About this study

The incidence and prevalence of the allergic, autoimmune and rheumatic diseases are different all over the world. The relative impact of gene and environment on diseases can be revealed by studies from different populations. National Health Insurance database in Taiwan provides a wealth of epidemiology study, which can contribute to the understanding of these diseases. However, national health care database did not contain test results and clinical details. The database of the hospital records can provide complimentary clinical details. Via the comparison of databases of the National health Institutes and the investigators hospital, the investigators hope that the characteristics and outcomes of these patients can be better understood.

The incidence and prevalence of the allergic, autoimmune and rheumatic diseases are different all over the world. The relative impact of gene and environment on diseases can be revealed by studies from different populations.

National Health Insurance database in Taiwan provides a wealth of epidemiology study, which can contribute to the understanding of these diseases. However, national health care database did not contain test results and clinical details. The database of the hospital records can provide complimentary clinical details. Via the comparison of databases of the National health Institutes and the investigators hospital, the investigators hope that the characteristics and outcomes of these patients can be better understood.

Briefly, epidemiology of target disease such as age, sex, incidence and prevalence will be derived from national database. Medical source utilization such as medication and surgery related to target diseases is also available in national database, providing material for cost analysis. These data can be compared with hospital database to ensure validity and reliability.

The investigators study is intended to provide epidemiology of target disease and cost analysis. Interaction between diseases will also be explored.

Target diseases Allergic diseases: Asthma(ICD9 493.x),Steven-Johnson syndrome and other erythroderma (ICD9 695.x)

Autoimmune diseases: Thyroid disease (ICD9 246.x), Addison disease (ICD9 255.x), type 1 diabetes mellitus (250.x1)

Rheumatic diseases: gout (ICD9 274.x), SLE (ICD9 710.0 ), RA (ICD9 714.0), AS and spondylitis (ICD9 720.0\&720.x), Psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis (ICD9 696.0), scleroderma (ICD9 710.1), Sjogren's syndrome (ICD9 710.2), dermatomyositis (ICD9 710.3), polymyositis (ICD9 710.4), ANCA vasculitis (WG 446.4, MPA, CSS, PAN ICD9 446.0) or vasculitis 447.6, Behcet's disease(ICD9 136.1), Temporal arteritis(ICD9 446.5), Takayasu arteritis (ICD9 446.7), Henoch-Schonlein purpura (ICD9 287.0)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Allergy and Autoimmune Diseases, run by Far Eastern Memorial Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 0 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Jun 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Taiwan. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Incidence of target diseases (time frame: Up to ten years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 23 Jun 2020.
