국민건강 수준과 문제점의 파악, 보건사업의 기획 및 평가를 위해 정확한 출생과 사망에 관한 통계자료가 필수적이다. 그러나 출생신고 이전에 신생아가 사망하는 경우에 대부분 출생과 사망 모두를 신고하지 않아 영아사망률을 비롯한 보건통계를 산출하지 못하여 합리적인 보건사업의 기획 및 평가가 어려우며, OECD 회원국으로서 제시해야 할 기본적인 보건통계를 제시하지 못하고 있다. 또한 현행 출생신고자료에는 신생아와 산모의 건강상태에 관한 자료가 없어 보건서비스제공과 모자보건관련 역학적 연구에 활용 가치가 거의 없다. 지역보건의료정보화, 예방접종기록전산화, 미숙아 및 선천성기형아 등록 등 각종 등록 및 전산화사업이 진행중이나 이러한 사업들이 독립적으로 진행되고 있어 같거나 비슷한 자료의 중복 입력하게 되고, 상호 연계가 되지 않아 자료의 활용성이 낮고, 그 어느 사업도 전체 분모를 파악할 수 없는 단점이 있다. 이러한 문제들은 전산정보체계의 확립으로 해결할 수 있다. 약 99%의 분만이 의료기관에서 일어나고, 정부의 초고속 통신망을 비롯한 의료기관과 보건소의 전산화가 빠르게 진행되고 있어 전산정보체계를 위한 여건이 성숙되고 있다. 분만의료기관이 산모의 거주지 보건소로 직접 출생신고를 하면 보건소는 적기에 산모와 신생아에게 필요한 보건서비스를 제공할 수 있고, 보건소가 읍 면 동사무소로 출생신고 자료를 전송하면 산모는 동사무소에 가지 않고도 출생신고를 할 수 있으며, 보건통계자료수집과 출생신고관리에 필요한 인력과 시간을 절약할 수 있고, 정확한 생정통계를 얻을 수 있고, 예방접종기록과 미숙아 및 선천성기형아 등록은 쉽게 해결되고, 완전한 보건사업대상자의 database를 구축할 수 있어 평생건강관리체계의 기틀을 마련하게 된다. 이러한 전산신고체계를 확립하기 위하여 연자 등은 정부의 연구용역사업으로 전산프로그램과 표준신고양식과 신고체계를 개발하여, 포항과 천안시에서 2000년 3월에서 8월까지 시험 운영하였다. 시험운영결과 출생신고율은 99.9%이었으나 신생아사망의 전산신고율은 11.1%로 낮았다. 그러나 일단 출생신고된 신생아의 사망은 반드시 확인될 수 있는 것이 본 신고체계의 큰 장점이었다. 전산신고의 중요한 장애 요소는 현행법상 의료기관이 출생신고를 직접 할 의무가 없으므로 신고를 강요할 수 없고, 의료기관의 일손 부족으로 출생신고서를 충실하게 기재하지 못하는 것과 의료기관간의 전산화 수준의 차이가 심한 것이었다. 의료기관이 직접 신고를 하도록 하기 위하여 모자보건법 등 관련법 개정이 필요하며, 의료기관의 출생신고자료 송부에 대한 정당한 보상이 있어야 할 것이다. 의료기관 간의 전산화 수준의 차이는 data warehousing과 on-line analytical processing과 같은 기술을 이용하면 해결 가능할 것이다.

To measure the birth registration rate and the validity of birth registration data in rural area, all of the 4,014 married women under 49 years of age who had not been sterilized in Gunwee county of Kyungpook province were followed by Myun health workers for 2 years from April 1, 1985 to March 31, 1987 and 766 births were detected. All of the birth registration records of Myun offices were reviewed on September 30, 1987 and 944 births which occurred within the above mentioned period were found. Actual birth date obtained by follow-up study were compared with the birth date on registration card. Among 766 births detected by follow-up study,576 births(75.2%) which were reported within 6 months after birth were ascertained on the official registration records and 96 births(12.5%) were not found on the records although mother stated that the birth was registered. The registration rate within legal due date was 61.3% among 576 births detected by follow-up study and also ascertained on the official records. The registration rate within legal due date was lower in mothers under 20 years of age and above 35 years and in mothers who had only primary education. It was decreased as the birth order increased. The registration rate was higher in births occurred from October to March than births occurred from April to September. All of the births of 7 neonatal deaths were not reported. The registered birth date was consistent with the actual birth date in 78.0%. Birth date on record was earlier than the actual birth date in 6.8% and later in 15.3%. The consistency rate was lower in mothers above 35 years of age(54.5%), and in infants of 4th birth order and above(56.3%). The rate was increased as the maternal education level increased. The rate of boys was higher than that of girls. A higher percentage(17.4%) of infants born in March was registered with earlier date than the actual birth date and most of these registered birth dates were lunar calendar date. This might be related with the age for entering the primary school. The study findings revealed that the birth registration rate within legal due date and accuracy of report have been increased in recent years, but the infant mortality rate derived from the birth registration seems to be very inaccurate. It is suggested to let the medical personnel who delivered the baby report the birth by mail directly to the current address of parent while infants delivered at home without professional attendant may comply with the present registration system.

Purpose: Feeding desaturation is a common problem among preterm infants which can result in prolonged hospital stays, longterm feeding difficulties and growth delay. The purpose of this study was to identify the characteristics of premature infants with feeding desaturation and to examine the effect of orocutaneous stimulation on oral feeding. Methods: During the first phase of this study, 125 extremely low birth weight infants were reviewed retrospectively. Characteristics between infants with feeding desaturation (n=34) and those without feeding desaturation (n=91) were examined. During the second phase, 29 infants recruited from March, 2009 to May, 2010 were subjected to orocutaneous stimulation. The results of orocutaneous stimulation were compared to a control group (n=81). Results: The first phase of the study revealed that extremely low birth weight infants with feeding desaturation were significantly lower in gestational ages at birth, and had lower 5 minute apgar scores, more gastroesophageal refluxes and bronchopulmonary dysplasia. Infants without feeding desaturation reached full enteral feeding significantly earlier and showed shorter duration of hospital stay. At the second phase, infants in the intervention group showed shorter days to achieve initiation of bottle feeding, shorter days in achievement of full bottle feeding, last episodes of feeding desaturation and length of hospital stay compared to the control group of similar characteristics. Conclusion: Orocutaneous stimulation among extremely low birth weight infants results in earlier achievement of full bottle feedings without episodes of feeding desaturation hence shortens the length of hospital stay.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the trend of the number of births in Gwangju and the number of outpatients in Pediatric Dentistry at Chonnam National University Dental Hospital over the past 10 years (2010 - 2019) and predict the next year using time series analysis. The number of births showed an unstable downward trend with monthly variations, with the highest in January and the lowest in December. The average number of births in 2020 was predicted to be 682 (595 to 782, 95% CI), and the actual number of births was an average of 610. The number of outpatients was relatively stable, showing a month-to-month variation, with highest in August and the lowest in June. The average number of patients in 2020 was predicted to be 603 (505 to 701, 95% CI), and the average number of actual visits was 587. Despite the decrease in the number of births, the number of outpatients was expected to increase somewhat. Due to the special situation of COVID-19, the actual number of births and patients was to be slightly lower than the predicted values, but it was that they were within the predicted confidence interval. Time series analysis can be used as a basic tool to prepare for the low fertility era in the field of pediatric dentistry.

Purpose : A universal standard of the birth weight for gestational age cannot be made since birth weight distribution varies with races, nations and eras. This report aims to establish the birth weight for gestational age patterns by sex, plurality, and parity, specific for Korean live births. Methods : The national birth certificate data of all live births in Korea from January 2000 to December 2004 were used: for live births with gestational age 24 weeks to 42 weeks (n=2,585,5160), mean birth weight, standard deviation and 10th, 25th, 75th and 90th percentile values were obtained for each gestational age group by one week increment. To establish final standard values of Korean birth weight distribution by gestational age, the finite mixture model to eliminated erroneous birth weights was used for respective gestational age. Same as above method the birth weight for gestational age standard by sex, plurality, and parity were completed. Results : The male newborns are more heavier than female during the entire gestational age. The singletons are more heavier than twin during the entire gestational age. The para 2 are more heavier than the para 1 during the entire gestational age. Korean standard was more heavier in 10th and 50th percentile than Lubchenco's standard. Alexander's standard was more heavier in 50th and 90th percentile than Korean standard. Conclusion : These birth weight for gestational age patterns by sex, plurality, and parity are similar to the other standards. I hope that for Korean infants, this curve will help clinicians in defining and managing the large for gestational age infants and also for infants with intrauterine growth retardation.

Korea has been widely recognized as the most successful country for reversal of the rise in sex ratio at birth (from the mid-1980s to the mid-1990s) in a short period of time. However, unusually high sex ratios at birth are still observed in most regions as parity increases. Given that imbalanced sex ratios at high birth orders are mostly due to son-selective abortion, it still remains questionable whether son-selective reproductive behavior has vanished in Korea. The main purpose of this study is to analyze the pattern of changing trends and socioeconomic differentials in sex ratio at birth. Micro-data from birth registration for 2009 are utilized. Attention is focused on analyzing sex ratios at birth in Youngnam region according to age of mother, parity, educational attainment of parents, and occupation of parents. A series of simulations are also conducted in this paper to show how prenatal sex screening and son-selective abortion have affected the level of sex ratio at birth for years 1994, 2005 and 2009.

Purpose:This study compares the maternal characteristics and birth outcomes of infants of Asian immigrant mothers from developing countries with those of the infants of Korean mothers. Methods:In this multicenter and retrospective study, Asian immigrant women who had delivered between January 2005 and June 2008 were enrolled from9 Medical Centers. In all, 333 births to Asian immigrant women from developing countries (Asian-Korean infants) were included in this study. In addition, sex-, birth year-, and gestational age-matched 333 neonates born to Korean mothers were selected as the control group (Korean infants). On the basis of the hospital data, we investigated the nationality, age, and medical history of the mothers and compared the incidence of congenital infection, Apgar score, weight, height, and head circumference of Asian-Korean infants with those of the Korean infants. Results:The average maternal age of Asian women from developing countries at birth term was 26.7 years, which was significantly lower than that of Korean women (30.8 years, P<0.05). The birth weight of Asian-Korean infants (2,869 g) was significantly smaller than that of Korean infants (2,995 g, P<0.05). There was a significant difference in the incidence of congenital syphilis infection between the Asian-Korean infants and Korean infants (5 cases vs. 0 case, P<0.05). Conclusion:There were significant differences in the perinatal outcomes between the Korean and Asian-Korean infants. A multicenter large-scaled study should be performed to analyze the perinatal outcomes of Asian-Korean infants.
