To characterize the frequency of neurocysticercosis, associated diagnostic codes, and place of infection, we searched Oregon's All Payer All-Claims dataset for 2010-2013. Twice as many cases were found by searching inpatient and outpatient data than by inpatient data alone. Studies relying exclusively on inpatient data underestimate frequency and miss less severe disease.
为了描述神经囊尾蚴病的发病率、相关诊断编码以及感染地点，我们在俄勒冈州2010 - 2013年的全支付方全索赔数据集中进行了搜索。通过搜索住院和门诊数据发现的病例数是仅搜索住院数据时的两倍。仅依赖住院数据的研究低估了发病率，且会遗漏病情较轻的病例。
