Abstract
Objectives The purpose of this study is to analyze the characteristic of pediatric patients who visited oriental medical hospital for growth treatment. Methods The study was conducted with 130 pediatric patients who visited ${\bigcirc}{\bigcirc}$ Korean medicine hospital from January 2016 to August 2017. The patient's data was classified by sex, age, pattern identification and diseases. The classified data was analyzed to find the correlations and characteristics among variables. Results There were 50.8% of boys and 49.2% of girls. 6.2% of the total patients were in 'early childhood', 50.8% were in 'late childhood' and 43.1% were in 'puberty' stage. In terms of pattern identification, 44.6% of the total patients were 'Spleen-lung Qi Deficiency', 53.8% were 'Lung-kidney Yin Deficiency' and 1.5% were 'Weakness of Heart and gallbladder'. 44.3% of the patients had various diseases including rhinitis (77.6% of 120.7%). Height percentile of the children with using the Growth chart of 2017 was lower than using the Growth chart of 2007. Predicted height based on the child's bone-age were higher than the predicted height based on the parental height, although both of the precited factors were correlated to the current child's height. Conclusions This study showed the characteristic of the pediatric patients who visited oriental medical hospital for growth treatment. It helps to determine prognosis and treatment, and to explain treatment measures.
