다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Background:?Nationwide epidemiologic data about of polyvascular disease in Korea are limited.?Methods:?Using the 10-year Korea Health Insurance Sample Cohort Database (KHISCDB), we performed a nationwide population-based epidemiologic study and investigated the prevalence of polyvascular disease including coronary artery disease (CAD), peripheral artery disease (PAD) and cerebrovascular disease (CVD).?Results:?A total of 1,025,340 people were screened from KHISCDB and 670,439 adult people were followed up from 2002 to 2010 (Fig A). A total of 94,984 (14.2%) patients were diagnosed as ASCVD: 56,185 patients as CAD, 49,608 patients as PAD and 28,594 patients as CVD. Of these patients, 63,014 patients (6.3%) have single arterial bed disease and 31,970 patients (33.7%) have polyvascular disease. 48.2% of the 56,185 patients with CAD, 52.2% of the 49,608 patients with PAD, and 64.4% of the 28,594 patients also have other ASCVD in other arterial territories (Fig B).?Conclusions:?The prevalence of polyvascular disease in Korea was higher than that of Western countries or worldwide data. This nationwide epidemiologic study offers an opportunity to provide to a better understanding of the prevalence of polyvascular disease in Korean populations and results of the study will be of practical relevance to physicians, health care organizations, and those who issue clinical guidelines for the reduction of ASCVD.
