Third, antiviral therapy reduces recurrence in HBV-related HCC patients after curative therapy 20 38. This effect may have attenuated tumour growth rate in hepatitis B patients leading to a more beneficial effect of ultrasonography screening.…”

Association between antiviral treatment and extrahepatic outcomes in patients with hepatitis C virus infection

“…Furthermore, we used the Registry for Catastrophic Illness Patient Database (RCIPD), a subpart of NHIRD, to ascertain the diagnosis when appropriate. Fulfilment of specified criteria is mandatory and audited meticulously for certification in the RCIPD 28. The Research Ethics Committee of the Taiwan National Health Research Institute permitted data acquisition (EC1010303-E), and the Institutional Review Board of the E-Da Hospital approved the study protocol (EMRP-103–010).…”

Incidence of autoimmune diseases in a nationwide HIV/AIDS patient cohort in Taiwan, 2000–2012

“…In the present nationwide cohort study, we analysed patient data obtained from the National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD), which contains healthcare data from more than 99% of the population in Taiwan 10. The NHIRD is a large-scale computer database derived from the insurance system by the National Health Insurance Administration and is provided to scientists conducting research 11.…”
