a mean age of 62.2 years (136 [64.8%] males) in 2 hospitals were enrolled. Levels of sodium, potassium, calcium, and phosphate measured before (0?hour) and 24 hours after CRRT initiation. Before starting CRRT, at least 1 deficiency and excess in electrolytes or minerals were observed in 126 (60.0%) and 188 (67.6%) patients, respectively. The excess in these parameters was greatly improved, whereas hypokalemia and hypophosphatemia became more prevalent at 24 hours after CRRT. However, 1 and 2 or more deficiencies in those parameters at the 2 time points were not associated with mortality. However, during 28 days, 89 (71.2%) deaths occurred in patients with phosphate levels at 0?hour of β‰₯4.5?mg/dL as compared with 49 (57.6%) in patients with phosphate levels <4.5?mg/dL. The 90-day mortality was also significantly higher in patients with hyperphosphatemia. Similarly, in 184 patients who survived at 24 hours after CRRT, hyperphosphatemia conferred a 2.2-fold and 2.6-fold increased risk of 28- and 90-day mortality, respectively. The results remained unaltered when the serum phosphate level was analyzed as a continuous variable. Electrolyte and mineral disturbances are common, and hyperphosphatemia may predict poor prognosis in septic AKI patients undergoing CRRT.ope

    BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Electrocardiography (ECG) is the most widely used initial screening test for the assessment of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), an independent predictor of cardiovascular mortality in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). However, traditional ECG criteria based only on voltage to detect LVH have limited clinical utility for the detection of LVH because of their poor sensitivity. METHODS: This prospective observational study was undertaken to compare the prognostic significance of commonly used ECG criteria for LVH, namely Sokolow-Lyon voltage (SV) or voltage-duration product (SP) and Cornell voltage (CV) or voltage-duration product (CP) criteria, and to investigate the association between echocardiographic LV mass index (LVMI) and ECG-LVH criteria in ESRD patients, who consecutively started maintenance hemodialysis (HD) between January 2006 and December 2008. RESULTS: A total of 317 patients, who underwent both ECG and echocardiography, were included. Compared to SV and CV criteria, SP and CP criteria, respectively, correlated more closely with LVMI. In addition, CP criteria provided the highest positive predictive value for echocardiographic LVH. The 5-year cardiovascular survival rates were significantly lower in patients with ECG-LVH by each criterion. In multivariate analyses, echocardiographic LVH [adjusted hazard ratio (HR): 11.71; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.57-87.18; P = 0.016] and ECG-LVH by SP (HR: 3.43; 95% CI: 1.32-8.92; P = 0.011) and CP (HR: 3.07; 95% CI: 1.16-8.11; P = 0.024) criteria, but not SV and CV criteria, were significantly associated with cardiovascular mortality. CONCLUSIONS: The product of QRS voltage and duration is helpful in identifying the presence of LVH and predicting cardiovascular mortality in incident HD patients.ope

    PURPOSE: We undertook an observational study to investigate the effects of immunosuppressive treatment on proteinuria and renal function in 179 Korean idiopathic membranous nephropathy patients with nephrotic syndrome. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The primary outcome was regarded as the first appearance of remission and the secondary outcomes as a decline in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) >50% or initiation of dialysis, and all-cause mortality. Seventy-two (40.2%) and 50 (27.9%) patients were treated with corticosteroids alone (C) and corticosteroids plus cyclosporine (C+C), respectively, whereas 57 (31.8%) did not receive immunosuppressants (NTx). Cyclosporine was added if there was no reduction in proteinuria of >50% from baseline by corticosteroids alone within 3 months. RESULTS: There were no differences in baseline renal function and the amount of proteinuria among the three groups. Overall, complete remission (CR) was achieved in 88 (72.1%) patients by immunosuppressants. In a multivariate analysis adjusted for covariates associated with adverse renal outcome, the probability of reaching CR was significantly higher in the C [hazard ratio (HR), 4.09; p<0.001] and C+C groups (HR, 2.57; p=0.003) than in the NTx group. Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed that 5-year CR rates of C, C+C, and NTx groups were 88.5%, 86.2%, and 56.7% (p<0.001). Ten-year event-free rates for the secondary endpoints in these three groups were 91.7%, 79.9%, and 57.2% (p=0.01). CONCLUSION: Immunosuppressive treatment was effective in inducing remission and preserving renal function in these patients. Therefore, stepwise treatment using corticosteroids alone and in combination with cyclosporine is warranted in these patients.ope

    CONTEXT: Subclinical hypothyroidism is not a rare condition, but the use of thyroid hormone to treat subclinical hypothyroidism is an issue of debate. OBJECTIVE: This study was undertaken to investigate the impact of thyroid hormone therapy on the changes in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in subclinical hypothyroidism patients with stage 2-4 chronic kidney disease. PATIENTS: A total of 309 patients were included in the final analysis. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: The changes in eGFR over time were compared between patients with and without thyroid hormone replacement therapy using a linear mixed model. Kaplan-Meier curves were constructed to determine the effect of thyroid hormone on renal outcome, a reduction of eGFR by 50%, or end-stage renal disease. The independent prognostic value of subclinical hypothyroidism treatment for renal outcome was ascertained by multivariate Cox regression analysis. RESULTS: Among the 309 patients, 180 (58.3%) took thyroid hormone (treatment group), whereas 129 (41.7%) did not (nontreatment group). During the mean follow-up duration of 34.8 Β± 24.3 months, the overall rate of decline in eGFR was significantly greater in the nontreatment group compared to the treatment group (-5.93 Β± 1.65 vs. -2.11 Β± 1.12 ml/min/yr/1.73 m(2); P = 0.04). Moreover, a linear mixed model revealed that there was a significant difference in the rates of eGFR decline over time between the two groups (P < 0.01). Kaplan-Meier analysis also showed that renal event-free survival was significantly lower in the nontreatment group (P < 0.01). In multivariate Cox regression analysis, thyroid hormone replacement therapy was found to be an independent predictor of renal outcome (hazard ratio, 0.28; 95% CI, 0.12-0.68; P = 0.01). CONCLUSION: Thyroid hormone therapy not only preserved renal function better, but was also an independent predictor of renal outcome in chronic kidney disease patients with subclinical hypothyroidism.ope

    Vitamin D deficiency is significantly associated with depression in patients with chronic kidney disease

    BACKGROUND: Depression is reported to be the most common psychological problem in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Several studies have reported that lower levels of serum vitamin D are significantly associated with depression. Both vitamin D deficiency and depression are prevalent in patients with CKD, yet the relationship between these two factors remains poorly understood. This study aimed to investigate the association between vitamin D levels and depression among CKD patients. METHODS: Totally, 21,257 individuals who participated in the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES V, VI) from 2010-2014 were screened for the study; 533 CKD patients were included. Vitamin D deficiency was defined as serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 [25(OH)D3] ≀10 ng/mL. Patients were divided into vitamin D deficient or sufficient groups. Depression was screened for using the Korean version of the WHO Composite International Diagnostic Interview-Short Form. The association between vitamin D deficiency and depression was evaluated by multivariate logistic regression analysis. RESULTS: The mean participant age was 70.1Β±9.4 years; 262 patients (49.2%) were male. The median 25(OH)D3 level was 19.1Β±6.9 ng/mL. The prevalence of depression was higher in CKD patients than in the general population (14.3 vs. 11.1%, P = 0.03). Additionally, the prevalence of depression was significantly higher in CKD patients with (vs. without) vitamin D deficiency (32.5% vs. 50.0%, P<0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that vitamin D deficiency was a significant independent predictor of depression after adjusting for confounding factors (adjusted odds ratio, 6.15; 95% confidence interval, 2.02-8.75; P = 0.001). CONCLUSION: Depression was highly prevalent in CKD patients, in whom vitamin D deficiency was a significant independent predictor of depression. Therefore, management of vitamin D deficiency might help prevent depression in CKD patients.ope
