“…Currently, there are more than 27 million enrollees in the programme, representing approximately 99 percent of Taiwan's entire populace tallied by the end of 2010. The database comprises of comprehensive information regarding the insured recipients, such as demographic data, dates of clinical visits, diagnostic codes, prescription details and expenditure amounts, which have been scrupulously described in our previous studies . Nonetheless, personal information, including bodyweight, height, family history, lifestyle and habits such as smoking and alcohol consumption, is not available from this database.…”

Our study not only confirmed the significant association of vitiligo with multiple autoimmune and atopic diseases in Taiwan but also disclosed several unique findings, including the much lower prevalence of vitiligo, delayed onset of vitiligo by three decades, different associated comorbidity profiles comparing to westerners and the age- and gender-specific approach for the vitiligo-associated comorbidities.

“…The National Health Insurance (NHI) programme was started in Taiwan on 1 March 1995. It covered 96·2% of the total population in 2000, and by the end of 2010, 23·07 million (99·6%) of Taiwan's 23·16 million people had been enrolled in the programme . In 1999, the NHI bureau began to release all claims data in electronic format under the NHIRD project.…”

The natural course of early-onset atopic dermatitis in Taiwan: a population-based cohort study

et al. 2014

Summary Background Atopic dermatitis (AD) often manifests in early childhood and has variable disease course among individual patients. Previous studies regarding the natural course of AD have usually been of small sample size and were not based on nationwide populations. Objectives We aimed to find out the disease duration and remission rate of children with early‐onset AD (onset in the first 2 years of life) in Taiwan, and to determine whether the presence of allergic rhinitis (AR) or asthma affects the disease course. Methods The patients with early‐onset AD in a nationally representative cohort were selected using the National Health Insurance Research Database of Taiwan and were followed from birth to 10 years of age. Kaplan–Meier survival analysis was carried out to analyse the disease duration and remission of AD. Between‐group analysis using the log‐rank test was carried out to analyse the influence of risk factors on the disease course. Results Of the 1404 children with early‐onset AD, 19·4% had disease duration < 1 year and 48·7% had disease duration < 4 years. During the follow‐up, 69·8% of the patients went into remission. Sex, onset age, presence of AR, presence of asthma and presence of respiratory atopy (either AR or asthma) did not show statistically significant influence on disease course. Conclusions Children in Taiwan with early‐onset AD had disease of variable natural course, and the median disease duration was 4·2 years. About 70% of the patients went into remission eventually. The presence of AR or asthma did not affect the disease course of AD.

“…The NHIRD provides scrambled identification numbers for all patients along with gender, date of birth, diagnostic codes in the format of the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM), and dates of medical visits. The NHIRD has been used extensively in many clinical and epidemiologic studies in Taiwan (1,(14)(15)(16)(17)(18).…”
