BACKGROUND: Radiofrequency thermocoagulation (RFT) has been widely used to manage @entity4254 ( @entity4254 ) refractory to oral medication. Careful selection of @entity1 for managing @entity4254 with RFT can decrease morbidity and improve treatment efficacy. OBJECTIVES: The goal of this study was to determine clinical variables related to the treatment outcome in @entity1 with @entity4254 undergoing RFT. STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective analysis. SETTING: University hospital in Korea. METHODS: Demographic and clinical data were garnered by billing records for @entity1 with @entity4254 who received RFT by one @entity158 physician between January 2005 and August 2014. A successful outcome was pre-defined as at least 50% @entity158 relief on a 0 - 10 NRS @entity158 score for longer than 6 months after RFT. Variables evaluated for their association with outcome included age, gender, baseline @entity158 score, etiology, type of @entity158 , co-existing psychopathology, and history of previous intervention. RESULTS: Among 90 @entity1 who underwent RFT for managing @entity4254 , 75 @entity1 (83.3%) reported a successful outcome (> 50% @entity158 relief at 6 months after RFT procedure). @entity158 characteristics was the most significant predictor associated with successful outcomes of RFT in both univariate and multivariate logistic analysis; odds ratio of provoked @entity158 was 131.516 and mixed type of @entity158 was 20.602 in multivariate analysis. LIMITATIONS: Prospective studies are recommended to confirm our findings and ascertain which additional variables can be taken into account to improve the likelihood of a successful outcome for RFT in @entity1 with @entity4254 . CONCLUSION: A provoked @entity158 or mixed @entity158 condition was associated with a positive outcome for RFT in @entity1 with @entity4254 . In addition, bilateral @entity4254 , high baseline NRS @entity158 score, or co-morbid @entity146 condition was related with negative outcomes in univariate analysis. @entity158 clinicians should consider these findings when selecting @entity1 for managing @entity4254 to increase the efficacy of RFT. Key words: @entity158 , outcome assessment, predictive value, radiofrequency thermocoagulation, @entity4254 Clinical Trial Registration: IRB No. 1403-118-569.
