Objectives: To introduce the process of setting up the Taiwan Maternal and Child Health Database (TMCHD) and the content of the TMCHD. Methods: This project utilized the Taiwan Birth Registration Database (BRD), Birth Certificate Application (BCA), National Register of Death (NRD [2004-2011 for the BRD, BCA, and NRD]), and the National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD [1998-2011]) to inter-link the medical claims of offspring and their parents. An effort was also made to restore the medical claims of a parent to his/her newborn; medical claims are usually issued to one of the parent within 60 days after birth. Results: The TMCHD includes the information derived from inpatient/outpatient claims of all infants born between 2004 and 2011, in addition to a number of variables recorded in the BRD, including birthweight, gestational age, and single/multiple births. The variables in the BCA, such as maternal smoking, alcohol consumption, and newborn Apgar scores, were identified in a separate file. The medical claims of parents retrieved from the NHIRD, including medical orders (1998-2011) and the information pertaining to mortality retrieved from the NRD (2001-2011), were arranged in separate files. Conclusions: The TMCHD can be used as material for life course studies and may provide better information for evidence-based health policy.
目的:介绍台湾妇幼健康数据库的建立过程及数据库的内容。方法:本研究利用台湾出生登记数据库(BRD)、出生证明申请数据库(BCA)、国家死亡登记簿(NRD [2004-2011 for the BRD, BCA, and NRD])、国家健康保险研究数据库(NHIRD[1998-2011])对子女及其父母的医疗理赔进行关联。还努力恢复父母对新生儿的医疗索赔;医疗索赔通常在出生后60天内向父母一方发出。结果:TMCHD包括2004年至2011年间出生的所有婴儿的住院/门诊索赔信息，以及BRD中记录的一些变量，包括出生体重、胎龄和单胎/多胎。BCA中的变量，如母亲吸烟、饮酒和新生儿阿普加评分，在一个单独的文件中确定。从NHIRD检索到的父母的医疗索赔，包括医嘱(1998-2011年)和从NHIRD检索到的有关死亡率的信息(2001-2011年)被安排在单独的档案中。结论:TMCHD可作为生命历程研究的材料，为循证卫生政策提供更好的信息。

Objectives: There have been a large number of letters to media editors to advocate readers' thoughts on food safety because of recent food industry scandals. Yet, no systematic analysis for these letters has been reported. We conducted a systemic analysis for these opinions and proposed the concept of food safety. Methods: We screened 4 major newspapers in Taiwan for all letters to the editors, about the food safety scandals, published in the media in September and October 2014. These opinions were summarized thematically based on the contents, followed by developing a model food safety management system based on systemic theory model. Results: We identified 519 readers’ letters from the media. Most of the letters provided one-sided viewpoints fragmentally focusing on the direct causes relating to food safety events. Approximate 77% of readers thought the problem of food safety was associated with the gaps of government supervision and administration, followed by the trust in the food industries (12.6%). However, lacking of an integrative thinking to elaborate the systemic causes of the food scandal events was indicated. These opinions suggested especially an inadequate consumer culture, i.e. unreasonable propensity to food products inherent in consumers, which was not coherent with the business philosophy of food industry corporations. Conclusions: Food safety relies on the cooperation and collaboration among all stakeholders in the food production, marketing and consumption chain rather than independent efforts of individuals. The government has to refine their functions and capacities to supervise the food industries to ensure safe food operation. In addition, the food industries and consumers need to take a further step shifting narrow viewpoints of issues to integrate their thought into deliberate systems toward a safe operation in food supply chains.
