Abstract

Based on 2009 Korea Health Panel, this study investigated socio-economic and clinical characteristics associated with emergency medical transport use, and analyzed a simple predictive model of emergency medical transport use. Analysis results were summarized as follows: First, emergency medical transports such as 119 ambulance were more used than private cars, taxis, or walk-in. Second, between a user group and a non-user group of emergency medical transports, there were statistically significant differences in age, the level of education, family composition, house type, household income, the relationship with the head of household, insurance types, the presence of handicap, the presence of chronic disease, reasons to emergency medical service use, and treatment after emergency medical service completed. Third, age, household income, the presence of handicap, reasons to emergency medical service use, and treatment after emergency medical service completed were statistically significant predictors associated with emergency medical transports use. To improve emergency medical service system, the characteristics and predictors associated with emergency medical transports are more concerned.

본 연구에서는 한국보건사회연구원과 국민건강보험공단(2013)의 한국의료패널 2009년 데이터를 이용해 응급환자 이송 서비스의 이용과 관련된 사회경제적 임상적 특성을 조사하고, 예측 인자를 분석하였다. 분석 결과를 요약하면, 첫째, 119 구급차, 민간 구급차 등 응급환자 이송 수단을 이용한 경우가 자가용, 택시, 도보 등 응급환자 이송 수단을 이용하지 않은 경우보다 많았다. 둘째, 개인 및 가구 특성 변수 중 연령, 교육 수준, 세대 구성, 주거 형태, 월 평균 가구 소득, 가구주와의 관계 등에서, 응급 상황 특성 변수 중 의료 보장 형태, 장애 유무, 만성질환 유무, 응급실 방문 이유, 응급실 이용 후 조치 등에서 응급환자 이송 수단을 이용한 경우와 이용하지 않은 경우에 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 나타냈다. 셋째, 개인 및 가구 특성 변수 중에서는 연령과 월 평균 가구 소득, 응급 상황 특성 변수 중에서는 장애 유무, 응급실 방문 이유, 응급실 이용 후 조치 등이 응급환자 이송 서비스의 이용에 통계적으로 유의한 예측 인자로 나타났다. 따라서 병원 전 응급환자 이송 단계에서 응급 처치의 적절성 제고와 함께 응급환자 이송 서비스의 이용 특성과 예측 인자를 감안한 효과적 대응이 필요하다.
