Wth the result of ths study, feale use TCM ore frequently than ale, s consstent wth prevous reports fro western countres. The reasons for ths feale predonance were not fully elucdated n prevous reports. It was suggested that ndependent feales, or feales of good socal status, had hgher expectatons of or belef n TCM n respect of postpartu condtons, enopause and chronc dseases. The age dstrbuton of TCM users peaked n the 0-9 group, followed by the group and group. Most TCM vsts were to prvate TCM clncs, followed by the prvate TCM hosptals. Accordng to the results, the ost coon reasons for TCM vsts were Kuru (460), Cough (786.), Allergc rhnts cause unspecfed (477.9), Lubago (74.), Headache (784.0), Myalga and yosts, unspecfed (79.1), Constpaton (564.0), Other sleep dsturbances (780.59), Sleep dsturbances, unspecfed (780.50), and Dyspepsa and other specfed dsorders of functon of stoach (536.8). TCM was popular n the Chnese populaton. More and ore subects used TCM at least once durng the 3-year study perod. TCM, lke western edcne, was coonly used by the Chnese populaton for probles and dseases of aor huan organ systes. Ths study provdes nforaton about the use frequences of TCM and dsease categores treated by TCM, whch should be useful for health polcy akers and for those who consder the ntegraton of Chnese and Western edcne. Keywords- Tradtonal Chnese edcne, data nng, dsease coorbdty network, Classfcaton and Regresson Tree (CART) I. INTRODUCTION Tradtonal Chnese edcne (TCM) was an portant topc of copleentary and alternatve edcne n Western opnon [9]. Current TCM practces can be traced back ore than 000 years. TCM was stll coonly used by the Chnese [3]. In Tawan, not untl the 1980s dd several researchers start to research ssues relevant to TCM, usng saplng surveys or studes wth sall saple szes [4]. There has been no largescale nvestgaton of the use of TCM aong Chnese people worldwde, now. Iportance n copleentary and alternatve edcne had ncreased substantally n western countres durng the past decade [1]. Patents and ther fales see to have sought ther health practtoners' opnons about varous copleentary and alternatve edcne odaltes ore frequently []. Many studes have deonstrated draatc ncreases n the use of, and expendture on, copleentary and alternatve edcne n the Western opnon []. However, ost of the prevalent studes of copleentary and alternatve edcne use were based prarly on questonnare surveys, telephone ntervews or collectng data fro nsurance clas, and the saple szes generally were sall. In Tawan, the Natonal Health Insurance (NHI) was started n 1995 and covers nearly all nhabtants (1,653,555 benefcares at the end of 001) [5]. The use of TCM has been rebursed by the NHI snce Tawanese were free to choose Western edcne or TCM, and were allowed to vst ether publc or prvate edcal facltes. Because all clas data are avalable to researches n electronc for, t could be conduct a study of TCM use aong the Chnese populaton n Tawan. The a of ths study was to conduct a naton-wde survey n order to nvestgate the usng of TCM, the characterstcs of TCM users, and the edcal condtons for whch Tawanese people ost coonly use TCM, by analyzng the NHI clas data fro 1997 to 010. TCM provded by the NHI ncluded Chnese herbal reedes, acupuncture and trauatology anpulatve therapy II. METHODOLOGY A. Data Sources The NHI progra was ntated n Tawan snce 1995 and covers nearly all nhabtants. In 1999, the Bureau of NHI began to release all clas data n electronc for to the publc under the Natonal Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD) proect. The structure of the cla fles s descrbed n detal on the NHIRD webste and n other publcatons [4]. It could be obtan the coplete TCM cla datasets fro the NHIRD n Tawan. The datasets contaned only the vst fles, ncludng dates, edcal care facltes and specaltes, 50

To protect prvacy, the data on patent denttes and nsttutons had been scrabled cryptographcally. These vst fles represented all the TCM outpatent actvtes wthn the NHI fro 005 to 007. Insurance benefts were avalable for TCM that ncluded Chnese herbal reedes, acupuncture and trauatology anpulatve therapy, especally for ont dslocaton. In Tawan, TCM s rebursed by NHI only n abulatory clncs, not for npatent care. In addton, only lcensed TCM physcans qualfy for reburseent fro the NHI. B. Study Desgn Although the concept of dsease enttes n TCM was qute dfferent fro that n Western edcne, TCM physcans are requested to follow the standard dagnoses accordng to the ICD-9-CM codng syste when clang reburseent. Coon dagnostc groups for TCM vsts were categorzed accordng to the reclassfcaton of prary ICD-9-CM codes for use n the Natonal Abulatory Medcal Care Survey and Natonal Hosptal Abulatory Medcal Care Survey data n the Unted States. To calculate patents' ages n relaton to the 3-year use frequency of TCM fro 005 to 007, Deceber 31, 007 was taken as the ndex of subtrahend. The denonator was the nuber of people who were nsured durng ths 3-year perod. In order to copare the average nubers of vsts between TCM and Western (allopathc) edcne, t could be obtaned the total nuber of abulatory vsts to Western edcne fro the webste of Departent of Health, Tawan. In addton, we obtaned the saplng cla datasets for abulatory care vsts at Western edcne clncs n order to copare the top ten dsease categores between TCM and Western edcne vsts. The saplng was rando and vst-based but was separated onthly to elnate possble seasonal varatons. Accordng to the NHIRD, these sapled fles were representatve of all utlzaton wthn the NHI n Tawan. C. Methodology Decson tree learnng was a ethod coonly used n data nng. The goal was to create a odel that predcts the value of a target varable based on several nput varables. Each nteror node corresponds to one of the nput varables; there were edges to chldren for each of the possble values of that nput varable. Each leaf represents a value of the target varable gven the values of the nput varables represented by the path fro the root to the leaf. A decson tree was a sple representaton for classfyng exaples. Decson tree learnng was one of the ost successful technques for supervsed classfcaton learnng. For ths secton, assue that all of the features have fnte dscrete doans, and there was a sngle target feature called the classfcaton. Each eleent of the doan of the classfcaton s called a class. A decson tree or a classfcaton tree was a tree n whch each nternal node was labeled wth an nput feature. The arcs cong fro a node labeled wth a feature are labeled wth each of the possble values of the feature. Each leaf of the tree was labeled wth a class or a probablty dstrbuton over the classes. A tree can be learned by splttng the source set nto subsets based on an attrbute value test. Ths process was repeated on each derved subset n a recursve anner called recursve parttonng. The recurson was copleted when the subset at a node has all the sae value of the target varable, or when splttng no longer adds value to the predctons. In data nng, decson trees could be descrbed also as the cobnaton of atheatcal and coputatonal technques to ad the descrpton, categorzaton and generalzaton of a gven set of data. Data coes n records of the for: (x,y)=(x 1, x, x 3,,x k, Y) The dependent varable, Y, s the target varable that we are tryng to understand, classfy or generalze. The vector x s coposed of the nput varables, x 1, x, x 3 etc., that are used for that task. The ter Classfcaton And Regresson Tree (CART) analyss was an ubrella ter used to refer to both of the above procedures, frst ntroduced by Brean, Fredan, Olshen, Stone, [10] Trees used for regresson and trees used for classfcaton have soe slartes, but also soe dfferences, such as the procedure used to deterne where to splt. Used by the CART algorth, Gn purty s a easure of how often a randoly chosen eleent fro the set would be ncorrectly labeled f t was randoly labeled accordng to the dstrbuton of labels n the subset. Gn purty can be coputed by sung the probablty of each te beng chosen tes the probablty of a stake n categorzng that te. It reaches ts nu (zero) when all cases n the node fall nto a sngle target category. To copute Gn purty for a set of tes, suppose takes on values n {1,,..., }, and let f be the fracton of tes labeled wth value n the set. I G ( f ) = f (1 f ) = ( f f ) = = 1 = 1 = 1 f = 1 f = 1 In CART,[10] varance reducton was often eployed n cases where the target varable was contnuous (regresson tree), eanng that use of any other etrcs would frst requre dscretzaton before beng appled. The varance reducton of a node N was defned as the total reducton of the varance of the target varable x due to the splt at ths node: = Iv( N) ( x x ) ( x x ) ( x x ) S S S S St St S Sf Sf where S, S t, and S f are the set of presplt saple ndces, set of saple ndces for whch the splt test s true, and set of saple ndces for whch the splt test s false, respectvely. = 1 f 51

DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION After all, ths study s the frst extensve survey of TCM use n Chnese socety. Only wth the help of a coputerzed nsurance reburseent database could such a large-scale TCM utlzaton study feasbly be analyzed. Prevous studes fro western countres on the frequency and characterstcs of TCM use have anly conssted of surveys of clnc attendees, telephone ntervews, wrtten surveys, household ntervews, and hosptal and prvate clnc surveys; and the saple szes have been lted. In addton, the use of TCM n western countres s usually not covered by nsurance [7]. Thus, the survey results ght be affected by the soco-econoc status of the subects [8]. Fortunately, TCM s rebursed by NHI n Tawan, so the study would see to be less based. The use of TCM n western countres has ncreased draatcally n recent years [9]. It goes wthout sayng that TCM had been coonly used n Asan countres, especally n the Chnese populaton, for centures [4]. Owng to the dfferent defntons of copleentary and alternatve edcne, the types of copleentary and alternatve edcne surveyed, survey ethodologes and types of copleentary and alternatve edcne rebursed by nsurance, t was dffcult to copare the use frequency of TCM aong countres [11]. Accordng to the results, there was a steady ncrease n the annual nuber of TCM users n Tawan between 1997 and 010; ths does not nclude folk edcne, whch s not rebursable by nsurance. Chnese people beleve that Western edcne ay react faster to the target but also causes ore adverse sde effects, whle TCM reacts slowly but s subtle and safe [8,9,10]. Furtherore, the nsurance coverage for TCM vsts ght also play a sgnfcant role [8]. It was nterestng to know how health care was used when both Western edcne (WM) and TCM were avalable n Tawan. Table 8 copares the use frequences of outpatent vsts between TCM and WM. The results show that people vsted WM clncs ore coonly than TCM clncs for ther llnesses. Notably, the average nuber of outpatent vsts per person per year n both TCM and WM decreased on 006. WM stll decreased on 007, but TCM ncrease on 007.
