Changes in the Etiology of Takayasu's Arteritis in the Korean
Methods Data were collected from the National Health Insurance Corporation in Korea from 2006 through 2013. The data consisted of primary diagnoses related to aortic arch syndrome (M31.4; Takayasu’s arteritis) diagnosed according to the 10th revision of the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems. The age-standardized prevalence of congenital heart diseases in adults was calculated with the direct method using the estimated Korean population in 2010 as the reference.
Results Overall, the age-standardized cumulative prevalence of Takayasu’s arteritis was 1.57 per 100,000 persons in 2006 and 2.95 in 2013. For female, the age-standardized cumulative prevalence was 2.59 in 2006 and 5.09 in 2013. For female in 2006, 0.79 in 0-4 years, 0 in 5-9 years, 0.13 in 10-14 years, 0.84 in 15-19 years, 2.72 in 20-44 years, 4.63 in 45-64 years, and 1.91 in over 65 years. For female in 2013, 0 in 0-4 years, 0 in 5-9 years, 0.15 in 10-14 years, 1.17 in 15-19 years, 4.61 in 20-44 years, 9.68 in 45-64 years, and 5.00 in over 65 years. For male, the age-standardized cumulative prevalence was 0.56 in 2006 and 0.85 in 2013.
Conclusions The overall age-standardized cumulative prevalence of Takayasu’s arteritis increased between 2006 and 2013, especially in 45-64 years females.
