Project Details
Abstract
To evaluate long term effects of community-based intervention for liver disease prevention
and control, we conduct this cohort study, and also a data analysis study. Since 2003,
Health Bureau of Tainan has conducted comprehensive health examination. Our team has
joined a lot of intervention programs, including thrombocytopenia-oriented hepatocellular
carcinoma (HCC) screening, randomized control study on HCC screening interval in high
risk group, incidence study of acute hepatitis C, active referral of chronic active hepatitis C
patients, accessible liver clinic in country side, et al. In these two years, we clean the large
dataset of community screening from 2003 to 2012, and yield an analyzable database
including about 280000 residents and their results of 400000 times of health screening.
Using overall survival, liver diseases related survival, mortality and incidence of HCC as
indices or endpoints, we can compare the difference between interventional and control
groups for each intervention. Our study team has experience in mass data analysis
including using the national health database. Since this is a data analysis study, it should be
low risk and high feasibility. Besides of descriptive statistics, most of the statistical
analysis will be time-dependent, i.e. survival analysis, and some will be categorical
analysis. We anticipate our results will be good reference to decide whether these
prevention strategies should be promoted to the whole country or not.
