AB  - Neurocysticercosis, or infection of the brain by larvae of the pig tapeworm,  Taenia solium, has been reported in the literature with increased frequency during the  past 3 decades in the United States. Population-based assessments of NCC are based on  hospital discharge data, but do not include the outpatient population of NCC. I provide a  population-based perspective of the complete spectrum of care of neurocysticercosis in  the insured population of Oregon using the Oregon All Payers All Claims (APAC). I  describe the demographic characteristics, frequency of neurocysticercosis-associated  diagnoses and procedures, and disease burden of people with neurocysticercosis, and  evaluate the APAC database as a source of demographic and financial information about  NCC in Oregon.
