This study aimed to elucidate the differences in the temporal trends of critical laboratory biomarkers, utilization of critical care support, and clinical outcomes according to temporal radiographic latent trajectories.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>We enrolled 2,385 patients who were hospitalized with COVID-19 and underwent serial chest radiographs from December 2019 to March 2022. The extent of radiographic pneumonia was quantified as a percentage using a previously developed deep-learning algorithm. A latent class growth model was used to identify the trajectories of the longitudinal changes of COVID-19 pneumonia extents during hospitalization. We investigated the differences in the temporal trends of critical laboratory biomarkers among the temporal radiographic trajectory groups. Cox regression analyses were conducted to investigate differences in the utilization of critical care supports and clinical outcomes among the temporal radiographic trajectory groups.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>The mean age of the enrolled patients was 58.0 ± 16.9 years old, with 1,149 (48.2%) being male. Radiographic pneumonia trajectories were classified into three groups: The steady group (n = 1,925, 80.7%) exhibited stable minimal pneumonia, the downhill group (n = 135, 5.7%) exhibited initial worsening followed by improving pneumonia, and the uphill group (n = 325, 13.6%) exhibited progressive deterioration of pneumonia. There were distinct differences in the patterns of temporal blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels between the uphill group and the other two groups. Cox regression analyses revealed that the hazard ratios (HRs) for the need for critical care support and the risk of intensive care unit admission were significantly higher in both the downhill and uphill groups compared to the steady group. However, regarding in-hospital mortality, only the uphill group demonstrated a significantly higher risk than the steady group (HR, 8.2; 95% confidence interval, 3.08-21.98).</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Stratified pneumonia trajectories, identified through serial chest radiographs, are linked to different patterns of temporal changes in BUN and CRP levels.

Among adolescents, the incidence is reported to exceed 85%. The disease can significantly impact both physical and emotional aspects of a person's quality of life, leading to permanent scarring, poor self-image, depression, and anxiety. The standard first-line treatment for acne vulgaris includes conventional pharmacological approaches such as keratolytics, topical or oral antibiotics, retinoids, and hormonal agents. However, these treatments are not universally effective due to patient noncompliance, adverse drug effects, and the emergence of antibiotic resistance in <i>Cutibacterium acnes</i>, often resulting in high rates of recurrence. Consequently, non-pharmacological therapies have been developed as safe and effective alternatives or supplements to pharmacological treatment. These non-pharmacological approaches can serve as standalone treatment modalities, adjuncts to pharmacological therapy, or maintenance treatments. Current literature lacks comprehensive data on the classification of these non-pharmacological treatment options. This paper aims to provide a brief overview of recent research on the practical applications and potential mechanisms of non-pharmacological therapies for both acne and acne scars.

This review examines key statistical methods for addressing baseline differences and conducting cohort analyses using Korean National Health Insurance claims data. Propensity score matching and inverse probability of treatment weighting are widely used to mitigate selection bias and enhance causal inference in observational studies. These methods help improve study validity by balancing covariates between treatment and control groups. Additionally, survival analysis techniques, such as the Cox proportional hazards model, are essential for assessing time-to-event outcomes and estimating hazard ratios while accounting for censoring. However, the application of these statistical methods is accompanied by challenges, including unmeasured confounding, instability in weight estimation, and violations of model assumptions. To address these limitations, emerging approaches, such as Doubly robust estimation, machine learning-based causal inference, and the marginal structural model, have gained prominence. These techniques offer greater flexibility and robustness in real-world data analysis. Future research should focus on refining methodologies for integrating high-dimensional health datasets and leveraging artificial intelligence to enhance predictive modeling and causal inference. Furthermore, the expansion of international collaborations and the adoption of standardized data models will facilitate large-scale multi-center studies.
