  • 건협 부산지부는 지난해부터 선천성대사이상질환 중 페닐케톤뇨증(PKU)에 대한 검사를 실시해, 관련 의료기관으로부터 좋은 반응을 불러 일으키고 있다. 지난해 2월부터 검사의 필요성에 대한 계몽작업을 시작해 지금까지 가검물수집, 검사, 결과통보까지 성실히 수행해 오고 있는 부산지부는, 지난해의 검사에 대한 평가를 통해 올해에는 선천성 대사이상 질환의 발견율을 증가시키기 위해 검사종목의 확대 등에 대한 계획을 수립, 진행시키고 있다. 부산지역 내 신생아 건강관리에 일익을 담당하고 있는 이 검사사업이 전국적으로 확대되어 정신박약아의 발생을 사전에 예방할 수 있게 되기를 바라면서 부산지부의 검사 실시 과정과 앞으로의 계획을 들어보기로 한다.

  • Objectives: Since 1991, nationwide massive neonatal screening program for phenylketonuria (PKU) and congenital hypothyroidism have been performed in Korea. As in many other countries, efficiency of this program has not been definitely concluded. For the purpose of evaluation of this program, from the perspective of efficiency, a cost-benefit analysis was carried out. Methods: Costs of the detection and the treatment program were compared with the projected benefit(avoided costs) that results from the prevention of the mental retardation associated with the disorders due to PKU and hypothyroidism. Costs and benefits were discounted at an annual rate of 5%, and duration of life-long labor was assumed to be 30 years. Cost and benefit were estimated based on the detection rates of one case of PKU per 5,572 and one case of congenital hypothyroidism per 32,554 babies screened during 1991-1997. Results: The benefit-cost ratio was 0.418. The sensitivity analysis for the discount rates and labor durations showed that most cost-benefit ratios were lower than one(1.0) except when discount rate was changed to 3% and detection rate to two- or threefold and/or labor duration to 40 years. Conclusion: The result of this study suggested that present program of mass screening for PKU and congenital hypothyroidism could not be justified in terms of efficiency. It doesn't coincide with the results of previous studies in major developed countries, presumably because of difference in detection rates and welfare cost for the disabled.
