Abstract
This hospital-based, cross-sectional study aimed to explore the association between diet and fluctuating intestinal bacteria in early-stage colorectal cancer (CRC) (Atopobium parvulum, Actinomyces odontolyticus, Solobacterium moorei, and Bifidobacterium longum). Healthy participants (n = 212) who underwent total colonoscopy at National Cancer Center Hospital (Tokyo, Japan) were divided into two groups according to the relative abundance of bacteria in their feces: those in the top 25% of relative bacterial abundance as cases and the bottom 25% as controls. The participants were divided into three groups (low, medium, and high) according to their intake of food groups associated with CRC. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was conducted to estimate the association between dietary intake and higher relative abundance of bacteria. Dairy products were inversely associated with a higher relative abundance of A. parvulum, A. odontolyticus, and S. moorei, with odds ratios (high vs. low) and 95% confidence interval as follows: 0.16 (0.06-0.44), 0.25 (0.08-0.82), and 0.29 (0.11-0.78), respectively. Additionally, dietary fiber was inversely associated with a higher relative abundance of S.moorei (0.29 [0.11-0.78]). No association was observed between diet and B.longum. In conclusion, healthy adults with a higher intake of dairy products and fiber had lower odds of having a higher relative abundance of CRC-associated microbiota.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Hikikomori is commonly defined as a social condition in which individuals avoid social participation and relationships beyond their family members by confining themselves to a room or their house for 6 months or longer. Hikikomori has been predominantly considered a problem among young people; however, as the population is ageing, hikikomori has also emerged as a social issue among adults. Nevertheless, no comparative studies have examined the differences in the factors associated with hikikomori among teenagers/young adults and middle-aged/older adults. Thus, this phenomenon has not been thoroughly examined, and it remains unclear whether the risk factors vary between teenagers/young adults and middle-aged/older adults. Based on the Japan Cabinet Office's definition of hikikomori, this cross-sectional study evaluated the prevalence and related factors of hikikomori among the working age population (15-64 years), utilising univariate and multivariate analyses. The study also compared differences in the prevalence of and factors related to hikikomori between teenagers/young adults and middle-aged/older adults. METHODS We distributed self-administered questionnaires to individual participants and their families between 24 December 2020 and 18 January 2021. RESULTS Data from an anonymised sample of 3,092 individuals (split into two groups of 15-39 and 40-64 years) were subjected to analysis. The results revealed a hikikomori prevalence of 2.3% in the target population; the prevalence rate was 2.12% among individuals aged 15 to 39 years and 2.42% among those aged 40 to 64 years. The analysis demonstrated strong correlations between hikikomori and several factors, including unemployment, truancy, a history of psychiatric consultation or hospitalisation, being male and the absence of ibasho, which is defined as a place where individuals can feel peace, security, acceptance and belonging. The factors associated with hikikomori differed between teenagers/young adults and middle-aged/older adults. CONCLUSION Our findings, thus, contribute to existing research by providing a comparative analysis of risk factors across different age groups.

Abstract
The quality of indoor environment is a risk factor for early childhood eczema and atopic dermatitis; however, its influence during pregnancy on childhood eczema in Japan has not been investigated. In this study, we aimed to determine the indoor environmental factors that are associated with eczema in children up to 3 years of age, using national birth cohort data from the Japan Environment and Children's Study (JECS). Information on indoor environments and eczema symptoms until 3 years of age was collected using self-administered questionnaires to the mothers. A total of 71,883 and 58,639 mother-child pairs at 1.5- and 3-years-old, respectively, were included in the former analyses. To account for prenatal indoor risk factors, 17,568 (1.5-years-old) and 7063 (3-years-old) children without indoor mold and/or ETS exposure were included in the final analysis. A higher mold index, gas heater use, parquet flooring use, and frequent insecticide use showed significantly increased risks for childhood eczema up to 3 years of age. These associations were consistent after stratification analysis among children whose parents did not have a history of allergies. The updated WHO guidelines on indoor air quality should be implemented based on recent findings regarding the effects of prenatal exposure to indoor dampness on health effects of children further in life, including asthma, respiratory effects, eczema, and other immunological effects.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In Japan, few studies have examined suicide risk for five-year relative survival rates for cancer sites. Since five-year relative survival rates differ by sex, we aim to examine suicide risk for patients with cancer separately for men and women. METHODS We estimated the risk of suicide among patients with cancer by sex in Japan compared to the general population, using standardized mortality ratios (SMRs). Patients with cancer diagnosed between January 1, 1985-December 31, 2013 and registered in the Osaka Cancer Registry were followed-up with for up to 10 years. The outcome was suicide death. In addition, cancer sites were classified into three prognosis groups based on five-year relative survival rates: good (> 70%), moderate (40-70%), poor (< 40%). RESULTS Among 623 995 patients with cancer observed for 2 349 432 person-years, 1210 patients died by suicide (867 men and 343 women). The SMRs were almost equal for men (1.66, 95% CI, 1.55-1.77) and women (1.65, 95% CI, 1.48-1.83). SMRs for cancer prognosis groups were 1.01 (95% CI, 0.84-1.22) for men and 1.47 (95% CI, 1.24-1.73) for women in the good group, 1.53 (95% CI, 1.39-1.68) for men and 1.74 (95% CI, 1.47-2.05) for women in the moderate group, and 2.54 (95% CI, 2.27-2.85) for men and 1.87 (95% CI, 1.43-2.46) for women in the poor group. CONCLUSIONS In this population, both sexes had higher suicide risk with poor prognosis, but the difference in SMRs between the good and poor groups was smaller for women than men.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Many epidemiological studies have investigated dietary intake of antioxidant vitamins in relation to prostate cancer risk in Western countries, but the results are inconsistent. However, few studies have reported this relationship in Asian countries. METHODS We investigated the association between intake of vitamins, including lycopene, α-carotene, β-carotene, vitamin C, vitamin E, with prostate cancer risk in the Japan Public Health Center-based Prospective (JPHC) study. 40,720 men without history of cancer finished the food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) and were included in the study. Hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of prostate cancer risk were calculated according to the quintiles of energy-adjusted intake of vitamins using Cox models. RESULTS After an average of 15.2 years (617,599 person-years in total) of follow-up, 1,386 cases of prostate cancer were identified, including 944 localized cases and 340 advanced cases. No associations were observed in consumption of antioxidant vitamins, including α-carotene, β-carotene, vitamin C, and vitamin E, and prostate cancer risk. Although higher lycopene intake was associated with increased risk of prostate cancer (highest vs lowest quintile, HR 1.24; 95% CI, 1.04-1.47; P for trend = 0.01), there was a null association of lycopene intake with risk of prostate cancer detected by subjective symptoms (HR 1.12; 95% CI, 0.79-1.58; P for trend = 0.11). CONCLUSION Our study suggested no association between antioxidant intake of vitamins and prostate cancer risk.

Abstract
Objective To investigate the prognostic impact of bystander-initiated cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and public-access automated external defibrillator (AED) use on non-traumatic out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) occurring during school-supervised sports activities in children. Methods From a nationwide database of pediatric OHCAs occurring under school supervision in Japan, data between April 2008 and December 2020 were obtained. We analyzed non-traumatic OHCAs that occurred during school-supervised sports activities among schoolchildren from elementary, junior high, high, and technical colleges. A multivariable logistic regression model was used to evaluate the effect of basic life support (BLS) on 1-month survival with favorable neurological outcomes after OHCA. Results In total, 318 OHCA cases were analyzed. The 1-month survival with favorable neurological outcomes was 64.8% (164/253) in cases receiving both bystander-CPR and AED application, 40.7% (11/27) in cases receiving CPR only, 38.5% (5/13) in patients receiving AED application only, and 28.0% (7/25) in cases receiving no bystander intervention. Compared with cases receiving no BLS, cases receiving both CPR and AED had a significantly higher proportion of 1-month survival with favorable neurological outcomes (adjusted odds ratio [AOR]: 3.97, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.32-11.90, p = 0.014). However, compared to cases receiving no BLS, there was no significant difference in the outcome in the cases receiving CPR only (AOR: 1.35, 95% CI: 0.34-5.29, p = 0.671) and the cases receiving AED application only (AOR: 1.26, 95% CI: 0.25-6.38, p = 0.778). Conclusion The combination of CPR and AED as BLS performed by bystanders for non-traumatic OHCA during school-supervised sports activities improved the outcomes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the association between gestational age classification at birth and the risk of neurodevelopmental impairments at age 3 years. DESIGN Cohort study using the Japan Environment and Children's Study database. PATIENTS A total of 86 138 singleton children born without physical abnormalities at 32-41 weeks of gestation enrolled between January 2011 and March 2014. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Neurodevelopmental impairment, evaluated using the Ages and Stages Questionnaire (third edition). METHODS Logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the risk of neurodevelopmental impairment in moderate preterm, late preterm and early term children compared with term children after adjusting for socioeconomic and perinatal factors. RESULTS The respective adjusted ORs (95% CIs) of incidence of scores below the cut-off value (<-2.0 SD) at age 3 years for moderate preterm, late preterm and early term births, compared with full-term births, were as follows: communication, 2.40 (1.54 to 3.73), 1.43 (1.19 to 1.72) and 1.11 (1.01 to 1.21); gross motor, 2.55 (1.69 to 3.85), 1.62 (1.36 to 1.93) and 1.20 (1.10 to 1.30); fine motor, 1.93 (1.34 to 2.78), 1.55 (1.35 to 1.77) and 1.08 (1.01 to 1.15); problem solving, 1.80 (1.22 to 2.68), 1.36 (1.19 to 1.56) and 1.07 (1.00 to 1.14) and personal-social, 2.09 (1.29 to 3.40), 1.32 (1.07 to 1.63) and 1.00 (0.91 to 1.11). CONCLUSION Moderate preterm, late preterm and early term births were associated with developmental impairment at age 3 years compared with full-term births, with increasing prematurity. Careful follow-up of non-full-term children by paediatricians and other healthcare providers is necessary for early detection of neurodevelopmental impairment and implementation of available intervention.

Abstract
Several studies have investigated the association between the use of anti-cholesterol drugs and cancer risks, of which results have been inconsistent. This study included 67,768 participants from the Japan Public Health Center-based Prospective Study. The data on anti-cholesterol drug use was collected using three questionnaires of the survey conducted every five years. We divided the participants into three groups according to the duration of the anti-cholesterol drug use. Multivariable-adjusted Cox proportional hazard regression models were used to calculate hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI). During the 893,009 person-years of follow-up from the 10-year follow-up survey, 8,775 participants (5,387 men and 3,388 women) were newly diagnosed with cancers. The duration of anti-cholesterol drug use was significantly associated with a decreased risk of liver cancer (HR:0.26, 95% CI 0.11-0.64 in > 5 y group) and with an increased risk of pancreatic cancer (HR:1.59, 95% CI 1.03-2.47 in > 5 y group). Moreover, a different trend was observed between men and women in the association with the risk of lung cancer. This study suggested that long-term use of anti-cholesterol drugs may have associations with a decreased incidence of liver cancer and with an increased incidence of pancreatic cancers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The risk of Parkinson's disease (PD)-related death in patients with cancer largely unexplored. METHODS We analyzed data from the Neoplasms ANd other causes of DEath (NANDE) study, which investigates the causes of death in patients with cancer in Japan. Standardized mortality ratios (SMRs) were calculated to compare the risk of PD-related deaths in patients with cancer to that of the general population. Poisson regression models were employed to estimate the relative risk of PD-related death in the subgroups. RESULTS The cohort included 548,485 patients with cancer, yielding 2,047,398 person-years at risk from 1995 to 2013. During the study period, 242,250 patients died and 145 deaths were attributable to PD. The SMR for PD-related death was 2.34 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.99-2.75). Patients who were diagnosed with cancer before 70 years of age had a high SMR (>5) for PD-related deaths. The SMR of patients with mouth-to-stomach cancers (lip, oral cavity, pharynx, esophagus, and stomach cancers) was 3.72 (95% CI: 2.84-4.86), while that of those with other cancers was 1.93 (95% CI: 1.57-2.37). The multivariate Poisson regression model revealed that patients with mouth-to-stomach cancers were more likely to die of PD than those without (relative risk 2.07, 95 % CI; 1.46-2.93). CONCLUSIONS Patients with cancer are at a high risk of PD-related death; particularly, mouth-to-stomach cancers and potentially obstructing medication for PD are attributable to a high mortality risk. Careful management, including adequate PD treatment, would benefit cancer survivors with PD and reduce the risk of PD-related death.

Abstract
Importance Women with a high level of autistic traits in the general population may experience larger health disparities during pregnancy, particularly women diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), which in turn may be associated with increased risk of adverse birth outcomes. Objective To investigate the association between maternal autistic traits and the risk of adverse birth outcomes in the general population. Design, Setting, and Participants This cohort study included mothers of singletons from a nationwide, multicenter prospective birth cohort, the Japan Environmental Children's Study. Expecting mothers were recruited between January 2011 and March 2014. Data were analyzed between June 2021 and November 2023. Exposures Autistic traits were self-reported during the second and third trimesters using the short form of the Autism-Spectrum Quotient Japanese version (AQ-J10) (score range, 0-10; clinical range, ≥7). Main Outcomes and Measures Data on preterm birth (<37 weeks' gestation) and neonates born small for gestational age (SGA) were transcribed from medical records. Additional analysis of gestational age groups (very preterm birth, <32 weeks' gestation; moderate-to-late preterm birth, 32-36 weeks' gestation) was also performed. Results Among 87 687 women (mean [SD] age, 31.2 [5.0] years) included in the study, 2350 (2.7%) had AQ-J10 scores within the clinical range yet only 18 (0.02%) were diagnosed with ASD. A higher AQ-J10 score was associated with an increased risk of all birth outcomes, including preterm births (relative risk [RR] per 1-SD increase, 1.06; 95% CI, 1.03-1.09), moderate-to-late preterm births (RR per 1-SD increase, 1.05; 95% CI, 1.01-1.08), very preterm births (RR per 1-SD increase, 1.16; 95% CI, 1.06-1.26), and child born SGA (RR per 1-SD increase, 1.04; 95% CI, 1.01-1.06) after adjusting for maternal and pregnancy-related factors. The risks of all outcomes increased with higher AQ-J10 scores; compared with women below the clinical range, women within the clinical range had greater risk of preterm births (RR, 1.16; 95% CI, 1.07-1.26), moderate-to-late preterm births (RR, 1.12; 95% CI, 1.03-1.22), very preterm births (RR, 1.49; 95% CI, 1.18-1.89), and a child born SGA (RR, 1.11; 95% CI, 1.04-1.19). Conclusions and Relevance In this cohort study, higher level of maternal autistic traits was associated with increased risk of adverse birth outcomes, particularly very preterm birth. Acknowledging the risks and providing tailored and timely antenatal care support to women with a high level of autistic traits in the general population, particularly women with autistic traits within the clinical range, regardless of formal diagnosis, is warranted.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Social relationships are essential in maintaining the physical and mental health of mothers and their children. However, there is limited evidence on how social support provided to the mother during pregnancy could impact child development. Herein, we examined whether maternal social support levels during pregnancy was associated with the risk of developmental delay in 3-year-old children. METHODS Overall, 68,442 mother-child pairs completed questionnaires on maternal social support during pregnancy and development delay in 3-year-old children. The maternal social support level was evaluated using four items. The risk of development delay was evaluated using the Japanese version of the Ages and Stages Questionnaire-3 (ASQ-3) with five domains of communication, gross motor, fine motor, problem-solving, and personal-social. Odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated using logistic regression according to the quintiles of maternal social support levels after adjusting for potential confounding factors. RESULTS Social support during pregnancy was associated with a lower risk of development delay at 3 years of age. Beneficial effects were detected in all domains of the ASQ-3 (p for trend <0.001). Multivariable ORs (95% CIs) for the highest versus lowest quartiles of maternal social support level were 0.57 (0.50-0.65) for communication, 0.49 (0.43-0.55) for gross motor delay, 0.58 (0.53-0.64) for fine motor delay, 0.56 (0.51-0.62) for problem-solving delay, and 0.52 (0.45-0.60) for personal social delay. The associations remained unchanged when stratified by maternal education level, paternal education level, living with children, household income, and postpartum depression. CONCLUSION Maternal social support during pregnancy was inversely associated with the risk of developmental delay at 3 years of age.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Few prospective cohort studies have examined the association between maternal diabetes, including pre-pregnancy and gestational diabetes, and the risk of congenital heart disease (CHD) in Asian offspring. METHODS We examined the association between maternal diabetes and offspring CHD among 97,094 mother-singleton infant pairs in the Japan Environment and Children's Study (JECS) between January 2011 and March 2014. Odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) of offspring CHD based on maternal diabetes (pre-pregnancy diabetes and gestational diabetes) were estimated using logistic regression after adjusting for maternal age at delivery, pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI), maternal smoking habits, alcohol consumption, annual household income, and maternal education. The diagnosis of CHD in the offspring was ascertained from the transcript of medical records. RESULTS The incidence of CHD in the offspring was 1,132. Maternal diabetes, including both pre-pregnancy diabetes and gestational diabetes, was associated with a higher risk of offspring CHD: multivariable OR (95%CI) = 1.81 (1.40-2.33) for maternal diabetes, 2.39 (1.05-5.42) for pre-pregnancy diabetes and 1.77 (1.36-2.30) for gestational diabetes. A higher risk of offspring CHD was observed in pre-pregnancy BMI ≥25.0 kg/m2 (OR = 2.55, 95% CI: 1.74-3.75) than in pre-pregnancy BMI <25.0 kg/m2 (OR = 1.49, 95% CI: 1.05-2.10, p for interaction = 0.04). CONCLUSIONS Maternal diabetes, including both pre-pregnancy and gestational, was associated with an increased risk of CHD in offspring.

Abstract
There is limited evidence regarding the association between graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and reduced relapse in patients who undergo allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation from haploidentical donors (haplo-HSCT) using post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCY). We investigated the association between GVHD and transplant outcomes in 938 patients who received haplo-HSCT using PTCY. Overall survival (OS), relapse rate, and non-relapse mortality (NRM) were evaluated using landmark analysis at the landmark points at 100 and 360 days after HSCT for acute and chronic GVHD, respectively. Grade I-II acute GVHD was not associated with OS (adjusted hazard ratio: 1.15, 95% confidence interval: 0.85-1.57), relapse (1.03, 0.74-1.45) and NRM (1.15, 0.74-1.77). Conversely, grade III-IV acute GVHD was associated with higher NRM (3.16, 1.61-6.19), but no other outcomes. Limited chronic GVHD was not associated with OS (1.11, 0.48-1.95), relapse (1.05, 0.30-3.75) and NRM (1.30, 0.45-3.79). Extensive chronic GVHD was associated with higher NRM (2.40, 1.03-5.57), but no other outcome. In conclusion, any GVHD was not associated with a reduced relapse rate and improved OS, and Grade III-IV acute GVHD and extensive chronic GVHD were associated with higher NRM in patients who received haplo-HSCT using PTCY.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Data on the risk of cardiovascular-related mortality in patients with cancer are limited. METHODS AND RESULTS This retrospective cohort study used data from the Osaka Cancer Registry and vital statistics in Japan between 1985 and 2013. The causes of death were investigated, and the risk of fatal heart disease was analyzed. Standardized mortality ratios were calculated to compare the risk of fatal heart disease between patients with cancer and the general population. Fine and Gray competing risk regression models were used to assess the risk of fatal heart disease among patients with cancer. In total, 682 886 patients with cancer were included in the analysis, and 335 635 patients died during the study period. Heart disease was the leading cause of noncancer deaths, with 10 686 deaths. Among the patients who died of heart disease, 5017 had ischemic heart disease, 3598 had heart failure, 356 had hypertensive disease, and 1715 had other heart diseases. The standardized mortality ratio for heart disease was 2.80 (95% CI, 2.74-2.85). The standardized mortality ratio for ischemic heart disease, heart failure, and hypertensive disease were 3.26 (95% CI, 3.17-3.35), 2.69 (95% CI, 2.60-2.78), and 5.97 (95% CI, 5.38-6.63), respectively. The risk of fatal heart disease increased over time after cancer diagnosis. Men were more likely to die of heart disease than women (subdistribution hazard ratio, 1.08 [95% CI, 1.02-1.16]). The risk of fatal heart disease among cancer survivors has decreased in recent years. CONCLUSIONS Cancer survivors have a higher risk of fatal heart disease than the general population.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Several studies have investigated that anticholinergic drugs cause cognitive impairment. However, the risk of dementia associated with anticholinergics has not been extensively investigated in the super-aging society of Japan. We conducted this study to assess the association between anticholinergic drugs and the risk of dementia in older adults in Japan. METHODS This nested case-control study used data from the Longevity Improvement & Fair Evidence Study, which includes claim data in Japan from 2014 to 2020. We included 66,478 cases of diagnosed dementia and 328,919 matched controls aged ≥65 years, matched by age, sex, municipality, and cohort entry year. Primary exposure was the total cumulative anticholinergic drugs prescribed from cohort entry date to event date or matched index date, which was the total standardized daily doses for each patient, calculated by adding the total dose of different types of anticholinergic drugs in each prescription, divided by the World Health Organization-defined daily dose values. Odds ratios for dementia associated with cumulative exposure to anticholinergic drugs were calculated using conditional logistic regression adjusted for confounding variables. RESULTS The mean (standard deviation) age at index date was 84.3 (6.9), and the percentage of women was 62.1%. From cohort entry date to event date or matched index date, 18.8% of the case patients and 13.7% of the controls were prescribed at least one anticholinergic drug. In the multivariable-adjusted model, individuals with anticholinergic drugs prescribed had significantly higher odds of being diagnosed with dementia (adjusted odds ratio, 1.50 [95% confidence interval, 1.47-1.54]). Among specific types of anticholinergic drugs, a significant increase in risk was observed with the use of antidepressants, antiparkinsonian drugs, antipsychotics, and bladder antimuscarinics in a fully multivariable-adjusted model. CONCLUSIONS Several types of anticholinergic drugs used by older adults in Japan are associated with an increased risk of dementia. These findings suggest that the underlying risks should be considered alongside the benefits of prescribing anticholinergic drugs to this population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous epidemiologic studies found inconsistent associations between fish consumption and renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Although the consumption of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) was reported to protect against the development of some types of cancer, little is known regarding its association with RCC. METHODS We investigated the association between fish and n-3 PUFA consumption and RCC risk using the Japan Public Health Center-based Prospective Study. We examined data from 84,063 eligible Japanese participants aged 45 to 74 years who responded to a validated food frequency questionnaire for Cohort I in 1995 and Cohort II in 1998. The participants were followed-up until 2013. HRs and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were estimated using a multivariable-adjusted Cox proportional hazard model, and the exposure level was categorized into quartiles. RESULTS Among the 1,272,298 person-years of follow-up, 262 cases of newly diagnosed RCC were identified. The multivariate-adjusted HRs for the highest vs. lowest quartile of fish, including shellfish, were (HR = 1.43; 95% CI, 0.98-2.07) and the individual marine n-3 PUFAs were (HR = 1.56; 95% CI, 1.07-2.28; Ptrend = 0.09) for eicosapentenoic acid, (HR = 1.81; 95% CI, 1.27-2.59; Ptrend = 0.01) for docosapentaenoic acid, and (HR = 1.56; 95% CI, 1.07-2.27; Ptrend = 0.09) for docosahexaenoic acid. RCC were further categorized on the basis of diagnosis methods and cancer stage, and the positive correlation did not change substantially. CONCLUSIONS We demonstrated that high consumption of n-3 PUFA is associated with RCC risk. IMPACT The positive association between n-3 PUFA and RCC risk was observed in Japanese who consume higher amounts of fish than Western populations.

Abstract
Developing a subsequent cancer is one of the major concerns for cancer survivors; however, whether prior cancer could affect their prognosis is unknown. We therefore aimed to analyze how prognosis varies depending on prior cancer in patients with newly developed cancer, focusing on cancer that had been "cured." We used the record-linked database of the Osaka Cancer Registry and Vital Statistics to select 186,798 patients with stomach, colorectal, or lung cancer aged ≥40 years from 1995 to 2009 in Osaka, Japan. These cancers were defined as index cancers. We classified the patients into two groups according to whether they had a prior cancer diagnosis within 10 years before the index cancer diagnosis. The cured proportion was defined as the proportion of cancer patients with the same mortality as the general population and was estimated using the parametric mixture cure model. The cured proportion of patients with prior cancer by sex and age group was not significantly lower than those without prior cancer, except for patients with stomach cancer aged ≥65 years. According to the index cancer stage in the localized stomach or colorectal cancer, the cured proportion in patients with prior cancer was lower than in those without prior cancer. However, at any stage of lung cancer, the proportion of patients with prior cancer who had been cured was similar to patients without prior cancer, therefore prior cancer had a prognostic impact only in some patient groups based on the characteristics of their index cancer.

Abstract
This observational cohort study aimed to evaluate the association between the duration of neonatal phototherapy and sleep-and-wakefulness states at 1 month, 1.5 years, and 3 years of age. We analysed data from 77,876 infants using the Japan Environment and Children's Study, a nationwide birth cohort study. The participants were divided into three groups: no phototherapy, short phototherapy (1-24 h), and long phototherapy (>24 h). Multiple regression analysis was performed to assess the effect of phototherapy duration on infant sleep at each age after adjusting for potential risk factors. A longer duration of phototherapy was associated with a shorter sleep time over 24 h at 1 month of age (β, -0.62; SE, -0.77 to -0.47) when compared with a shorter duration of, or no, phototherapy, following the adjustment of confounding factors. Contrastingly, the short duration group, when compared with the no phototherapy group, was associated with later sleep onset (β, 0.04; SE, 0.00-0.08) and later sleep offset (β, 0.05; SE, 0.01-0.09) at 1.5 years of age. We concluded that the duration of phototherapy may be transiently associated with sleep duration in infants, as emphasised by the shortening of the total sleep time per 24 h at 1 month of age.

Abstract
AIM Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) has a poor prognosis in children; however, the annual patterns of prognosis and treatment have not been fully investigated. METHODS From the Japanese Association for Acute Medicine OHCA registry, a multicenter prospective observational registry in Japan, we identified pediatric patients (zero to 17 years old) between June 2014 and December 2019. The primary outcome was one-month survival. We investigated the annual patterns in patient characteristics, treatment, and one-month prognosis. RESULTS During the study period, 1188 patients were eligible for analysis. For all years, the zero-year-old group accounted for a large percentage of the total population (between 30% and 40%). There were significant increases in the rates of bystander-initiated cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR; from 50.6% to 62.3%, p = 0.003), dispatcher instructions (from 44.7% to 65.7%, p = 0.001), and adrenaline administration (from 2.4% to 6.9%, p = 0.014) over time, whereas the rate of advanced airway management decreased significantly (from 17.7% to 8.8%, p = 0.003). The odds ratios for one-month survival adjusted for potential resuscitation factors also did not change significantly (from 7.1% to 10.3%, adjusted odds ratio for one-year increment = 0.98, confidence interval: 0.86-1.11). CONCLUSION Despite an increase in the rate of bystander-initiated CPR and pre-hospital adrenaline administration, there was no significant change in one-month survival.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Prenatal exposure to metallic elements may adversely affect early childhood health. However, more evidence is needed as population-based cohort studies are currently limited. OBJECTIVES We aimed to examine the associations between prenatal metallic (mercury, selenium, and manganese) exposure and the risk of allergic diseases in early childhood until three years of age. METHODS The data from 94,794 mother-infant pairs, who participated in the Japan Environment and Children's study, were used in this study. Prenatal metallic element exposure was measured in maternal blood collected during mid-pregnancy. The incidence of atopic dermatitis, food allergies, asthma, and allergic rhinitis during the first three years of life was prospectively investigated using self-reports of physician-diagnosed allergies. A multivariable modified Poisson regression model was used to estimate the cumulative incidence ratio and their 95% confidence intervals of allergic diseases associated with prenatal exposure to mercury, selenium, and manganese. We further evaluated the interaction between mercury and selenium exposures in this association. RESULTS We confirmed 26,238 cases of childhood allergic diseases: atopic dermatitis, food allergies, asthma, and allergic rhinitis in 9,715 (10.3%), 10,897 (11.5%), and 9,857 (10.4%), 4,630 (4.9%), respectively. No association was found between prenatal mercury or manganese exposure and the risk of allergic diseases. Prenatal selenium exposure was inversely associated with atopic dermatitis, food allergies, allergic rhinitis, and any allergic diseases, but not with asthma. These inverse associations were more pronounced for lower mercury exposures than for higher exposures. CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggest that prenatal exposure to selenium may be beneficial for reducing the risk of atopic dermatitis, food allergies, allergic rhinitis, and any allergic diseases in early childhood, especially with lower prenatal mercury exposure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Little is known about the transport and outcomes of emergency patients with cardiocerebrovascular diseases in Japan before and during the COVID-19 pandemic.Methods and Results: Data were extracted from a population-based registry in Osaka, Japan, from 2019 to 2021. There were almost no differences in the numbers of emergency patients hospitalized with myocardial infarction, stroke, or heart failure or their deaths. However, the number of cases of difficulty obtaining patient acceptance by hospitals increased in 2020 and 2021 compared with 2019. CONCLUSIONS The numbers of emergency patients hospitalized with cardiocerebrovascular diseases and their deaths in Osaka were not affected by the COVID-19 epidemic.

Abstract
We aimed to clarify the differences in causes of death among patients with breast cancer according to age at diagnosis and years elapsed since diagnosis. Using data from the Osaka Cancer Registry and Vital Statistics databases, 40,690 female patients diagnosed with primary breast cancer between 1985 and 2006 were included in this study. The statistics on all deaths between 1985 to 2016 were collected, and the observation period was 10 years (2006-2016). Mortality hazards according to age at diagnosis and years elapsed since diagnosis were estimated using a flexible parametric estimation. Of the 40,690 patients, 13,676 (34%) died from all-cause death, and the 10-year survival rate was 65.74% (95% confidence interval: 65.28-66.21). The proportions of deaths were 10,531 (77%) from breast cancer, 1048 (8%) from other cancers, and 2097 (15%) from non-cancer causes. The mortality hazard for deaths from breast cancer was initially high and then declined, whereas that for deaths from other cancers and non-cancer causes was initially low and then increased. The more likely causes of death 5 years after breast cancer diagnosis were other cancers or non-cancer causes among patients aged ≥70 years.

Abstract
Higher fiber intake has been associated with a lower risk of colorectal cancer (CRC) and has been shown to protect against CRC based on probable evidence. Recent studies revealed a possible mechanism whereby the interaction between intestinal microbiota and fiber intake mediates CRC risk. However, the specific intestinal bacteria and the amount of these bacteria involved in this mechanism are not fully known. Therefore, this single-center study aimed to determine whether specific intestinal bacteria mediated the relationship between fiber intake and CRC risk. We enrolled patients who received colonoscopy at National Cancer Center Hospital. This cross-sectional study included 180 patients with clinically diagnosed CRC and 242 controls. We conducted a causal mediation analysis to assess the natural indirect effect and natural direct effect of specific intestinal bacteria on association between fiber intake and CRC risk. The median age was 64 (interquartile range, 54-70) years, and 58% of the participants were males. We used metagenomics for profiling gut microbiomes. The relative abundance of each species in each sample was calculated. Among the candidate, Fusobacterium nucleatum and Gemella morbillorum had a significant natural indirect effect based on their highest fiber intake compared to the lowest fiber intake, with a risk difference (95% confidence interval, proportion of mediation effect) of -0.06 [-0.09 to -0.03, 23%] and -0.03 [-0.06 to -0.01, 10.5%], respectively. Other bacteria did not display natural indirect effects. In conclusion, Fusobacterium nucleatum and Gemella morbillorum were found to mediate the relationship between fiber intake and CRC risk.

Abstract
Long-term air pollution exposure has been linked to increased lung cancer mortality. However, little is known about whether day-to-day fluctuations in air pollution levels are in relation to lung cancer mortality, particularly in low-exposure settings. This study aimed to evaluate the short-term associations between air pollution and lung cancer mortality. Daily data on lung cancer mortality, fine particulate matter (PM2.5), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), sulfur dioxide (SO2), carbon monoxide (CO), and weather conditions were collected from Osaka Prefecture, Japan, from 2010 to 2014. Generalized linear models were combined with quasi-Poisson regression were applied to evaluate the associations between each air pollutant and lung cancer mortality after adjusting for potential confounders. Mean (standard deviation) concentrations of PM2.5, NO2, SO2, and CO were 16.7 (8.6) μg/m3, 36.8 (14.2) μg/m3, 11.1 (4.0) μg/m3, and 0.51 (0.16) mg/m3, respectively. Interquartile range increases in concentrations of PM2.5, NO2, SO2, and CO (2-d moving average) were associated with 2.65% (95% confidence intervals [CIs]: 0.96%-4.37%), 4.28% (95% CIs: 2.24%-6.36%), 3.35% (95% CIs: 1.03%-5.73%), and 4.60% (95% CIs: 2.19%-7.05%) increased risk of lung cancer mortality, respectively. Stratified analyses showed that the associations were strongest in the older population and men. Exposure‒response curves showed a continuously increasing mortality risk from lung cancer with elevation of air pollution levels, without discernible thresholds. In summary, we found evidence of increased lung cancer mortality in relation to short-term elevations in ambient air pollution. These findings may merit further research to better understand this issue.

Abstract
A causal relationship between mesothelioma and the occupational asbestos exposure is well known, while few studies have shown a relationship to non-occupational exposures. The aim of this study was to quantify the risk of mesothelioma death associated with neighborhood asbestos exposures due to a large-scale asbestos-cement (AC) plant in Amagasaki, Japan, adjusting properly considerable risk factors including occupational exposures. We conducted a nested case-control study in which a fixed population of 143,929 residents who had been living in Amagasaki City between 1975 and 2002 were followed from 2002 to 2015. All 133 cases and 403 matched controls were interviewed about their occupational, domestic, household, and neighborhood asbestos exposures. Odds ratios (ORs) for mesothelioma death associated with the neighborhood exposure were estimated by a conditional logistic-regression model. For quantitative assessments for neighborhood exposure, we adopted cumulative indices for individuals' residential histories at each residence-specific asbestos concentration multiplied by the duration during the potential exposure period of 1957-1975 (crocidolite). We observed an increasing, dose-dependent risk of mesothelioma death associated with the neighborhood exposure, demonstrating that ORs in the highest quintile category were 21.4 (95% CI: 5.8 - 79.2) for all, 23.7 (95% CI: 3.8 -147.2) for males, and 26.0 (95% CI: 2.8 - 237.5) for females compared to the lowest quintile, respectively. A quantitative assessment for risk of mesothelioma deaths, adjusting for occupational and the other non-occupational exposures separately, showed a dose-dependent association with the neighborhood exposure and no substantial gender differences in magnitude.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Tracheostomy is a common procedure with potential prognostic advantages for patients who require prolonged mechanical ventilation (PMV). Early recommendations for patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) suggested delayed or limited tracheostomy considering the risk for viral transmission to clinicians. However, updated guidelines for tracheostomy with appropriate personal protective equipment have revised its indications. This study aimed to evaluate the association between tracheostomy and prognosis in patients with COVID-19 requiring PMV. METHODS This was a multicenter, retrospective cohort study using data from the nationwide Japanese Intensive Care PAtient Database. We included adult patients aged ≥16 years who were admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) due to COVID-19 and who required PMV (for >14 days or until performance of tracheostomy). The primary outcome was hospital mortality, and the association between implementation of tracheostomy and patient prognosis was assessed using weighted Cox proportional hazards regression analysis with inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) using the propensity score to address confounders. RESULTS Between January 2020 and February 2021, 453 patients with COVID-19 were observed. Data from 109 patients who required PMV were analyzed: 66 (60.6%) underwent tracheostomy and 38 (34.9%) died. After adjusting for potential confounders using IPTW, tracheostomy implementation was found to significantly reduce hospital mortality (hazard ratio [HR]: 0.316, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.163-0.612). Patients who underwent tracheostomy had a similarly decreased ICU and 28-day mortality (HR: 0.269, 95% CI: 0.124-0.581; HR 0.281, 95% CI: 0.094-0.839, respectively). A sensitivity analysis using different definitions of PMV duration consistently showed reduced mortality in patients who underwent tracheostomy. CONCLUSION The implementation of tracheostomy was associated with favorable patient prognosis among patients with COVID-19 requiring PMV. Our findings support proactive tracheostomy in critically ill patients with COVID-19 requiring mechanical ventilation for >14 days.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to investigate the association between serum cholesterol and triglyceride levels and breast cancer risk in Japanese women. METHODS We retrospectively evaluated the association between the levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and triglycerides (TGs) and the incidence of breast cancer in a cohort study by using the health insurance claims and health checkup data from a database provided by JMDC Inc. We included 956,390 women who were insured between April 2008 and June 2019, identified breast cancer cases by using validated definitions, and estimated the risk of breast cancer by using multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression models adjusted for potential confounders. RESULTS During the 2,832,277 person-years observation period (median 2.4 years), 6284 participants were diagnosed with breast cancer. There was marginally significant association between LDL-C and breast cancer risk when comparing the highest and lowest quintiles and at the clinical cutoff values for diagnosing hyperlipidemia. HDL-C was not associated with breast cancer. However, when stratified by age groups (< 50 and ≥ 50), HDL-C was inversely associated with breast cancer risk in women over 50 years old. TG was not associated with breast cancer risk. CONCLUSION In this population, there was a modest association of LDL-C at the clinical cutoff values for diagnosing hyperlipidemia (140 mg/mL), and there were no associations of HDL-C and TG with breast cancer risk.

Abstract
The protective effect of the 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPSV23) against cardiovascular disease has been investigated in the United States and Europe; however, its effect has not been fully established. This study aimed to investigate the protective effect of PPSV23 on cardiovascular events in adults aged ≥ 65 years. This population-based nested case-control study was conducted using the claims data and vaccine records between April 2015 and March 2020 from the Vaccine Effectiveness, Networking, and Universal Safety (VENUS) Study. PPSV23 vaccination was identified using vaccination records in each municipality. The primary outcome was acute myocardial infarction (AMI) or stroke. The adjusted odds ratios (aORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for PPSV23 vaccination were calculated using conditional logistic regression. Among 383,781 individuals aged ≥ 65 years, 5,356 and 25,730 individuals with AMI or stroke were matched with 26,753 and 128,397 event-free controls, respectively. Individuals who were PPSV23 vaccinated, compared with the unvaccinated individuals, had significantly lower odds of AMI or stroke events (aOR, 0.70 [95% CI, 0.62-0.80] and aOR, 0.81 [95% CI, 0.77-0.86], respectively). More recent PPSV23 vaccination was associated with lower odds ratios (AMI, aOR 0.55 [95% CI, 0.42-0.72] for 1-180 days and aOR 1.11 [95% CI, 0.84-1.47] for 720 days or longer; stroke, aOR 0.83 [95% CI, 0.74-0.93] for 1-180 days and aOR 0.90 [95% CI, 0.78-1.03] for 720 days or longer). Among Japanese older adults, individuals who were PPSV23 vaccinated, compared with unvaccinated individuals, had significantly lower odds of AMI or stroke events.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Some studies have investigated the relation between dairy products and mortality, but with inconsistent results. OBJECTIVE We examined the association between the consumption of dairy products and the risk of all-cause, cancer-related, and cardiovascular disease (CVD)-related mortality. METHODS From the Japan Public Health Center-based Prospective (JPHC) study, 43,117 males and 50,193 females with no history of cancer or CVD finished the food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) and were included in the study. Intake of dairy products was assessed using the FFQ and adjusted for total energy by using the residual method. We used multivariate Cox proportional hazard models to calculate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) for mortality risk in males and females. RESULTS 14,211 deaths in males and 9547 deaths in females from all causes were identified during an average follow-up of 19.3 years. For males, total dairy consumption was nonlinearly and significantly associated with lower risk of mortality from all causes [the third quartile, HR = 0.87 (0.83, 0.91), the fourth quartile, HR = 0.89 (0.85, 0.94), P for nonlinearity < 0.001] and CVD [the third quartile, HR = 0.77 (0.70, 0.85), the fourth quartile, HR = 0.78 (0.70, 0.86), P for nonlinearity < 0.001]. Milk and fermented milk intake were inversely associated with all-cause and CVD-related mortality in males. Cheese consumption was inversely associated with CVD-related mortality among males. There was no association between total dairy intake and mortality risk among females. CONCLUSION For Japanese people, consumption of dairy products was associated with a decreased risk of mortality from all-cause and cardiovascular diseases among males.

Abstract
This retrospective study investigated the 3-year impact of the Great East Japan Earthquake (GEJE) of 2011 on deaths due to neoplasm, heart disease, stroke, pneumonia, and senility among older adults in the primarily affected prefectures compared with other prefectures, previous investigations having been more limited as regards mortality causes and geographic areas. Using death certificates issued between 2006 and 2015 (n = 7,383,253), mortality rates (MRs) and risk ratios (RRs) were calculated using a linear mixed model with the log-transformed MR as the response variable. The model included interactions between the area category and each year of death from 2010 to 2013. The RRs in the interaction significantly increased to 1.13, 1.17, and 1.28 for deaths due to stroke, pneumonia, and senility, respectively, in Miyagi Prefecture in 2011, but did not significantly increase for any of the other areas affected by the GEJE. Moreover, increased RRs were not reported for any of the other years. The risk of death increased in 2011; however, this was only significant for single-year impact. In 2013, decreased RRs of pneumonia in the Miyagi and Iwate prefectures and of senility in Fukushima Prefecture were observed. Overall, we did not find evidence of strong associations between the GEJE and mortality.

Abstract
Survival information for Japanese patients with cancer is based only on survival status and the cause of death among these patients remains unclear. In this study, Osaka Cancer Registry data (1985–2014) and vital statistics data (1985–2016) were linked to create a database, permitting the extraction of data on the causes of death. In total, 522,566 subjects diagnosed with cancer between 1995 and 2011 were analyzed. Follow-up for vital status was conducted 5 and 10 years after cancer diagnosis. To evaluate the three causes of death (index cancer, non-index cancer, and non-cancer death), cause-specific hazard and cumulative incidence functions were estimated using a life table and Gray’s methods. The number of deaths owing to any of the causes in the observation period (median: 3.51 years, mean: 4.90 years) was 394,146. The 5- and 10-year cancer-specific survival rate was 48.56% and 39.92%, respectively. Immediately after cancer onset, the hazard of index cancer death was high. The proportion of non-index cancer deaths was high in patients with mouth and pharynx cancers. The hazard of index cancer death remained constant for breast and liver cancers. In prostate, breast, and laryngeal cancers with good prognosis, the hazard of non-index cancer and non-cancer death constantly increased.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acrylamide (AA) is classified as "probably carcinogenic to humans (class 2A)" by the International Agency for Research on Cancer. AA causes cancer owing to its mutagenic and genotoxic metabolite, glycidamide (GA), and its effects on sex hormones. Both AA and GA can interact with hemoglobin to hemoglobin adducts (HbAA and HbGA, respectively), which are considered appropriate biomarkers of internal exposure of AA. However, few epidemiologic studies reported an association of HbAA and HbGA with breast cancer. METHODS We conducted a nested case-control study within the Japan Public Health Center-based Prospective Study cohort (125 cases and 250 controls). Cases and controls were categorized into tertiles (lowest, middle, and highest) using the distribution of HbAA or HbGA levels in the control group and estimated ORs and 95% confidence intervals (CI) using conditional logistic regression, adjusting for potential confounders. RESULTS No association was observed between HbAA (ORHighestvs.Lowest, 1.34; 95% CI, 0.69-2.59), HbGA (ORHighest vs. Lowest, 1.46; 95% CI, 0.79-2.69), their sum HbAA+HbGA (ORHighest vs. Lowest, 1.36; 95% CI, 0.72-2.58) and breast cancer; however, some evidence of positive association was observed between their ratio, HbGA/HbAA, and breast cancer (ORHighest vs. Lowest, 2.19; 95% CI, 1.11-4.31). CONCLUSIONS There was no association between biomarkers of AA and breast cancer. IMPACT It is unlikely that AA increases breast cancer risk; however, the association of AA with breast cancer may need to be evaluated, with a focus not only on the absolute amount of HbAA or HbGA but also on HbGA/HbAA and the activity of metabolic genes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Prehospital termination of resuscitation (TOR) rules can be recommended for adults with out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCAs). This study aimed to investigate whether adult basic life support (BLS) and advanced life support (ALS) TOR rules can predict neurologically unfavorable one-month outcome for pediatric OHCA patients. METHODS From a nationwide population-based observational cohort study, we extracted data of consecutive pediatric OHCA patients (0-17 years old) from January 1, 2005, to December 31, 2011. The BLS TOR rule has three criteria, whereas the ALS TOR rule includes two additional criteria. We selected pediatric OHCA patients that met all criteria for each TOR rule and calculated the specificity and positive predictive value (PPV) of each TOR rule for identifying pediatric OHCA patients who did not have neurologically favorable one-month outcome. RESULTS Of the 12,740 pediatric OHCA patients eligible for the evaluation of the BLS TOR rule, 10,803 patients met the BLS TOR rule, with a specificity of 0.785 and a PPV of 0.987 for predicting a lack of neurologically favorable one-month survival. Of the 2,091 for the ALS TOR rule, 381 patients met the ALS TOR rule, with a specificity of 0.986 and a PPV of 0.997 for predicting neurologically unfavorable one-month outcome. CONCLUSIONS The adult BLS and ALS TOR rules had a high PPV for predicting pediatric OHCA patients without a neurologically favorable survival at one month after onset.

Abstract
AIM The 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake (GEJE) was a disaster leading to radiation exposure and psychological distress, particularly among pregnant women. However, it is not known how this affected the seasonal changes of pregnancy and childbirth. Therefore, this study investigated the impact of the GEJE in the Fukushima Prefecture on spontaneous and induced abortions with regard to seasonal variability. METHODS We used the data of vital statistics of live birth and stillbirth registry and the census survey of the Fukushima Maternity Care Facility. We calculated the spontaneous and induced abortion rate for 2011-2016 using two different methods (cross-sectional and longitudinal). We calculated the quartiles and outliers to determine the impact and duration of the GEJE. Periodicity was investigated using spectral density analysis. The data were analyzed for the entire Fukushima Prefecture and by region. RESULTS The spontaneous abortion rate did not show specific changes after the GEJE. Contrarily, the monthly analysis in the cross-sectional method, revealed specific increases in induced abortion rate during the year after the GEJE; in the longitudinal method, induced abortions increased among women who became pregnant within 1 year after the GEJE. Spontaneous abortion showed no specific periodicity, while induced abortion showed cycles of 6 and 12 months, with a particular increase in May each year. CONCLUSIONS The spontaneous abortion rate was not affected by the GEJE. The changes in the induced abortion rate after the disaster may have overlapped with the timing of the increased periodicity, and cannot be attributed solely to the GEJE.

Abstract
UNLABELLED This observational cohort study aimed to examine the association between the duration of phototherapy for neonatal jaundice and the risk of developmental delay at 3 years of age using nationwide birth cohort data. Data from 76,897 infants were analyzed. We divided participants into four groups: no phototherapy, short phototherapy (1-24 h), long phototherapy (25-48 h), and very long phototherapy (> 48 h). The Japanese version of the Ages and Stages Questionnaire-3 was used to evaluate the risk of developmental delay at 3 years of age. Logistic regression analysis was performed to assess the impact of phototherapy duration on the prevalence of developmental delay. After adjustment for potential risk factors, a dose-response relationship was identified between the duration of phototherapy and Ages and Stages Questionnaire-3, and the differences were significant in four domains; odds ratio for communication delay was associated with short, long, and very long phototherapy = 1.10 (95% confidence interval 0.97-1.26), 1.32 (1.04-2.66), and 1.48 (1.11-1.98), respectively; for gross motor delay = 1.01 (0.89-1.15), 1.28 (1.03-2.58), and 1.26 (0.96-1.67); for problem solving delay = 1.13 (1.03-1.25), 1.19 (0.99-1.43), and 1.41 (1.11-1.79); and for personal social delay = 1.15 (0.99-1.32), 1.10 (0.84-1.44), and 1.84 (1.38-2.45). CONCLUSION Longer duration of phototherapy is a predictive factor for developmental delay, making it important to avoid extended periods of phototherapy. However, whether it increases the prevalence of developmental delay remains unclear. WHAT IS KNOWN • Phototherapy is a common treatment for neonatal jaundice, associated with both short-term and long-term complications. • However, an association between phototherapy and the prevalence of developmental delay has not been revealed in a large cohort study. WHAT IS NEW • We identified that a long duration of phototherapy was a predictive factor for developmental delay at 3 years of age. • However, whether a long duration of phototherapy increases the prevalence of developmental delay remains unclear.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Few cohort studies have used multiple surveys of screening attendance to simultaneously evaluate the effectiveness of fecal occult blood test (FOBT) and colonoscopy. METHODS We analyzed data of 30,381 middle-aged Japanese adults from a population-based prospective cohort study. Information on FOBT and colonoscopy was obtained from three questionnaire surveys (every 5 years). We classified the subjects into three groups: the FOBT (15,649 subjects), screening colonoscopy (2,407 subjects), and unscreened (12,325 subjects) groups. We used the unscreened group as the reference group to compare the mortality and incidence of colorectal cancer (CRC). RESULTS During the 14-year follow-up, 64, 12, and 104 CRC deaths were identified in the FOBT, screening colonoscopy, and unscreened groups, respectively. The risk of CRC death reduced with increasing the number of FOBTs (P for trend = 0.02) and was reduced by 44% in the subjects screened twice or thrice using FOBT (hazard ratio [HR] 0.56; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.33-0.94). Significant decreases were seen for the incidence of CRC but not seen for the incidence of non-advanced CRC in the FOBT group. Concerning the screening colonoscopy, subjects screened at the start of follow-up showed a 69% reduced risk of CRC death (HR 0.31; 95% CI, 0.10-0.9996). Significant decreases were also seen for the incidence of CRC and non-advanced CRC in the subjects screened at the start of follow-up. CONCLUSION FOBT, depending on the number of FOBTs, and colonoscopy, depending on recency, reduced the risk of death due to CRC and the incidence of CRC.

Abstract
A conditioning regimen is an essential prerequisite of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). However, the optimal conditioning intensity for a patient may be difficult to establish. This study aimed to identify optimal conditioning intensity (reduced-intensity conditioning regimen [RIC] or myeloablative conditioning regimen [MAC]) for patients with MDS. Overall, 2567 patients with MDS who received their first HCT between 2009 and 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. They were divided into a training cohort and a validation cohort. Using a machine learning-based model, we developed a benefit score for RIC in the training cohort. The validation cohort was divided into a high-score and a low-score group, based on the median benefit score. The endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS). The benefit score for RIC was developed from nine baseline variables in the training cohort. In the validation cohort, the hazard ratios of the PFS in the RIC group compared to the MAC group were 0.65 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.48-0.90, P = 0.009) in the high-score group and 1.36 (95% CI: 1.06-1.75, P = 0.017) in the low-score group (P for interaction < 0.001). Machine-learning-based scoring can be useful for the identification of optimal conditioning regimens for patients with MDS.

Abstract
Fusobacterium nucleatum is involved in the development and progression of colorectal cancer. Although the gut microbiota is influenced by diet, studies on the association between diet and F. nucleatum are limited. We aimed to evaluate the association between various dietary factors and fecal F. nucleatum in healthy adults without a history of colorectal cancer or precancerous lesions. This was a cross-sectional study. Subjects who underwent total colonoscopy at the National Cancer Center Hospital (Tokyo, Japan) were included. Healthy subjects (n = 212) were divided into two groups according to the presence or absence of F. nucleatum in their feces which was calculated from data of whole-genome shotgun sequencing, with the group with F. nucleatum serving as cases and the group without F. nucleatum serving as controls. Multivariable logistic regression analysis adjusted potential confounders was conducted to estimate the associations between dietary intake and nutrients estimated by a validated food frequency questionnaire and the presence of F. nucleatum in the feces. There was a significant inverse association between dairy products and the presence of fecal F. nucleatum [high vs. low; OR, 0.41; 95% confidence interval, 0.17-0.95; Ptrend, 0.039]. These results may have important implications for colorectal cancer prevention through nutritional intervention. PREVENTION RELEVANCE F. nucleatum is well known as a colorectal cancer-associated bacterium. Dietary habits alter the composition and function of the intestinal microbiota. A high intake of dairy products in healthy adults may reduce F. nucleatum and prevent colorectal cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Inequalities in opportunities for primary lung cancer surgery due to socioeconomic status exist. We investigated whether socioeconomic inequalities exist in net survival after curative intent surgery at a tertiary university hospital, in Japan. METHODS Data from the hospital-based cancer registry on primary lung cancer patients who received lung resection between 2010 and 2018 were linked to the surgical dataset. An area deprivation index, calculated from small area statistics and ranked into tertiles based on Japan-wide distribution, was linked with the patient's address as a proxy measure for individual socioeconomic status. We estimated net survival of up to 5 years by deprivation tertiles. Socioeconomic inequalities in cancer survival were analyzed using an excess hazard model. RESULTS Of the 1039 patient-sample, advanced stage (Stage IIIA+) was more prevalent in the most deprived group (28.1%) than the least deprived group (18.0%). The 5-year net survival rates (95% confidence interval) from the least to the most deprived tertiles were 82.1% (76.2-86.6), 77.6% (70.8-83.0) and 71.4% (62.7-78.4), respectively. The sex- and age-adjusted excess hazard ratio of 5-year death was significantly higher in the most deprived group than the least deprived (excess hazard ratio = 1.64, 95% confidence interval: 1.09-2.47). The hazard ratio reduced toward null after additionally accounting for disease stage, suggesting that the advanced stage may explain the poor prognosis among the deprived group. CONCLUSION There was socioeconomic inequality in the net survival of patients who received curative intent surgery for primary lung cancer. The lower socioeconomic status group might be less likely to receive early curative surgery.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Currently, the association between the duration of neonatal phototherapy and the risk of allergic disorders has not been reported. This observational cohort study aimed to examine the association between allergic disorders, including food allergies, that are present before 3 years of age and the duration of phototherapy using the nationwide birth cohort data. METHODS The Japan Environment and Children's Study was a nationwide birth cohort study. Data of 77,064 infants aged 1 year, 1.5 years, 2 years, and 3 years were analyzed. We divided the participants into three groups: no phototherapy, short phototherapy (1-24 h), and long phototherapy (>24 h) and evaluated the cumulative incidence of allergic disorders before 3 years of age, including asthma, atopic dermatitis, and food allergies. Logistic regression analysis was performed to assess the impact of phototherapy duration on the cumulative incidence of allergic disorders. RESULTS After adjustment for potential risk factors, long phototherapy was found to be positively associated with food allergies at age 2 years (OR: 1.16; 95% CI: 1.01-1.33) and all allergic disorders at age 3 years (OR: 1.12; 95% CI: 1.01-1.24), including food allergies (OR 1.18; 95% CI: 1.04-1.35). CONCLUSION A long duration of neonatal phototherapy was positively associated with the risk of allergic disorders, especially food allergies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The association between meat, fish, or fatty acid intake and acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) has been investigated in a few studies, and the results were inconsistent. In addition, most studies are mainly based on the United States and European countries, in which the dietary patterns differ from that in Asia. Therefore, the risk of AML/MDS from meat, fish, or fatty acid intake in Asia requires further exploration. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between AML/MDS incidence and meat, fish, or fatty acid intake using the Japan Public Health Center-based prospective study. METHODS The present study included 93,366 participants who were eligible for analysis and followed up from the 5-year survey date until December 2012. We estimated the impact of their intake on AML/MDS incidence using a Cox proportional hazards model. RESULTS The study participants were followed up for 1,345,002 person-years. During the follow-up period, we identified 67 AML and 49 MDS cases. An increased intake of processed red meat was significantly associated with the incidence of AML/MDS, with a hazard ratio of 1.63 (95% confidence interval, 1.03-2.57) for the highest versus lowest tertile and a Ptrend of 0.04. Meanwhile, the intake of other foods and fatty acids was not associated with AML/MDS. CONCLUSION In this Japanese population, processed red meat was associated with an increased incidence of AML/MDS.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The epidemiologic features of each biliary tract cancer (BTC) subtype have not been studied and disclosed in detail. The objective of this study was to provide an up-to-date description of the epidemiologic features of BTC by subtypes, especially in terms of the geographic variation of its incidence. METHODS We calculated the age-standardized incidence rate (ASR) of each BTC subtype at national and prefectural levels using the data from the national cancer registry in 2016 and 2017. The geographic distribution of each BTC subtype incidence was assessed by calculating the ASR ratio (ASRR) against median ASR at the prefectural level and reflecting them on the Japanese map. RESULTS A total of 58 438 people diagnosed with malignant BTC were registered in the national cancer registry in 2016 and 2017 [12 497 for intrahepatic bile duct cancer (IHBDC), 16 568 for gallbladder cancer (GBC), 24 602 for extrahepatic bile duct cancer (EHBDC), 4613 for ampulla of Vater cancer (AVC) and 158 for others]. ASR was higher in men than in women for IHBDC, EHBDC and AVC, and similar between men and women for GBC. The ASR of EHBDC was approximately 2 times higher than those of the other subtypes for men and similar to that of GBC for women. The geographic distribution of ASRR was different among BTC subtypes, with larger variability in EHBDC, which was remarkably higher in the north-eastern region in both men and women. CONCLUSION The pattern of the geographic distribution of incidence in each BTC subtype was different, which suggests different etiology among subtypes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Alcohol consumption is a prevalent behavior that is bi-directionally related to the risk of type 2 diabetes. However, the effect of daily alcohol consumption on glucose levels in real-world situations in the general population has not been well elucidated. This study aimed to clarify the relationship between alcohol consumption and all-day and time-specific glucose levels among non-diabetic individuals. METHODS We investigated 913 non-diabetic males and females, aged 40-69 years, during 2018-2020 from four communities across Japan. The daily alcohol consumption was assessed using a self-report questionnaire. All-day and time-specific average glucose levels were estimated from the interstitial glucose concentrations measured using the Flash glucose monitoring system for a median duration of 13 days. Furthermore, we investigated the association between all-day and time-specific average glucose levels and habitual daily alcohol consumption levels, using never drinkers as the reference, and performed multiple linear regression analyses after adjusting for age, community, and other diabetes risk factors for males and females separately. RESULTS All-day average glucose levels did not vary according to alcohol consumption categories in both males and females. However, for males, the average glucose levels between 5:00 and 11:00 h and between 11:00 and 17:00 h were higher in moderate and heavy drinkers than in never drinkers, with the difference values of 4.6 and 4.7 mg/dL for moderate drinkers, and 5.7 and 6.8 mg/dL for heavy drinkers. Conversely, the average glucose levels between 17:00 and 24:00 h were lower in male moderate and heavy drinkers and female current drinkers than in never drinkers; the difference values of mean glucose levels were -5.8 for moderate drinkers, and -6.1 mg/dL for heavy drinkers in males and -2.7 mg/dL for female current drinkers. CONCLUSIONS Alcohol consumption was associated with glucose levels in a time-dependent biphasic pattern.

Abstract
PURPOSE We developed algorithms to identify patients with newly diagnosed cancer from a Japanese claims database to identify the patients with newly diagnosed cancer of the sample population, which were compared with the nationwide cancer incidence in Japan to assess the validity of the novel algorithms. METHODS We developed two algorithms to identify patients with stomach, lung, colorectal, breast, and cervical cancers: diagnosis only (algorithm 1), and combining diagnosis, treatments, and medicines (algorithm 2). Patients with newly diagnosed cancer were identified from an anonymized commercial claims database (JMDC Claims Database) in 2017 with two inclusions/exclusion criteria: selecting all patients with cancer (extract 1) and excluding patients who had received cancer treatments in 2015 or 2016 (extract 2). We estimated the cancer incidence of the five cancer sites and compared it with the Japan National Cancer Registry incidence (calculated standardized incidence ratio with 95% CIs). RESULTS The number of patients with newly diagnosed cancer ranged from 219 to 17,840 by the sites, algorithms, and exclusion criteria. Standardized incidence ratios were significantly higher in the JMDC Claims Database than in the national registry data for extract 1 and algorithm 1, extract 1 and algorithm 2, and extract 2 and algorithm 1. In extract 2 and algorithm 2, colorectal cancer in male and stomach, lung, and cervical cancers in females showed similar cancer incidence in the JMDC and national registry data. CONCLUSION The novel algorithms are effective for extracting information about patients with cancer from claims data by using the combined information on diagnosis, procedures, and medicines (algorithm 2), with 2-year cancer-treatment history as an exclusion criterion (extract 2).

Abstract
BACKGROUND No study has examined the association between constipation and atopic dermatitis (AD) in infants and toddlers. We aimed to explore that association in toddlers using the data from a nationwide birth cohort study. METHODS From the Japan Environment and Children's Study, a nationwide prospective birth cohort study that began in 2011, children born in a singleton live birth were analyzed. Participants completed questionnaires containing questions related to bowel movements and AD, during 1.5 to 3 years after birth. Constipation at 1 year of age was defined as having ≤2 bowel movements per week. AD was defined based on participant's responses to the modified ISAAC questionnaire and/or self-reported physician's diagnosis. Outcome was defined as the cumulative number of AD cases that occurred until 3 years of age. Adjusted odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for development of AD were calculated by a multivariable logistic regression. RESULTS From a total of 62,777 participants who met the study inclusion criteria, 14,188 children (22.6%) were affected by AD between the ages of 1.5 and 3 years. The adjusted OR of developing AD for the presence versus absence of constipation at 1 year of age was 1.18 (95% CI, 1.01-1.38). CONCLUSION Constipation at 1 year of age was associated with a slightly higher risk of AD until 3 years of age.

Abstract
Evidence regarding the long-term risk of infections in preterm infants is lacking. In this study, we examined whether preterm infants developed various common childhood infections more frequently than full-term infants by the age of 2 years by analyzing data from a questionnaire completed by 67,282 mother-toddler pairs in a nationwide birth cohort study. Of the target population, 2885 (4.3%) were born prematurely. After covariate adjustment for maternal and children factors, lower respiratory tract infections appeared more frequent in preterm than in full-term infants at both 1 and 2 years (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 1.21, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.05-1.41, and aOR 1.27, 95% CI 1.11-1.46, respectively). However, there was no significant difference in the frequencies of lower respiratory tract infection between preterm and full-term infants after Palivizumab administration. The risk of other common infections, such as in the upper respiratory tract infection, otitis media, urinary tract infection, gastroenteritis, herpangina, hand-foot-and-mouth disease, chickenpox, influenza virus, and adenovirus infections, was not higher in preterm than in full-term infants after covariates adjustment for maternal and children factors. These findings suggest Palivizumab prophylaxis could reduce the frequencies of lower respiratory tract infection in preterm to the same level as in full-term infants.
