Epidemiologic and clinical studies have shown that gallstone disease is a common gastrointestinal disease; more than 14% of adults are affected by this disorder. From the preventive medicine perspective, the most crucial topic for preventing gallstone disease is how to achieve early detection and early treatment by using effective screening tools. To understand the morbidity rate of gallstone disease and to prevent its occurrence requires considering the progression of the disease. Early prevention of gallstone disease necessitates understanding the relevant risk factors of gallstone disease occurrence and its transitional influence. This paper discusses the epidemiologic and economic evaluation of gallstone disease based on a hospital- based screening experience in Taipei, Taiwan. This screening experience will hopefully provide additional information for establishing screening strategies and health management programs for gallstone disease.
