Abstract

This study analyzed the association between the type of transport accident and the associated mortality of elderly inpatients. The findings will contribute to the development and establishment of a systematic and effective policy according to the type of transport accident to reduce the mortality of inpatients. The data on elderly inpatients with transport accidents was extracted from the 2013-2017 Korean National Hospital Discharge In-depth Survey dataset. The data was analyzed by descriptive statistics analysis, chi-square tests and multiple logistic regression analysis. After adjustment for sociodemographic, disease, injury and policy factors, the elderly inpatient deaths due to transport accidents were significantly higher for pedestrian accidents (OR: 2.522 95%, CI: 1.291-4.972), bicycle/cart accidents (OR: 2.809, 95% CI: 1.328-5.942) and motorcycle accidents (OR: 2.330, 95% CI: 1.226-4.819) rather than that for car accidents. Likewise, elderly inpatients have a higher risk of death from other types of transport accidents than those caused by car accidents. However, Korean policies related to transport accidents of elderly inpatients are concentrated on car accidents. Effective policy is needed according to the characteristics of each type of transport accident to reduce the transport accident mortality of elderly inpatients.

본 연구의 목적은 노인 운수사고 입원 환자의 운수사고 유형과 사망 사이의 연관성을 분석하여, 노인 운수사고 입원 및 사망 환자를 줄이기 위한 운수사고 유형에 따른 체계적이고 효과적인 정책 개발 및 수립에 기여하기 위함이다. 본 연구의 방법은 2013-2017년의 질병관리본부 퇴원손상심층조사 데이터세트 중 운수사고를 입은 노인 입원환자를 추출하여 기술통계분석, 카이제곱검정과 다중 로지스틱 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 인구사회학적, 의료기관, 의료이용 특성을 보정한 상태에서 분석한 결과 운수사고로 인한 노인의 입원 사망은 승용차 사고에 비하여 보행자 사고(OR : 2.522 95% CI 1.291-4.927), 자전거/카트 사고(OR : 2.809 95% CI 1.328-5.942), 오토바이 사고(OR : 2.330 95% CI 1.126-4.819)로 인한 사망이 각각 통계적으로 유의하게 높았다. 이와 같이 노인의 경우 승용차 사고로 인한 사망에 비하여 다른 유형의 운수사고로 인한 사망의 위험이 높지만, 우리나라 노인의 운수사고 관련 정책은 승용차 사고에 집중되어 있다. 따라서 증가하는 노인 집단의 운수사고 사망자를 줄이기 위하여 노인 집단의 운수사고 유형별 특성에 따른 효과적인 정책적 고려가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
