2.Morbidity situation in elderly in Huu Nghi Hospital through 943 cadaveric operation
Journal of Vietnamese Medicine 1999;232(1):43-47
This study aims to present the morbidity structure that classified according to the 17 disease classes of World Health Organization and determine the age, gender and anatomical lesion of two major disease classes: cancer (class II) and cardiovascular diseases (class VII). Subject: the medical records and anatomical results of 943 cadavers received operations in the department of pathological anatomy of Huu Nghi Hospital. The results: 649 patients (68.82%) were at ages of 51-70, rate of male patients was 96.2%. The deaths due to cardiovascular diseases accounted for the highest rate (46.13%), followed by cancer (30.4%); the mortality rate due to infection was at low (2,01%). The highest mortality rate occurred in patients with cerberovascular accident, followed by the myocardial infarction among patients with the disease class VII (cardiovascular disease). The liver cancer was a leading cause of deaths, followed by lung cancer patients with the disease class II (cancer).

10.Circulatory Disease Surveillance System in Korea.
Journal of Preventive Medicine and Public Health 2007;40(4):273-277
The purpose of establishing the circulatory disease surveillance system in Korea is to ensure that the problems of circulatory disease importance are being monitored efficiently and effectively. The goals of circulatory disease surveillance system are to monitor the epidemiological trends of circulatory disease and to evaluate the outcome of health activity for controlling circulatory diseases. Surveillance system are being updated to achieve the needs for the integration of the surveillance and information system, the establishment of data standards, the electronic exchange of data, and changes in the goals of circulatory disease surveillance system to facilitate the response of this system to manage the national health problem effectively. This article provides the target diseases and determinant indicators to be monitored, structure of circulatory disease surveillance system, and many tasks and related activities that should be applied to this system.
