“…The Korean Ministry of Health and Welfare has had a hospital-based cancer registry system (Korea Central Cancer Registry, KCCR) since 1980 (Shin et al, 2005, Lee et al, 2010. In 2002, the Korea National Cancer Incidence Database (KNCIDB) was constructed merging the KCCR and other population data bases.…”

Although much health services research has been conducted using national health insurance claims data in Korea, the validity of this method has not been ascertained. The objective of this study was to validate the use of claims data for health services research by comparing incidence rate of cancers found using insurance claims data against rates of the national cancer registry of Korea. An algorithm to estimate incidence rates using claims data was developed and applied. The claims data from 2005-2008 were acquired and the patients admitted to hospitals due to cancer in 2008 without admission to hospital from 2005-2007 by the same diagnosis code were regarded as incident cases. The acquired results were compared with the values from the National Cancer Registry of Korea. The incidence rate of all cancers found using claims data was 363.1 per 100,000 people, which is very similar to the 361.9 per 100,000 rate of the national cancer registry. Also the age-, gender-and disease-specific rates between the two data sources were similar. Therefore, national health insurance claims data may be a worthwhile resource for health services research if appropriate algorithms are applied, especially considering the cost effectiveness of this method.

Background/Aims: Chronic gastritis is a common finding during endoscopy and it is very important to describe it correctly. This study was designed to evaluate the distribution of endoscopic gastritis and the differences according to age, sex or area. Materials and Methods: A clinical analysis was conducted on 25,536 subjects who had undergone an upper endoscopy for routine health check-up. Endoscopic gastritis was classified into four types, superficial gastritis, erosive gastritis, atrophic gastritis and intestinal metaplasia. The distribution of the four types of gastritis was evaluated according to sex, age and area. Results: 51.6% of the patients had experienced at least one of the symptoms (epigastric pain or discomfort, soarness, dyspepsia, abdominal pain) on at least a few occasions during the previous year. The incidence of normal gastric finding was 3,593 (14.1%). 21,943 (85.9%) subjects have at least more than one of endoscopic gastritis. The number of cases with superficial gastritis was 7,983 (31.3%), erosive gastritis 6,054 (23.7%), atrophic gastritis 6,918 (27.1%), and intestinal metaplasia 1,181 (7.1%). Erosive gastritis, atrophic gastritis and intestinal metaplasia were more frequent in men than women (P＜0.001) and in the older age group (≥60 years) than younger age group (P＜0.001). Conclusions: The prevalence of endoscopic gastritis was very common, 85.9%. In addition, erosive gastritis, atrophic gastritis and intestinal metaplasia were more frequent in men and in the older age group, which is similar to gastric cancer or peptic ulcer.

Who participates in the gastric cancer screening and on‐time rescreening in the National Cancer Screening Program? A population‐based study in Korea

et al. 2011

Gastric cancer (GC) screening is a major challenge in countries where the disease is highly prevalent. This study was conducted to identify the factors associated with participation in GC screening and on-time rescreening among the average-risk population in Korea. The study population was derived from the National Cancer Screening Program database. The population for this study was 22 913 618 individuals aged ‡40 years who had been invited to participate in a GC screening program from 2005 to 2006. We determined whether these individuals had attended the GC screening program and which method -an upper gastrointestinal series (UGIS) or endoscopy-they underwent. We followed the participants to determine whether they had a second GC screening after 2 years. The overall participation rate in the GC screening was 20.5%. More people underwent UGIS than endoscopy. Individuals who had been screened by endoscopy rather than UGIS were more likely to be younger, male, or those who were National Health Insurance (NHI) beneficiaries with a higher premium rate. Of those who underwent baseline screening, 59.4% participated in a rescreening program 2 years later. NHI beneficiaries with a higher premium rate were significantly more likely to be rescreened than medical aid recipients. The results from this study showed that the UGIS were more commonly used in organized GC screenings in Korea, and those who underwent UGIS were more likely to return for subsequent screening compared to those who underwent an endoscopy. (Cancer Sci 2011; 102: 2241-2247 G astric cancer (GC) is the fourth most common cancer behind lung cancer, breast cancer, and colorectal cancer, and in 2008 was the second most common cause of cancer deaths worldwide. (1) In Korea, GC is the most frequent type of cancer. (2,3) In countries where GC is highly prevalent, GC screening is offered to the average-risk population to reduce the disease burden. (4) Gastric cancer screening has shown improvements in survival rates as a result of early detection and consequently higher cure rates. (5) Therefore, many Asian countries with a high burden of GC have considered implementing GC screening for the general population. (6) Since 1960, Japan has implemented photofluorography (via an indirect upper gastrointestinal series [UGIS]) screening programs to detect GC in its early stages and prevent GC deaths. (6) The cohort studies conducted in Japan showed a significant GC mortality reduction with photofluorography screening. (5,7) In recent years, endoscopy has replaced photofluorography as the initial mass screening method in several cities in Japan. (8,9) This technique is increasingly useful for GC screening because of its high detection rate. In a study conducted in Niigata, Japan, the detection of GC by endoscopy was 2.7-4.6 times higher than that by direct or indirect UGIS. (10)(11)(12) Recently, Hosokawa et al. (13) reported an approximately 65% reduction in the GC death rate for participants screened with endoscopy. Despite this promising result, direct evidence for t...
