The objectives of this research are 1) to identify different motivation of choice for each National University hospitals 2) to examine the factors influencing the patients' satisfaction, 3) and to investigate that the patients' satisfaction effects the hospital re-choice and recommendation on seven National University's hospitals. The data for this analysis were collected by questionnaire survey. Totally 852 interviews were conducted. The major statistical methods used for the analysis are paired t-test, factor analysis, x2-test, and multiple regression. We find that satisfaction level is a function of not only the quality of medical service but also non-medical service. The main results of research are follows: 1) The most important factor of hospital choices is 'the trust and fame as National University hospitals'; 2) Overall satisfaction of inpatients is turned to be influenced by the doctor's services, nurse's services, environment, and convenience. And overall satisfaction of outpatients is also found to be influenced by the waiting time for lab test; 3) Highly satisfied patients preferred to revisit and to recommend to others.

Nowadays, Electronic Medical Record (EMR) has just implemented at few hospitals for Outpatient Department (OPD). OPD is the diversified data, it includes demographic and diseases of patient, so it need to be clustered in order to explore the hidden rules and the relationship of data types of patient's information. In this paper, we propose a novel approach for unsupervised clustering of patient's demographic and diseases in OPD. Firstly, we collect data from a hospital at OPD. Then, we preprocess and transform data by using powerful techniques such as standardization, label encoder, and categorical encoder. After obtaining transformed data, we use some strong experiments, techniques, and evaluation to select the best number of clusters and best clustering algorithm. In addition, we use some tests and measurements to analyze and evaluate cluster tendency, models, and algorithms. Finally, we obtain the results to analyze and discover new knowledge, meanings, and rules. Clusters that are found out in this research provide knowledge to medical managers and doctors. From these information, they can improve the patient management methods, patient arrangement methods, and doctor's ability. In addition, it is a reference for medical data scientist to mine OPD dataset.

Background Several attempts have been made to accurately diagnose the Sasnag Constitution. One of these attempts is to use a questionnaire. Questionnaire for the Sasang Constitution Classification(QSCC) has been revised several times and now used as QSCC II+. This study was designed to improve the accuracy of the revised Questionnaire for the Sasang Constitution Classification(QSCC II+). Method 1,054 people were gathered for this study and analyzed to check discrimination ability of current discriminant function of QSCC II+. They were outpatients who visited the hospital and the constitution was confirmed by the specialist of Sasang Constitutional Medicine. Results Accuracy of QSCC II+ at Soeumin was improved from 74.9% to 79.3%, and there were no significant difference at Soyangin and Taeumin. Conclusion New discriminant function was constructed through discriminant analysis. And the accuracy of QSCC II+ was generally improved, especially in Soeumin.

목적 : 본 연구는 로봇보조 치료가 뇌졸중 환자의 상지기능에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 하였다. 연구방법 : 뇌졸중 편마비 환자를 대상으로 발병 12개월 이내의 입원 환자 4명과 발병 12개월 이후의 외래환자 7명에게 각각 5~6주간 로봇보조 치료를 실시하였다. 로봇보조 치료는 상지기능 훈련을 위한 다양한 운동프로그램을 가지고 있는데, 그 중 앞으로 팔 뻗기 훈련을 통해 환자의 능력에 적합한 운동모드를 치료사가 선택하여 이루어졌다. 환자는 30분간 3차원의 피드백을 제공하는 모니터를 바라보며 앞으로 팔뻗기 운동을 반복적으로 수행하였다. 대상자들의 상지기능 변화를 위해 장악력 검사(Grip strength test), 한글판 울프운동기능검사(Korean-Wolf Motor Function Test: K-WMFT), 상자와 나무토막검사(Box & Block Test: BBT)와 팔 뻗기 수행시간을 중재 전 후에 측정하였다. 결과 : 로봇보조 치료를 통한 상지기능의 변화를 살펴보기 위해 중재 전 후의 측정값의 변화량을 비교하여 살펴본 결과, 연구 대상자 모두에서 결과값의 향상을 보였다. 통계적인 유의성을 확인하기 위해 윌콕슨 부호 순위 검증을 실시한 결과, 외래환자의 장악력과 상지기능, 기민성, 수행시간에서 유의한 차이를 보였고(p<0.05), 입원 환자의 경우에는 통계학적으로 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다(p>0.05). 결론 : 로봇보조 치료가 뇌졸중 환자의 상지기능 회복에 긍정적인 영향을 주는 것을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 향후 본 연구를 기초로 작업치료 영역에서도 로봇보조 치료를 통한 중재적 접근이 필요할 것으로 생각되며, 뇌졸중 환자의 기능회복을 위한 로봇보조 치료의 유용한 사용이 기대된다.

Objectives This study aims to provide directions for future Korean pediatric medicine treatment and researches by analyzing the characteristics of diseases of Korean pediatric outpatients before and after the COVID-19 epidemic. Methods We analyzed the medical records of 10,868 new patients aged 0-18 who visited the Korean pediatrics at Kyung Hee university hospital from January 1, 2019 to June 30, 2021. All patients were divided into 2 groups; patients who visited from January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2019, before the coronavirus epidemic, and patients who visited from January 1, 2020 to June 30, 2021, after the coronavirus epidemic. Within the two groups, the diagnosis distribution was performed for the entire population, by gender and by age group. Diagnoses were classified as allergy, growth, gastrointestinal, respiratory, general body supplementation, neuropsychiatric, skin, urogenital, musculoskeletal, and other systems. Results According to the comparative analysis results of before and after the COVID epidemic, there was a decreasing trend of diagnoses in relates to allergy, respiratory, urogenital, musculoskeletal system. On the other side, there was an increasing trend in gastrointestinal, general body supplementation, growth, neuropsychiatric, skin and other system. Changes in diagnosis based on gender and age group will be described below. Conclusions This study analyzed the characteristics of diseases of Korean pediatric outpatients before and after the COVID-19 epidemic, and suggested the direction of future Korean medicine treatment and researches for pediatrics. Also, this study aimed to propose proper treatments for children by showing the role of Korean pediatric medicine related to growth and development of children during the epidemic. However, this study has limitations such as failure to track the long-term impact of COVID-19. Thus, long term follow-up studies are needed to show the effect of COVID-19 on Korean pediatric medicine.

Methods : We analyzed medical records of new outpatients who visited department of dermatology at Kyung Hee university Korean medicine hospital between January 1, 2018 and December 31, 2022. We analyzed the patient demographic characteristics and the frequency of diagnosed diseases. Then we compared these results with previous studies in 2000, 2007 and 2016. Results : 1. Average number of patients and proportion of male patients have increased from 1996 to 2022. 2. From 1996 to 2022, there was a decrease in the proportion of patients aged 0-39 and an increase in the proportion of patients aged over 40. 3. The distribution proportions of eczema, atopic dermatitis, and rosacea during 2018-2022 have increased compared to those during 2011-2015. 4. The distribution of diseases according to age appears to vary based on the epidemiological characteristics of the diseases. 5. The distribution of diseases according to gender also appears to vary based on the epidemiological characteristics of the diseases, as well as cosmetic issues related to the affected areas. Conclusions : Considering the sustained trend of a high proportion of non-infectious inflammatory diseases since 1996, it is important to enhance treatment capacity through continuous research.

이 연구의 목적은 시계열 분석을 통하여 최근 10년(2010 - 2019)간의 광주광역시 출생아 수 추이와 전남대학교 치과병원 소아치과 내원 환자 수 추이를 분석하고 향후 1년을 예측하는 것이다. 출생아 수는 월별 반복과정을 보이면서 비안정적으로 하락하는 추세를 보였으며 1월에 출생아 수가 가장 많고 12월에 가장 적은 경향을 보였다. 2020년의 출생아 수가 평균 682명(595 - 782명, 95% CI)으로 예측되었으며 실제 출생아 수는 평균 610명이었다. 소아치과 내원 환자 수는 월별 반복과정을 보이면서 비교적 안정되어 있으며 8월에 내원 환자 수가 가장 많고 6월에 가장 적은 경향을 보였다. 2020년의 내원 환자 수가 평균 603명(505 - 701명, 95% CI)으로 예측되었으며 실제 내원 환자 수의 평균은 587명이었다. 출생아 수의 기록적인 감소에도 불구하고 소아치과에 내원한 환자의 수는 다소 증가할 것으로 예측되었다. COVID-19이라는 특수한 상황으로 인하여 실제 출생아 수와 내원 환자수가 예측치보다 다소 낮게 확인되었으나 예측 범위 내에 포함됨을 확인하였다. 시계열 분석 모형은 과거를 이해하고 미래를 예측하는 유용한 방법으로 소아치과 영역에서 저출산 시대를 대비하기 위한 기초 도구로써 유용하게 활용될 수 있을 것이다.
