Abstract
Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the satisfaction and features of patient groups treated with KMST. Methods: From December 4th 2013 to May 8th 2014, 94 outpatients and 37 inpatients were treated with KMST, and we analyzed their medical records and satisfaction level questionnaires. Results: Mean age of total inpatients and OB&GY inpatients, total outpatients and OB&GY outpatients treated with KMST was $50.84{\pm}9.72$ years, $46.86{\pm}8.43$ years, $44.39{\pm}12.16$ years and $44.01{\pm}11.20$ years respectively. Mean value of treatment numbers per person of each group was 14.70 times, 14.58 times, 3.29 times and 3.41 times respectively. Mean interval between treatments per person of each group was 1.32 days, 1.23 days, 10.90 days and 11.62 days each. Chief complaints of OB&GY inpatients in the order of frequency were lower abdominal pain, dyspepsia and vaginal discharge. As for OB&GY outpatients, they were cold hypersensitivity, vaginal discharge, dyspepsia and infertility. The satisfaction level questionnaires for KMST showed a mean value of $7.98{\pm}1.82$ out of 10-point scale in 6 multiple-choice questions. Conclusions: Most of the patients treated with KMST were female. Pain, dyspepsia and cold hypersensitivity, vaginal discharge were frequent chief complaints in OB&GY inpatients and outpatients group each. It was found that overall satisfaction level of patients treated with KMST was high and there was no reported side effect.
