Abstract

The study was conducted to analyze the impacts of COVID-19 on the number of dental trauma patients. Based on the data provided by the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service's Healthcare Bigdata Hub, dental trauma which occurred from 2010 to 2020 was analyzed. Since the outbreak of COVID-19, the incidence of dental trauma per 100,000 decreased compared to the average Incidence between 2017 to 2019. By age, it decreased by 5.4% (p = 0.017) for 0 - 4 years old, 30.3% (p < 0.001) for 5 - 9 years old, 39.5% (p < 0.001) for 10 - 14 years old, 14.5% (p = 0.002) for 15 - 19 years old, 1.3% for 20 - 29 years old, 0.2% for 40 - 49 years old, 2.7% for 50 - 59 years old, 1.2% for 60 years old or older, but it increased by 2.5% for 30 - 39 years old. Compared monthly, before and after the outbreak of COVID-19 confirmed patients, the number of dental trauma patients dropped sharply. After the outbreak of COVID-19, the incidence of dental trauma decreased significantly for under 20 years old, but the decrease was not significant for 20 years old or older.

이 연구는 코로나 바이러스 감염증-19가 치과적 외상 환자 수에 미치는 영향을 분석하기 위해 수행됐다. 건강보험심사평가원의 보건의료빅데이터개방시스템에서 제공하는 자료를 기준으로 2010년부터 2020년까지 발생한 치과적 외상을 분석하였다. 코로나 바이러스 감염증-19 발생 이후 10만 명당 치과적 외상 발병률은 2017년부터 2019년까지의 평균 발병률에 비해 감소했다. 연령별로는 0 - 4세 5.4%(p = 0.017), 5 - 9세 30.3%(p < 0.001), 10 - 14세 39.5%(p < 0.001), 15 - 19세 14.5%(p = 0.002), 20 - 29세 1.3%, 40 - 49세 0.2%, 50 - 59세 2.7%, 60세 이상 1.2% 감소했으며 30 - 39세는 2.5% 증가했다. 월별 변화로는 코로나 바이러스 감염증-19 신규 확진자의 폭증을 전후로 치과적 외상 환자의 수도 급감했다. 코로나 바이러스 감염증-19 발생 이후 치과적 외상의 발병률은 20세 미만의 연령군에서 유의하게 감소했으나, 20세 이상의 연령군에서는 유의하게 감소하지 않았다.
