Abstract

The National Database of Health Insurance Claims and Specific Health Checkups of Japan (NDB) is a database including health insurance claim and specific health checkup data. Observational studies using real-world big data attract attention because they have certain strengths, including external validity and a large sample size. This review focused on research using the dental formula of the NDB because the number of teeth is an important indicator of oral health. The number of teeth present calculated using the dental formula of periodontitis patients was similar to that from the Survey of Dental Diseases. In addition, the graphs of the presence rates of tooth types by 5-year age groups from the NDB were smoother and had less overlap than those from the Survey of Dental Diseases, and they could detect slight changes in the presence rate that reflected sugar consumption before and after World War II. Using the NDB, a low number of teeth was associated with high medical care expenditures, high risk of aspiration pneumonia, and high risk of Alzheimer’s disease. Although there are some restrictions on the use of the NDB, we hope that dental research using the NDB will be further promoted in the future.

使用来自日本国家健康保险索赔和特定健康检查数据库的牙科配方

日本国家健康保险索赔和特定健康检查数据库(NDB)是一个包含健康保险索赔和特定健康检查数据的数据库。使用现实世界大数据的观察性研究之所以受到关注，是因为它们具有一定的优势，包括外部效度和大样本量。由于牙齿数量是口腔健康的重要指标，因此本文重点介绍了使用NDB牙科配方的研究。牙周炎病人用牙周公式计算出的牙齿数目与“牙病调查”所得的数目相近。此外，NDB中按5岁年龄组划分的牙齿类型的存在率的图表比牙科疾病调查的图表更平滑，重叠较少，而且它们可以检测出反映二战前后糖消费的存在率的细微变化。使用NDB，低牙齿数量与高医疗保健支出、高吸入性肺炎风险和高阿尔茨海默病风险相关。虽然NDB的使用有一定的限制，但我们希望未来使用NDB的牙科研究能够得到进一步的推广。

期刊介绍： The Japanese Dental Science Review is published by the Japanese Association for Dental Science aiming to introduce the modern aspects of the dental basic and clinical sciences in Japan, and to share and discuss the update information with foreign researchers and dentists for further development of dentistry. In principle, papers are written and submitted on the invitation of one of the Editors, although the Editors would be glad to receive suggestions. Proposals for review articles should be sent by the authors to one of the Editors by e-mail. All submitted papers are subject to the peer- refereeing process.
