- Abstract
- The exponential increasing data are generated from health care including the ophthalmology and the big data has been analyzing for being used in a variety of researches. The national health insurance covers all citizens in South Korea and claims that the data from the National Health Insurance Sharing Service (NHIS) could be useful for the research of big data. The NHIS is a data created from providing health care services that gives all of the information related to the diagnosis, treatment, cost, and personal information. Therefore, it is possible to embark on projects that was difficult to perform previously, such as researches about rare diseases targeted towards a large group of people, or the incidence and prevalence of a certain disorder, a prognosis of the treatment and complications of the epidemiological research, and its relationship with the potential risk. Even though there are some limitations of surgical and coding problems within the field of pediatric ophthalmology and strabismus, it will be possible to make it very useful. In addition, it would be able to apply it to other ophthalmological fields.
