Abstract

This study was conducted to analyze factors affecting the length of stay in children with injuries by determining relationships between length of stay and characteristics of children(aged 0 to 12) with injuries. 7,804 patients aged 0 to 12 who participated in the Korea Nation Hospital Discharge In-Depth Injury Surveys, got a diagnosis of sequelae of injuries and of other consequences of external causes(S00-T98), and were discharged between 1 January 2016 and 31 December 2020 were investigated. A frequency analysis, independent samples t-test, and ANOVA were performed. Also, to identify factors affecting the length of stay, a regression analysis was performed. The average length of stay for the patients investigated in this study was 5.5 days. The length of stay for school-age children(aged 7 to 12) and children who had either public or private coverage was higher than that for preschoolers(aged 0 to 6) and children who didn't have public or private coverage, respectively. The length of stay for children admitted to a hospital in a rural area(Jeolla-do or Gyeongsang-do) was higher than that for children admitted to a hospital in a metropolitan area and the length of stay for children admitted to a hospital that had 100-299 hospital beds was relatively long. However, children who first visited a hospital for outpatient care stayed relatively short in hospital and children who had been burned or injured in traffic crashes stayed relatively long in hospital. Children who got a secondary diagnosis and had a principal procedure or who died after being discharged were in hospital for a long time. The findings of this study shall be useful, as they identified characteristics related to the length of stay for Korean children with injuries and factors that determine the length of stay for those children by analyzing the national dataset, or more specifically, the data from the Korea National Hospital Discharge In-Depth Injury Surveys. The risk of child injuries can be easily reduced by taking actions to prevent them and providing safety education programs. The present study has provided essential baseline data for the provision of aggressive care for child injuries and the establishment of a range of policies for child injury prevention.

이 연구는 어린이(0-12세)손상 환자의 특성에 따른 재원일수의 관계를 규명하여, 어린이손상 환자 재원일수에 미치는 요인을 분석하고자 시행하였다. 조사대상은 퇴원손상심층조사 자료에서 2016년 1월1일부터 2020년 12월31일 까지 퇴원한 환자 중 0-12세 이하이며, 주진단이 손상 및 사고의 외인(S00-T98)인 환자 7,804명이었다. 분석은 빈도 분석 및 독립표본 t-검정, ANOVA 검정을 실시하였다. 재원일수에 영향을 미치는 요인을 알아보고자 회귀분석을 시행하였다. 연구대상자의 평균재원일수는 5.5일 이었다. 학령기(7-12세)기 아동이 학령전기(0-6세)보다 재원일수가 길었으며, 진료비 지불방법이 의료급여 및 기타보험 환자가 재원일수가 길었다. 의료기관 소재지가 수도권보다 비수도권(전라도, 경상도)일 때, 병상규모가 100-299병상인 경우 재원일수가 길었다. 내원경로는 외래인 경우 재원일수가 짧았고, 손상기전이 운수사고, 화상인 경우 재원일수가 길었다. 부진단이 있고, 주수술을 시행한 경우 재원일수가 길었으며, 퇴원후 방향이 사망인 경우 재원일수가 길게 나타났다. 이 연구는 전국 단위 자료인 퇴원손상심층조사 자료를 이용하여 우리나라 어린이 손상환자의 재원일수의 특성 및 결정요인을 파악하였다는 점에서 의의를 갖는다. 또한, 안전교육 및 예방 활동만으로도 발생을 줄일 수 있는 어린이 손상의 관련 요인 대한 적극적인 치료와 다양한 예방정책 마련을 위한 기초 자료를 제공했다는 점에서 의의가 있다.
