" Epidemiology" was the course of the independence as early as 100 years ago in the times of industry, the scholars started studying it with the environment that the people lived, food and drink, and the establishment of medical care system. These developments all influenced the factors of the Epidemiology application directions, evolving the Epidemiology defend system from the contagion disease to the chronic disease, health and care topics. Investigated dangerous factors of the disease, and provided the results to the health administration units as a reference of the health policy.
Owing to the Taiwanese scholars participating the international medical science colloquium, discussing the large bowel disease situation in Asia, usually found that lacking the Taiwanese Epidemiology data. As a result, losing a comparative chance with all countries, it’s very regrettable. In fact, Taiwan was not the occurrence that had no case, only because the data spread to professional periodicals, magazines or seminars, caused the data of Taiwan didn''t include into international database, and because of it’s not easy to obtain the medical statistics, few were quoted from.
So the purpose of this research is collecting the related data that the Taiwanese health organization has already had, the Taiwanese case reports announced on magazines, and the researches to tidy up the large bowel disease occurrence in recent 20 years in Taiwan. Then building up a database on "The Epidemiology of large bowel disease in Taiwan", which can provide the domestic and international scholars searching "The data of Taiwanese mainland and clinical experience", and can establish a teaching website that expands the large bowel disease knowledge.
The set of the website has already completed as well up to now, we are categorizing the familiar disease of the large bowel disease into 31 kinds, registering 130 articles. And as a specialized website, we prepare a discussion area of free space that provides a chance with on-line discussion.
Because of this is a website for living, it will increase the content steadily after this thesis completes. we expecting the website could be a reference website of the Taiwan large bowel disease.
After completing the collections, we will tidy up the Taiwanese annual report of single large bowel disease, now we have amebic colitis, colon volvulus, ischemic colitis, the diverticulosis and diverticulitis, tuberculosis of intestines with five annual reports. We can know from the annual reports with the occurrence rate of the diverticulosis and diverticulitis, in western nation, 90% of patients occurrence in the left side colon; the east of the Asia nations, patients occurence in each colon of 50%, the Japanese even occurrence in right side to 70%. The numbers of ischemic colitis in recent years also have the augmentative trend, because of the ageing phenomenon in Taiwan.
