Figures & data

Table 2 Dementia Incidence Over 5-Year Follow-Up, HRs Next to Crude and Covariate-Adjusted, Indexed by Medical Utilization Initiation

Figure 1 Presents the dementia-free survival curves using the Kaplan–Meier method. TBI Patients with epilepsy had significantly lower 5-year dementia-free survival rates than patients without epilepsy (Log rank test: 33.6462, p=<0.0001).

Data Sharing Statement

In this population-based case-control study, sample patients were retrieved from the Taiwan “Longitudinal Health Insurance Database 2000” (LHID2000) were retrieved). This dataset provides a tremendous opportunity to track enrollees’ healthcare utilization since 1995, the year of the Administration of Health Insurance operations in Taiwan. The Health and Welfare Data Science Center, Ministry of Health and Welfare, collects the LHID2000, which attributes the fundamental medical claims dataset of 2,000,000 patient registration files to a random sample retrieved from over 23,000,000 enrollees of the Administration Health Insurance Research Claim Dataset in Taiwan. The Health and Welfare Data Science Center and other researchers validated the LHID2000 dataset. Researchers can approach the data for research purposes and employ the LHID2000 for publication in peer-reviewed journals.
