Incidence of kidney, XXXX in Korea: An update.

@entity263 @entity1987 @entity5 @entity150 @entity204 @entity703
UNASSIGNED: The incidence of @entity5 is sharply increasing. @entity5 is a leading cause of @entity204 as well as a significant burden on society. The incidence of @entity5 has shown a higher than average increase and will become an important concern in the future. Therefore, an overall and accurate understanding of the incidence of @entity5 is essential. In this study, which was based on the Korea National @entity5 Incidence Database, annual incident cases, age-standardized incidence rates, @entity1987 ( @entity1987 ), and distribution by age group were examined in kidney, @entity263 , respectively. From 1999 to 2011, the total number of each type of @entity5 was as follows: @entity703 (32,600 cases, 25.5%), @entity150 (37,950 cases, 29.7%), and @entity263 (57,332 cases, 44.8%). The age-standardized incidence rates of @entity263 showed a significant increase with an @entity1987 of 12.3% in males. @entity703 gradually increased with an @entity1987 of 6.0% for both sexes and became the second most frequent @entity5 after 2008. @entity150 showed no significant change with an @entity1987 of -0.2% for both sexes and has decreased slightly since 2007. The distribution of @entity703 according to age showed two peaks in the 50- to 54-year-old and 65- to 69-year-old age groups. @entity263 occurred mostly in the 70- to 74-year-old age group. The proportions of male to female were 2.5:1 in @entity703 and 5.6:1 in @entity150 . We have summarized the incidence trends of kidney, @entity263 and have provided useful information for screening and management of these @entity5 in the future.
