Declarations
:
: Not Applicable.
: The NHIRD safeguards patient personal information through encryption to ensure privacy protection and assigns researchers anonymous identification numbers linked to pertinent claims data such as gender, date of birth, medical services, and prescriptions. Consequently, accessing the NHIRD does not necessitate patient consent. This research project received approval for exemption from the Institutional Review Board (IRB) at China Medical University (Approval Number CMUH109-REC2-031 (CR2)), and the IRB explicitly waived the requirement for consent. All procedures adhered to the applicable guidelines and regulations. The requirement for informed consent was waived by the Ethics Committee of Institutional Review Board (IRB) at China Medical University because of the retrospective nature of the study.
