Objectives This study is aimed to identify and evaluate the already developed clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) of temporomandibular disorders (TMD) and contribute to making decisions in developing Korean medicine CPG of TMD. Methods We searched electronic database and selected CPGs of TMD according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Then, we made appraisal of selected CPGs by using AGREE II (Appraisal of Guidelines for Research & Evaluation II). Results Four CPGs are included and appraised with AGREE II. Among 6 domains of AGREE II, all CPGs failed to score over 60% in four domains. Only one CPG mentioned acupuncture as an adjunctive treatment for myofascial TMD. Conclusions It is difficult to indicate that included CPGs are with sufficient quality to recommend and it appears not to be appropriate to apply these already developed CPGs in Korean medicine clinical fields. Therefore, developing a new Korean medicine clinical practice guideline of TMD is required.

Objectives: This study is aimed to develop a Clinical Practice Guideline (CPG) on acupuncture treatment for the patients with post-stroke spasticity. Methods: Experts committee, consisting of stroke or methodology specialists, searched Medline, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, and 19 Korean medicine journals. The search terms were selected to screen the randomized controlled trials (RCTs) or systematic reviews for the effectiveness of acupuncture on post-stroke spasticity, compared with placebo or conventional group. Levels of evidence and grades of recommendations were appraised based on Recommendations for Development of Clinical Practice Guideline in Korean Medicine. Results & Conclusions: One systematic review and 7 RCT were included to build the CPG. There was a strong evidence to support the effectiveness of electroacupuncture treatment for post-stroke spasticity. However, it did not show any sufficient evidence to treat the patients with post-stroke spasticity with the sole acupuncture. The moderate evidence was presented that over 3 times of the electroacupuncture treatments with 1-100 Hz frequency should be performed every week on the acupoints, such as LI11, LI10, TE5, LI4, ST36, GB34, ST40, or LR3, for 20-30 minutes. It was also suggested that the procedure should begin at the acute stage just after the vital signs of the patients are stabilized. Finally, there was a moderate evidence to support safety of acupuncture treatment for post-stroke spasticity.

Objectives This study is aimed to develop a Clinical Practice Guideline (CPG) on acupuncture treatment for the stroke patients with Post-stroke Urinary Incontinence(PSUI). Methods Experts committee, consisting of stroke or methodology specialists, searched Medline, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, and 19 Korean medicine journals. The search terms were selected to screen the randomized controlled trials (RCTs) or systematic reviews for the effectiveness of acupuncture on PSUI, compared with placebo or conventional group. Levels of evidence and grades of recommendations were appraised based on Recommendations for Development of Clinical Practice Guideline in Korean Medicine. Results & Conclusions 8 RCT were included to build the CPG. There was a strong evidence to support the effectiveness of acupuncture treatment for PSUI. The moderate evidence was presented that over 3 times a week of the acupuncture should be performed over 4 weeks on the acupoints, such as BL23, CV3, SP6, CV4, CV6, ST28, BL28, BL32, GV20, BL22, GV4 or ST36, for 15-30 minutes. 1-150 Hz frequency is suggested if electro-acupuncture treatments is performed with. It was also suggested that the procedure should begin at the acute stage just after the vital signs of the patients are stabilized. There was a moderate evidence to support safety of acupuncture treatment for PSUI. We recommend acu-points of constitutional acupuncture for Sasangin on the healthy side.

Objectives This study was aimed to evaluate clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) of traffic injuries, which has already been developed at domestic or outside of country, and to explore the Korean medical treatments included in the CPGs. Methods Twelve electronic databases (PubMed, Cochrane library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure [CNKI {Chinese Academic Journals, CAJ}], Research Information Sharing Service [RISS], Oriental Medicine Advanced Searching Integrated System [OASIS], KoreaMed, Korean Medical Guideline Information [KoMGI), National Guideline Clearinghouse [AHRQ], Core Outcome Measures in Effectiveness Trials Initiative Website [COMET], Turning Research into Practice [TRIP], The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence [NICE], and Medical Research Information Center [MedRIC]) up to July 2021 were searched. Only systematically developed CPGs for traffic injuries were selected and appraised. The appraisal was conducted by using Appraisal of Guidelines for Research & Evaluation (AGREE) II tool. Results Six CPGs were included and evaluated. All CPGs were appraised as highly recommended because they exceeded 60% in more than 4 among 6 domains of AGREE II, including domain of 'rigor of development', and 30% in the rest. Recommendations related to Korean medicine treatments such as on manual therapy related to Chuna were given in 6 CPGs, 4 for acupuncture, 1 for Qigong and 1 for Taping. Conclusions The 6 CPGs were developed up to now through a systematic development methodology and there were many recommendations for Korean medical treatments related to manual (Chuna) treatment, acupuncture and Qigong. However, the evidence for the side effects and risk factors of Korean medical treatments was scantly reflected in CPGs. Therefore, it is considered that balanced CPG with benefits and risks should be developed, covering Korean medical diagnosis, treatment and prognosis.

Objectives : This study is aimed to survey Korean Medicine Doctors's perceptions in Korean Medicine Clinical Practice Guideline and Standard Korean Medicine Clinical Pathways for its spread(to increase utilization in clinical sites). Methods : The research population was set at 14,831 Korean medical institutions registered with the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service for sampling representative of Korean Medicine Doctors, and the final 2,007 subjects were selected in consideration of the research period and budget. This survey was conducted based on a telephone survey, and in some cases, a fax or e-mail survey was also conducted together. Six questions were asked about the perception of 'Korean Medicine Clinical Practice Guideline and Standard Korean Medicine Clinical Pathways', and three questions about the characteristics of the respondent. Results : The rate of recognizing Korean Medicine Clinical Practice Guideline was 36.1%. Those who worked at Korean medicine hospitals, were under 39 years of age, and had less than 11-20 years of experience as an Korean medical doctor were more likely to be aware of it. Regarding the experience of using Korean Medicine Clinical Practice Guideline, the rate of 'not used in the past and not used now' was very high at 82.9%, but the intention to use it in the future was high at 60.7%. About the Korean Medicine Clinical Pathways, 79.9% of respondents answered that they did not know. 80.6% of respondents recognized the need for the development of clinical manuals such as Korean Medicine Clinical Practice Guideline and Standard Korean Medicine Clinical Pathways. Conclusion : Their low awareness of Korean Medicine Clinical Practice Guideline seems to affect its low utilization. Therefore, active education and public relations are required in the future.

공중보건 일반의사들의 업무수행 정도와 진료, 예방 및 보건증진 사업 수행에 필요한 기본적인 수기의 수행능력을 평가하고 그들의 업무 수행능력을 향상시키기 위한 교육 개선 방안을 마련하기 위하여 1982년과 1983년에 배치된 공중보건 일반의사들 가운데 남부 4개도(경북, 경남, 전북, 전남)에서 출신학교별로 비슷한 비율로 120명을 무작위로 뽑아 1984년 1월 9일에서 2월 10일 사이에 설문지를 이용한 집단면담을 하였다. 면담에 응한 97명 가운데 본 조사에 필요한 자료를 제시할 수 있었는 86명으로 부터 얻은 자료를 분석하였다. 보건지소의 진료실적은 2종 보험실시 지역이 1일 평균 $30{\sim}40$명으로 환자가 많으나 그외 지역은 $3{\sim}4$명으로 매우 저조하였다. 또한 예방 및 보건증진사업을 적극적으로 추진한다고 답한 사람은 조사대상자의 2%에 불과했다. 63가지 기본적인 임상수기 가운데서 자신있게 할 수 있다고 한 사람이 50%이상인 것은 근육주사, 정맥주사, 외상치료와 같이 간단한 것으로 12가지에 불과했고 임산부관리, 응급환자처치, 예방 및 보건증진 사업등에 필요한 수기에 자신이 있는 사람은 10%도 못 되었다. 국립보건원에서 실시하고 있는 공중보건 일반의사들의 실무교육이 현지 사정과 맞지 않는것이 많아 실무에 큰 도움이 안 된다고 했으며, 도립병원이나 지방 종합병원에서 받은 임상수련이 실무에 많은 도움이 된다고 한 사람은 38.8%였으며, 별도움이 안된 이유 가운데 전문의가 없거나 있어도 무관심하여 수련지도가 부족한 탓이라고 한 사람이 48.4%로 가장 많았다. 공중보건일반의 실무교육은 교육내용을 실무종사자들의 의견을 수렴하여 현지 사정에 맞도록 개선해야할 것이며, 실무종사자들 가운데 유능한 사람을 강사로 활용하고, 국립보건원에 모아 교육시키는 것보다 전국을 몇개의 지역으로 나누어 지방에서 교육을 시키는것이 효과적일 것이다. 임상실습은 4개월이 적당할 것으로 생각되며, 수련기간 동안에 필수적으로 익혀야 할 수기를 수첩으로 만들어 실습사실을 지도전문의에게 확인 받게하며, 보건사회부에서는 수련지도에 관한 지침을 마련하여 수련병원에 배부하고 수련상황을 평가하도록 한다. 최소한 기본 4과에 전문의를 갖춘 병원을 수련병원으로 선정하여야 할 것이다. 공중보건 일반의사들이 현지에서 당면하는 문제해결을 도우고 사업추진을 위한 동기를 유발하기 위해 보수교육이 필요하며 이를 위해 보건사회부는 재정 및 행정적 지원을 하는 것이 좋겠다. 도를 몇개지역으로 나누어 지역마다 지도위원회를 구성하여 공중보건 일반의사들을 순회지도 하고 자문에 응하도록 하는 것이 좋을 것으로 생각된다.

연구 배경 : 결핵은 아직도 우리나라에서 보건학적으로 중요한 문제임에도 불구하고 공공의료부문과 달리 민간의료부문에서의 결핵 환자 진료 실태는 잘 알려져 있지 않은 상황이다. 국내 민간 병원에서의 결핵환자 진료 실태를 파악하고자 본 연구를 시행하게 되었다. 방 법 : 2001년에서 2002년 사이에 결핵정보감시체계에 등록된 15세 이상의 결핵 환자 1,819명 중 결핵이 아닌 사람 153명을 제외한 1,666명을 대상으로 후향적으로 의무기록을 분석하였다. 환자를 폐결핵과 폐외결핵, 초치료군과 재치료군으로 나누어 임상상, 진단방법, 약제감수성 검사 결과, 치료처방, 약제부작용 및 치료결과를 분석하였다. 결 과 : 1,666명의 평균 나이는 48.9세, 남녀비는 1.3:1이었다. 폐결핵 초치료 및 재치료, 폐외결핵 초치료 및 재치료 환자는 각각 809, 276, 480, 101명이었고, 26.2%(437명) 에서 기저질환이 동반되었다. 92.0% (1,532명)에서 세균학적 검사가 시행되었고 배양 양성은 폐결핵에서 58.1%(630명), 폐외결핵에서 31.7% (184명)이었다 (p<0.05). 도말 양성 폐결핵은 45.4% (493/1,085)이었다. 결핵균 PCR은 폐결핵의 16.2%, 폐외결핵의 60.4%에서 시행되었으며 양성률은 전체 환자 중 각각 5.9%와 29.8%이었다(p<0.05). 다제내성 결핵은 14.0% (68/485)에서 확인되었다. 전체 환자의 치료완료율은 70.2%이었고, 배양 양성 폐결핵 환자에서의 완치율 및 치료완료율은 각각 49.4%와 65.6%이었다. 전체 환자의 치료중단율은 13.5%, 사망률은 1.9%이었다. 결 론 서울 소재 한 민간대학병원에서의 결핵의 진단 및 치료는 국내 결핵관리지침에 부합할 뿐만 아니라 새로운 진단기법의 도입 등 만족할 만하였으나 중도 탈락 환자를 관리하지 못하는 단점이 확인되었다. 추후 중도 탈락 환자를 관리할 수 있는 방법의 개발이 필요하다. 다양한 치료기간의 원인에 대하여는 추후 분석이 필요하다.
