| アブストラクト | The Ministry of Health, Labour, and Welfare, Japan launched a national administrative claims database in 2009, which is called the National Database of Health Insurance Claims and Specific Health Checkups of Japan (NDB). Detailed information on the NDB was reported in Annals of Clinical Epidemiology in 2019. The present report provides updated information on the NDB. In 2020, the provision of data to private companies, as well as public sectors and academic entities, was legislated. As of 2024, the Ministry of Health, Labour, and Welfare is planning linkage of NDB data with several other national databases. Our previous literature review identified a total of 126 original articles using the NDB and NDB Open Data published from 2013 to 2022. Our updated review identified 94 original articles using the NDB and NDB Open Data in the recent two years. Studies using the NDB are gradually increasing, but there is still room for enhancing NDB studies on various subject areas. |
