목 적 : 폐렴은 응급센터에 내원하는 소아 호흡기 질환 중 흔히 볼 수 있는 질환이지만 응급센터에서 진료 및 입원과 퇴원을 결정하는데 기준이 되는 표준 진료 지침이 구축되어 있지 않다. 이것을 위한 응급센터에 내원한 소아 폐렴에 대한 기초 자료가 충분하지 못한 상황이므로 저자들은 일개 삼차 의료기관 응급센터에 내원한 소아 폐렴 환자의 분석을 통해 기초 역학 조사와 함께 입원 및 퇴원에 대해 임상적 차이점과 진료 지침을 알아보고자 하였다. 방 법 : 2003년 1월부터 2003년 12월까지 일개 삼차병원 응급센터를 내원 후 폐렴으로 진단받았던 1개월 이상 15세 미만의 소아 304명을 대상으로 후향적으로 분석하였다. 두 군의 기초 역학 자료로 연령과 성별을 비교하였고, 입원군과 퇴원군에서 임상 증상, 신체 검사 소견, 내원 전 다른 병원 진료 여부, 응급센터 내원 전 증상 지속 기간, 혈액 검사 및 흉부 방사선 촬영 결과, 외래 추적 관찰 여부 등을 비교하였다. 결 과 : 응급센터에 내원한 소아 폐렴 환자의 1년간의 연구에서 남아 168명(55.3%), 여아 136명(44.7%)으로 남녀비는 1.24 : 1이었다. 입원군은 247명(81.3%)이었고 퇴원군은 57명(18.7%)이었다. 연령은 입원군과 퇴원군에서 각각 2-5세 연령대가 많았고(입원군 37.2%, 퇴원군 52.6%) 두 군 모두 겨울철에 많이 내원하였다. 입원 적응의 기준으로는 3개월 미만, 열, 급성 병색을 보이는 경우, 빈호흡 및 수포음 청진 소견과 백혈구 수 증가 등 이 두 군에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다. 방사선 소견은 입원 결정에 도움을 주지 못했으나 입원 기간에는 영향을 주었고, 입원군에서 퇴원군보다 외래 추적 관찰이 잘 되었다. 결 론 : 국내 실정에 맞는 응급센터 소아 폐렴 표준 진료 지침의 완성이 필요하며 이를 위해 소아 폐렴 기초 자료의 구축이 필요할 것으로 생각된다. 저자들은 추후 관련된 임상과들 및 타 병원 응급센터와 연계한 전향적인 연구를 통해 소아 폐렴의 기초 자료를 수집하고 이를 이용한 진료 및 치료, 추적 관찰에 도움을 주는 표준 지침을 연구하고자 한다.

본 연구는 2013년 7월부터 대학병원에서도 시작되는 산부인과 포괄수가제를 대비하여 일개 대학병원 산부인과에서 2012년 4월부터 2012년 9월까지 6개월 동안 산부인과 DRG에 속한 건강보험 환자군을 대상으로 진료행태의 변화를 모의실험을 통해 재원일수의 변화 가능성, 의료 서비스 제공량의 전이와 변화, 항생제를 포함한 약 주사 사용 및 각종 검사 등 항목별 처방량의 변화, 진료재료의 단가 조정 및 대체 효과의 가능성을 예측하였다. 약제비가 가장 변화폭을 보였으며 진료재료와 검사의 변화가 그 뒤를 이었다. 의료 서비스량 분석에서 재원일수의 단축은 의료비용의 감소로 혹은 병원의 수익성을 증가시킬 수 있는 요인으로 판단된다. 이러한 결과로 향후 산부인과에서 DRG 질병군에 대한 표준진료지침 개발에 기초 자료로 사용할 수 있을 것으로 사료되며, 진료의 효율성을 극대화시키고 비효율적인 병원자원 소모를 감소시켜 의료비용 절감 등 의료수익을 최대한 증대시키는 경영전략수립의 기초 자료 토대 마련이 가능할 것으로 사료된다.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to identify demographic, clinical, physical, and psychosocial factors affecting discharge delay in lumbar spinal surgery patients who were treated according to a critical pathway. Methods: A sample of 170 patients with lumbar spinal surgery agreed to participate in the study, between April 1, 2014 and August 30, 2015. Data were analyzed by mean, standard deviation, t-test, ${\chi}^2$-test, ANCOVA, and logistic regression analysis using SPSS 22.0 program. Results: Approximately fifty-nine percent of the participants was delayed discharge. On logistic regression analysis, female gender (OR=2.63, 95% CI=1.40~4.94), age (OR=1.03, 95% CI=1.01~1.05), spondylolisthesis (OR=4.49, 95% CI=1.90~10.61), and spinal fusion operation (OR=4.14, 95% CI=1.89~9.05) were significant factors predicting discharge delay of the participants. However, discharge delay was not related with pain, physical function, depression, or family support. Conclusion: An analysis of discharge delay may assist in evaluating and revising critical pathway for optimal care. In addition, nurses need to understand the factors affecting discharge delay of the given population who were treated according to a critical pathway.

Purpose: To investigate the effectiveness and variance of a critical pathway (CP) for laparoscopic colon resection in colon cancer patients, and nurses'satisfaction with the CP. Methods: A CP for laparoscopic colon resection was applied to the CP-group that included 50 patients, who underwent elective colon resection between March and May, 2011. The non-CP group included 51 patients who had the same operation without the CP applied from March to May, 2010. Results: The means of length of hospital stay were 11.7 and 7.3 days (p<.001) and the lengths of postoperative hospital stay were 8.6 and 5.1 days (p<.001) in the non-CP group and CP group, respectively. There was no significant difference between two groups for total healthcare costs, pain score, complications, or emergency room visits within 30 days after discharge. By examining variances of the CP, there were 162 variances and the most frequent cause was patient's condition. Nurses'satisfaction with the use of CP was favorable and the mean score of satisfaction was 3.76 on the 5 point Likert scale. Conclusion: There are clear benefits to use of CP, resulting in standardized and effective patient care. In conclusion, analysis of variance data can assist in evaluating and revising CP for optimal care and reducing variances.

Objectives: This study aims to analyze the medical record of eight cases of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in a local Korean medicine clinic, in order to provide evidence on Korean medicine treatment of PCOS and to suggest the direction of future studies. Methods: The medical records of eight cases diagnosed with PCOS based on 2003 Rotterdam Criteria and whose total testosterone level was 0.53 ng/ml and over were retrospectively analyzed. The primary outcome was total testosterone level, and the secondary outcomes included luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) levels, LH/FSH ratio, weight, last mentrual period (LMP), numerical rating scale (NRS) score of dysmenorrhea, and other associated symptoms pre- and post-treatment. Korean medicine treatment consists of the complex herbal prescription consisting of Yukmijihwang-tang, Baekho-tang, Daesiho-tang, and Gyejibokryeong-hwan, modified according to symptoms; acupuncture and electroacupuncture on 中脘 (CV12), 下脘 (CV10), 關元 (CV4), 石門 (CV5), 合谷 (LI4), 太衝 (LR3), 三陰交 (SP6), and 懸鍾 (GB39); and indirect moxibustion on 神闕 (CV8). Results: The average total testosterone level lowered statistically significantly after the treatment. The average FSH and LH levels lowered with insignificance, while the average LH/FSH ratio and weight lowered statistically significantly. During the treatment period of three to six months, every patient had the menstrual cycle shortened except for one case; and two cases with infertility problem succeeded in being pregnant. There was no adverse event. Conclusions: The Korean medicine treatment was found effective in treating PCOS, especially regarding hyperandrogenism, amenorrhea or oligomenorrhea, and infertility.

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.

Objective : The purpose of this study is to examine the treatment of allergic rhinitis introduced in the Chinese guideline, and to find out the direction of evidence-establishment and applicability in developing Korean Medicine clinical practice guideline for allergic rhinitis. Method : We studied Traditional Chinese Medicine treatment of allergic rhinitis introduced in the 2018 Chinese society of allergy guidelines for diagnosis and treatment of allergic rhinitis. The treatment are classified into three categories; herbal medicines, acupuncture and the others. And we compared this guidelines with other guidelines for how they differ in description of the database, evidence of level, and strength of recommendation. Results : Herbal medicines are presented based on syndrome differentiation. The basic acupoints for allergic rhinitis are introduced as follows; Fengchi(GB20), Yingxiang(LI20), Feishu(BL13) and Taiyuan(LU9). And in comparison with other guidelines for allergic rhinitis, the Chinese guideline showed lack of description in the database, evidence of level, and strength of recommendation, though they used evidence-based models. Conclusions : Clinical practice guideline projects are also underway in Korea for benefit expansion and improving quality of medical services. It is important to develop guidelines which should be evidence-based and reflect Korean medical environment.
