What is The incidence, prevalence, and survival rate of thromboangiitis obliterans in Korea: a retrospective population-based study about?
## Background: Few studies used nationwide data to assess the age-standardized prevalence rate, incidence rate, 10-year survival rate, and death risk of thromboangiitis obliterans (tao; buerger's disease). ## Methods: Data for 24,392 patients who had newly diagnoses related to tao (i73.1) from 2006 through 2017 were extracted from the national health insurance service in korea. the age-standardized prevalence rate, incidence rate, 10-year survival rate, and death risk of tao were analyzed. ## Results: The mean (standard deviation) age of tao patients overall was 62.0 (15.7) years; 61.3 (15.4) in males and 63.2 (16.1) in females (p<0.001). the proportion of patients older than 50 years old was about 80% overall. the proportion patients who died of tao was 28.1%. overall, the age-standardized prevalence rate of tao decreased from 11.1 persons per 100,000 persons in 2006 to 8.43 persons in 2017, and overall, the incidence rate of tao decreased from 6.07 persons in 2006 to 3.38 persons in 2017. the age-standardized prevalence rate and incidence rate in males were higher than that in females. the 10-year survival rate of tao was about 65% (60.7% in males and 72.5% in females). the adjus
