Cohort Profile: The National Health Insurance Service–National Sample Cohort (NHIS-NSC), South Korea
Abstract
The National Health Insurance Service–National Sample Cohort (NHIS-NSC) is a population-based cohort established by the National Health Insurance Service (NHIS) in South Korea. The sole purpose of constructing the cohort was to provide public health researchers and policy makers with representative, useful information regarding citizens’ utilization of health insurance and health examinations. Korea’s universal coverage health insurance system for all citizens was initiated in 1963, based on the National Medical Insurance Act, and was introduced for companies with over 500 employees in 1977. Universal healthcare coverage was achieved in 1989, only 12 years after its introduction, which is the fastest this has been achieved globally.1 In 2000 a single-insurer system, the NHIS, was launched by integrating more than 366 medical insurance organizations, for efficient system operation in Korea.1 The NHIS provides benefits for prevention, diagnosis, disease and injury treatment, as well as rehabilitation, births, deaths and health promotion. Currently the NHIS maintains and stores national records for healthcare utilization and prescriptions.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
