使用行政卫生保健数据库作为研究材料的趋势正在增加，但还没有得到很好的探索。台湾国家健康保险研究资料库(NHIRD)是全球最大的医疗保健行政资料库之一，已被广泛应用于学术研究。这项研究分析了2000年至2009年发表的383项NHIRD研究，以量化研究领域对整体增长、学者反应和传播的影响。自2000年发表第一项研究以来，NHIRD的研究在数量和质量上都迅速扩大。研究人员通常合作共享知识，这对处理NHIRD数据至关重要。然而，一旦克服了根本问题，出版的成功就变得更具可重复性。NHIRD的研究也以不同的方式发表在越来越多的期刊上。普通健康和临床科学研究都受益于NIIIRD。总而言之，这一新的研究材料在更大程度上广泛地促进了科学生产。台湾NHIRD的经验应该会鼓励国家或机构一级的数据持有者考虑将其行政数据库重新用于学术目的。
The trend to use administrative health care databases as research material is increasing but not well explored. Taiwan's National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD), one of the largest administrative health care databases around the world, has been used widely in academic studies. This study analyzed 383 NHIRD studies published between 2000 and 2009 to quantify the effects on overall growth, scholar response, and spread of the study fields. The NHIRD studies expanded rapidly in both quantity and quality since the first study was published in 2000. Researchers usually collaborated to share knowledge, which was crucial to process the NHIRD data. However, once the fundamental problem had been overcome, success to get published became more reproducible. NHIRD studies were also published diversely in a growing number of journals. Both general health and clinical science studies benefited from NIIIRD. In conclusion, this new research material widely promotes scientific production in a greater magnitude. The experience of Taiwan's NHIRD should encourage national- or institutional-level data holders to consider re-using their administrative databases for academic purposes.
