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. 000002938 540__ $$fCC BY 000002938 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000002938 650__ $$aTaenia solium$$035080 000002938 650__ $$aNeurocysticercosis$$032065 000002938 650__ $$aFees and Charges$$018931 000002938 650__ $$aCysticercosis$$017316 000002938 650__ $$aCost of Illness$$029841 000002938 650__ $$aBrain$$015788 000002938 651__ $$aOregon$$041094 000002938 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000002938 692__ $$aDepartment of Public Health and Preventive Medicine$$041444 000002938 7001_ $$aFlecker, Robert$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000002938 7201_ $$aTownes, John$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354$$7Personal$$eAdvisor 000002938 8564_ $$9a0d9347f-55f6-4a58-a2f2-c018fbe7d3d5$$s2908929$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/2938/files/3709_etd.pdf$$ePublic$$2f5ad4c1d1e9c1ab5a3425041630e8639$$31 000002938 905__ $$a/rest/prod/59/99/n3/66/5999n366z 000002938 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:2938$$pstudent-work 000002938 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
