，預(yù)后很差，有研究表明股骨頭塌陷在2年內(nèi)自然演化，從24.6%發(fā)展到42.8%[16,17]。特別是股骨頭塌陷發(fā)生時，許多患者往往在年輕時接受THA，因此預(yù)測股骨頭塌陷的預(yù)后與預(yù)測ONFH的發(fā)生同樣重要。多項研究表明，ONFH患者股骨頭塌陷與壞死灶的大小、體積、位置和解剖學(xué)參數(shù)有關(guān)[1,2,18,19]。然而，目前還沒有關(guān)于ONFH患者使用皮質(zhì)類固醇與股骨頭塌陷之間關(guān)系的研究。TheNationalHealthInsuranceService(NHIS)ofSouthKoreaisanationalinsurancecoverageservicethatcoversabout97%ofcitizensinSouthKorea,includingdemographicdataandaclaimdatabaseincludingdiagnosesandprescriptions[20].Additionally,theNHISoffershealthscreeningexaminationsforinsuredKoreansaged40yearsorolder,includingbasicbloodtests,smoking,drinking,andphysicalactivitiesusingself-reportedquestionnaires.BecausetheNationalHealthInsuranceService–NationalSampleCohort(NHIS-NSC)isahighlyrepresentativepopulation-basedcohortoftheentireKoreanpopulation,itcanbeusedasapopulation-based,nationwidestudyforepidemiologicresearchonvariousdiseases[20-22].韓國國民健康保險服務(wù)(NationalHealthInsuranceService,NHIS)是一項覆蓋韓國約97%公民的國民保險服務(wù)，包括人口統(tǒng)計數(shù)據(jù)和包括診斷和處方在內(nèi)的索賠數(shù)據(jù)庫[20]。此外，國民健康保險制度還為40歲或40歲以上的參保韓國人提供健康檢查，包括基本的血液檢查、吸煙、飲酒和使用自我報告問卷的體育活動。由于國民健康保險服務(wù)-國民樣本隊列(NationalHealthInsuranceService-NationalSampleCohort,NHIS-NSC)是韓國人口中極具代表性的基于人群的隊列，因此可以作為一項基于人群的全國性研究，用于各種疾病的流行病學(xué)研究[20-22]。Therefore,inthepresentstudy,weaimedtoinvestigatetheassociationbetweencorticosteroiduseandtheriskofONFHdevelopmentamongthewholegeneralpopulationandwhatfactorsaffectONFHdevelopmentusinganationwidelargesamplefromlongitudinalnestedcase-controldatainalong-termcohortstudy.Inaddition,weaimedtodemonstratewhichfactorsaffectTHAafterthedevelopmentofONFH.因此，在本研究中，我們旨在通過一項長期隊列研究，在全國范圍內(nèi)采用縱向嵌套病例對照數(shù)據(jù)的大樣本，調(diào)查皮質(zhì)類固醇使用與整個普通人群中ONFH發(fā)生風(fēng)險之間的關(guān)系，以及影響ONFH發(fā)生的因素。此外，我們旨在證明哪些因素會影響ONFH發(fā)展后的THA。?MaterialsandMethodsStudyPopulationWeuseda2002to2019datasetfromtheNHISPhysicalHealthExaminationCohort(NHIS-NSC)2.0databaseintheRepublicofKorea[23].TheNHIS-NSC2.0databasewascomprisedofatotalof1,137,861participantswhowerestratifiedandrandomlysampledsuchthattheage,sex,region,healthinsurancetype,andhouseholdincomesofthesamplesremainedproportionaltothoseofthe2006Koreanpopulationof50million.Weexcluded223,474participantswhowerealreadyprescribedintravenous(IV)ororalcorticosteroidstoreducethebiasintheanalysisoftheeffectoftheprescribedcorticosteroiddoseonONFH.Fromtheremainingcohort,weexcluded241participantswhowerealreadydiagnosedwithONFHin2002toobtainthenewdevelopmentofONFH(washoutperiod).Therefore,theindexdatewasthedatethatthepatientwasdiagnosedwithONFH.Weincluded914,146participantsinthefinalanalysis.Theinformationinthedatasetincludedallinpatientandoutpatientmedicalclaimsdata,includingprescriptiondruguse,diagnosticandtreatmentcodes,primaryandsecondarydiagnosticcodes,andhealthexaminationdata.AlltheindividualsincludedintheNHIS-NSCwerefolloweduntil2019,unlesstherewasadeathordisqualificationforNationalHealthInsurance,suchasemigration.TheprotocolofthisstudywasapprovedbytheInstitutionalReviewBoardofourinstitution(4-2022-0304)andtheNHIS(NHIS-2022-2-232).我們使用了2002年至2019年的數(shù)據(jù)集，這些數(shù)據(jù)集來自韓國NHIS身體健康檢查隊列(NHIS-nsc)2.0數(shù)據(jù)庫[23]。國民健康保險制度-國家安全保障制度2.0數(shù)據(jù)庫共包括1137861名參與者，這些參與者的年齡、性別、地區(qū)、健康保險類型和家庭收入與2006年韓國5000萬人口的比例保持一致，并進(jìn)行了分層和隨機(jī)抽樣。我們排除了223,474名已經(jīng)靜脈注射或口服皮質(zhì)類固醇的參與者，以減少處方皮質(zhì)類固醇劑量對ONFH影響分析的偏倚。從剩余隊列中，我們排除了241名在2002年已經(jīng)診斷為ONFH的參與者，以獲得ONFH的新進(jìn)展(洗脫期)。因此，索引日期為患者被診斷為ONFH的日期。我們在最終分析中納入了914146名參與者。數(shù)據(jù)集中的信息包括所有住院和門診醫(yī)療索賠數(shù)據(jù)，包括處方藥使用、診斷和治療代碼、初級和二級診斷代碼以及健康檢查數(shù)據(jù)。納入國家健康保險制度-國家安全保障制度的所有個人都被跟蹤到2019年，除非死亡或喪失參加國家健康保險的資格，例如移民。本研究的方案經(jīng)我院機(jī)構(gòu)審查委員會(4-2022-0304)和NHIS(NHIS-2022-2-232)批準(zhǔn)。?CaseandControlSelectionWeusedtheInternationalStatisticalClassificationofDiseasesandRelatedHealthProblems,10thRevision(ICD-10)toidentifycasepatients.WedefinedONFH(N=3,500)usingthediagnosticcodeandtreatmentcodeICD-10codesforosteonecrosisofthefemur(SupplementaryTable1).Toavoidlengthbias,anestedcase-controlanalysiswasdesignedtoinvestigatetheeffectoftheprescribedcorticosteroiddoseonONFH.PatientswhohadONFHwerematched1:5toformacontrolgroupbasedonthevariablesofbirthyear,sex,andfollow-upduration.Identicalexclusioncriteriawereappliedtothecontrolgroup(N=12).Finally,casepatients(N=3,488)andcontrolpatients(N=17,440)werematchedbasedonsexandageattheindexdateandcompared(Figure1).我們使用國際疾病和相關(guān)健康問題統(tǒng)計分類第十次修訂版(ICD-10)來確定病例患者。我們使用股骨骨壞死的診斷代碼和治療代碼ICD-10來定義ONFH(N=3,500)(補充表1)。為避免長度偏倚，設(shè)計了巢式病例對照分析，以調(diào)查處方皮質(zhì)類固醇劑量對ONFH的影響。根據(jù)出生年份、性別、隨訪時間等變量對ONFH患者進(jìn)行1:5匹配，形成對照組。對照組(N=12)采用相同的排除標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。最后，根據(jù)索引日期的性別和年齡對病例患者(N=3,488)和對照患者(N=17,440)進(jìn)行匹配和比較(圖1)。??Fig.1Studyflow:selectionofparticipantsofcasesandmatchedcontrolsONFH,osteonecrosisoffemoralhead.??DefinitionofParametersFromthehealthexaminations,participantswereclassifiedinto4groupsbasedonthebodymassindex(BMI)accordingtotheWorldHealthOrganizationWesternPacificRegionguidelineandtheKoreanpracticalguidelineasfollows:low(<18.5),normal(18.5to23),overweight(23to25),andobese(>25).Underlyingcomorbiditieswere
