National Health Insurance Research Database in Taiwan

Taiwan's National Health Insurance (NHI) system covers 99% of the population. The National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD) was developed based on information collected from the population in Taiwan [13 (link)]. The International Classification of Diseases 9th revision Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM) was used in the NHIRD from 1995 to 2016. The ICD-10 has been used since 2017 [14 (link)]. Details of this data source and design are described elsewhere [15 (link)]. Briefly, information about prisoners from January 1st, 2013, to December 31st, 2013, was presented in a subset of the NHIRD. Our study included information from 2013 (January 1st to December 31st); therefore, we used the ICD-9 to present the results. This study was approved by the Institutional Review Board of Cheng-Hsin General Hospital (CHGH-IRB: (471) 104–07). All the procedures were in accordance with the required guidelines, and all the participants provided informed consent.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
