Fibrolipomas are a rare microscopic variant of lipomas, characterized by mature adipose tissue interspersed with dense fibrous connective tissue. These lesions are rarely observed in the head and neck region and represent <0.6% of all benign tumors of the larynx and hypopharynx. Their clinical presentation depends on the location and size of lesions. Patients present with variable symptoms; however, fibrolipomas of the larynx and hypopharynx are clinically important because these tumors can cause unpredictable airway obstruction, particularly during general anesthesia induction. We present a case of a hypopharyngeal fibrolipoma in a 61-year-old patient with frequent dyspnea, dysphagia, and muffled voice. Laryngoscopy revealed a well-demarcated pedunculated ovoid mass involving the larynx. We performed laryngomicrosurgery using a carbon dioxide laser for surgical excision and subsequent evaluation confirmed the diagnosis of fibrolipoma. We report a case of hypopharyngeal fibrolipoma, together with a literature review.

A 65-year-old patient who underwent total thyroidectomy 10 years ago was suspected of having a parathyroid adenoma, and minimally invasive parathyroidectomy was planned. Preoperative ultrasonography(USG) and 99mTc MIBI scan indicated a left lower parathyroid lesion. In the first operation, intraoperative parathyroid hormone monitoring (IOPTH) was not possible due to hospital circumstances. Although no adenomatous lesion was found in the expected surgical field, surgery was completed after removing lesions around the left lower parathyroid gland. However, post-surgery, parathyroid hormone did not decrease at all, so a second operation was performed with IOPTH preparation. In the second operation, intraoperative ultrasonography was performed, and a suspected adenoma lesion was removed from the left upper lesion. He has been under follow-up for 3 years without complications. Surgeon-peformed intraoperative USG and preoperative scintigraphy had advantages in determining the localization of parathyroid lesion even withiout IOPTH.

국민건강보험 청구자료는 급여 지급을 위한 자료로 질환에 대한 유병 및 발생자료는 아니므로 보건학적 연구 자료로 활용하기 위해서는 진료에피소드개념을 적용하여 재가공이 필요하다. 따라서 건강보험 청구자료의 보건학적 연구 자료로 활용하기 위한 시범적 진료에피소드 자료를 구축하는 것이 목적이다. 본 연구에서는 무진료기간을 퇴원한 당일 입원한 경우 월 단위 분리청구를 보정하기 위해 0으로 정의하였다. 서울지역에 한하여 호흡기계 질환(ICD10: J00-J99)및 심혈관계 질환(ICD10: I00-I99) 발생의 진료개시일부터 입원 이후 재입원까지 경향을 확인하였다. 무진료기간이 0일 일 때 자료 감소율은 건강보험청구자료의 월 단위 분리청구건으로 인한 것으로 판단된다. 또한 의료기간 종별에 따라 월 단위 분리청구 경향 차이가 있는 것으로 확인 하였다. 본 연구를 통해 구축된 시범적 진료에피소드자료는 기초적 역학정보를 산출하는 자료처리 기법으로 이용될 수 있을 것이다.

Purpose: This study assessed the status of the Development and Utilization of critical pathways (CP) in South Korea. Methods: We surveyed 195 hospitals obtained on the Korean Hospital Association website. Data were collected using structured questionnaires for staff members in charge of CP management personnel in these hospitals. The questionnaire included CP developed by the institutions, the coverage rates and completion rates of CP in the current year, and management indicators related to CP. The questionnaire also included CP support systems and content within the institutions and questions regarding the advantages of CP utilization and obstacles associated with the CP development process. Results: Analysis of the responses from 70 hospitals (35.9% response rate) showed that a total of 1,370 CP sets were developed. The number of CP related to surgery departments was 365 (26.6%), and CP related to surgery and procedure was 1,093 (79.8%), respectively. The CP coverage rate was the most frequently used indicator to monitor the effect of CP (97.1%), followed by the completion rate (90.0%) and the length of stay in hospital (61.4%). CP managers reported that CP were highly useful for communication (3.39±0.493) and accurate information provision (3.39±0.491). The perception that CP violated doctors' autonomy in treatment was relatively low (2.87±0.645). Conclusion: It is necessary to establish an infrastructure in hospitals for CP. CP can facilitate communication and provide accurate information.

This study aimed to explore the status of food service outsourcing behavior of long-term care institutions (LTCIs) through a cross-sectional survey using a questionnaire administered between July 16th and August 7th, 2020. The survey respondents were either dietitians or facility managers, who worked at 731 nursing homes, 477 group homes, and 673 day-care centers. Approximately 25.9% of nursing homes, 11.7% of group homes, and 33.1% of day-care centers used a managed-services company to operate their food service units. The main reason for outsourcing food service by nursing homes was related to the staffing of dietitians and cooks, whereas group homes and day-care centers outsourced food services due to factors relating to meal costs and the cooking process. Almost all the LTCIs entered into private contracts for outsourced food services. Only a few food service contracts included the types of meals, nutrition standards such as protein and calories per meal, and the parameter or ratio of food cost. Of the respondents, 84.5% from nursing homes, 87.5% from group homes, and 87.1% from day-care centers agreed that the quality of outsourced food services of the LTCIs should be regulated. Meals are essential for maintaining the health and functional status of LTCI users. As more LTCIs outsource their food services, we suggest the following: (1) Increasing the minimum dietitian staffing standards for LTCIs as per the Welfare of Senior Citizens Act and requiring at least one dietitian for every nursing home, (2) Making it mandatory to use a standard food service contract template when drafting food service contract, and (3) Developing realistic standards for food service operations considering the size and operation type of the LTCIs.

Background: Despite the various activities of the regional public hospitals, discussions are being made as to whether or not to continue due to the issue of financial deficit. Therefore, the main factors affecting the fiscal deficit were analyzed with 10-year data. Methods: This study is a panel analysis that analyzed the characteristics of 34 regional public hospitals and influencing factors on medical benefits for 10 years from 2010 to 2019. First, we analyze the determinants of medically vulnerable areas set by the government, analyze the trend of medical profit per 100 beds and medical profit rate from 2010 to 2019, and identify the factors that affect them. Results: Differences in medical profit per 100 beds and medical profit-to-medical profit rate were caused by market share representing regional characteristics, and both indicators improved as the number of outpatients increased. The important influencing variables are the number of doctors and nurses, and both indicators improve when there are specialists, but medical benefits decrease as the number of doctors increases when judged by the number of people per 100 beds. In addition, the number of nurses per 100 beds does not contribute to medical profit and has a negative effect on the medical profit ratio. Conclusion: As only regional characteristics were taken into account for medically vulnerable areas, operational characteristics need to be considered. The greatest impact on the finances of local medical centers is the proper staffing of doctors and nurses, and their efficient arrangement is the most important factor in financial stability.

본 연구는 국내외 문헌고찰을 통하여 건강보험과 산재보험, 자동차보험을 중심으로 선진국의 국민의료비 관리제도를 살펴보고, 우리나라 국민의료비 관리제도의 문제점을 파악하여 올바른 국민의료비 관리방안을 제안하는데 목적이 있다. 분석결과 첫째, 선진국의 경우 국민의료비를 단일기관에서 통합해 운영하면서, 동일한 수가와 급여기준을 가지고 운영하고 있었다. 즉, 의료비 발생원인에 관계없이 동일한 기관에서 동일한 기준으로 통합관리하고 있었다. 둘째, 우리나라의 경우 국민의료비를 보험제도별로 다른 기관에서 분리운영하면서, 서로 다른 의료비 심사·평가, 수가를 적용하고 있었다. 이로 인해 동일증상과 상병임에도 불구하고 관리주체에 따라 의료이용량의 차이가 매우 컸다. 이러한 문제를 근본적으로 해결하기 위해서는 의료비발생의 원인이 무엇이든지 하나의 기관에서 동일한 수가체계와 기준에 근거해 통합관리해야 한다.

Background: The purpose of this study is to analyze whether there is a change in patterns of medical use among those likely to be converted their health insurance qualifications when the family support rule is alleviated. There is no empirical analysis that converting health insurance qualification will affect the increase in medical use. Methods: For analysis, data were extracted from the national health insurance eligibility and medical care database. To identify analysis targets similar to that of medical aids' characteristics among health insurance coverage, we compared income, property level, and medical use patterns through basic statistical analysis and used a difference-in-difference (DID) analysis to estimate the net effect of changes in medical use following the change of qualifications. Results: The main results are as follows. The results show that those who are under the 5% income group (1st income group) of health insurance coverage are the most similar to the medical aids group. DID analysis shows that changes in the medical use of people who maintain their national insurance qualification and who are not. As a results, the number of hospitalized days of converting group was reduced by 3.5 days while outpatient days were increased by 1.8 days. Conclusion: As a result, there was not much difference in the patterns of medical use for the under 5% income group who are likely to be eligible for expanded medical aids when the family support rule is alleviated. In addition, more than 30% of them are in arrears with their health insurance premiums, causing inconvenience in using medical services. These findings suggest the need of abolishing the criteria obligated to support family, and great efforts should be made to contribute to non-paid poor and remove their medical blind spot.
