Purpose: This study utilizes the NEDIS (National Emergency Department Information System) database to suggest a predictive model for snakebite and envenomation in Korea by analyzing the geographical distribution and seasonal variation of snakebite patients visiting the ER. Methods: This was a retrospective study on snakebite patients visiting the ER using the NEDIS database from January 2014 to December 2019. The subjects include patients with the KCD (Korea Standard Classification of Disease) disease code T63.0 (Toxic effect of contact with snake venom). Geographical location, patient gender, patient age, date of ER visit, treatment during the ER stay, and disposition were recorded to analyze the geographical distribution and seasonal variation of snakebite patients in Korea. Results: A total of 12,521 patients were evaluated in this study (7,170 males, 54.9%; 5,351 females, 40.9%). The average age was 58.5±17.5 years. In all, 7,644 patients were admitted with an average admission time of 5.04±4.7 days, and 2 patients expired while admitted. The geographical distribution was Gyeongsang 3,370 (26.9%), Cheonra 2,692 (21.5%), Chungcheong 2,667 (21.3%), Seoul Capital area 1,999 (16.0%), Kangwon 1,457 (11.6%), and Jeju 336 (2.7%). The seasonal variation showed insignificant incidences in winter and higher severity in spring and summer than in fall: winter 27 (0.2%), spring 2,268 (18.1%), summer 6,847 (54.7%), and fall 3,380 (27.0%). Conclusion: Patients presenting with snakebites and envenomation in the emergency room were most common in the Gyeongsang area and during summer. The simple seasonal model predicted that 436 snakebites and 438 envenomation cases occurred in July and August. The results of this study can be applied to suitably distribute and stock antivenom. Appropriate policies can be formed to care for snakebite patients in Korea.

배경 및 목적: 우리나라에서는 위암 검진을 수행하고 있으며, 조기위암의 비중이 증가되고 있으나, 위암 검진 지침에 따른 구체적인 효과에 대해서는 많은 보고는 없다. 이에 최근 위암 검진의 현황과 조기위암과 진행성 위암의 년도별 발생률 변화의 추이 등 여러 검진관련 자료 분석을 통한 국가 위암 검진의 효과에 대하여 알아보고자 본 연구를 진행하였다. 방법: 본 연구는 2009년부터 2015년까지 위암, 조기위암, 진행성 위암 그리고 그 외로 청구된 이력들을 조사하였다. KCD-6 코드가 2011년부터 적용되었으며, 질병청구 시 상병 코드가 KCD-6로 개정되면서 위암을 조기위암과 진행성 위암으로 코드를 세분화하였다. 국가건강검진에서 40세 이상 대상자에 대해 2년에 한 번씩 시행되는 위암 검사에 대한 효율성 평가를 위해 위암으로 등록되기 이전에 검진 경험 유, 무에 대한 분석을 진행하였으며 또한 위암 검진의 효과에 대해 성별로 구분지어 분석하였다. 결과: 2009-2015년 위암으로 등록된 환자 중 이전에 위암 검진 경험이 있었던 대상자가 전체 위암 대상자 중 74%로 검진 무경험자에 비해 월등히 높았다. 그 중 검진 이후 1년 이내에 위암으로 진단된 사람이 28.8%, 2년 이내 15.5%를 차지하였다. 암 진단 당시에 위암 진행 정도를 확인해 본 결과 검진 이후 1년 이내 발생한 경우, 조기위암은 21.1%, 진행성 위암 14.6% 로 나타났고, 검진 이후 2년 이내 조기위암은 31.5%, 진행성 위암 17.5%로 나타났다. 검진 무경험자들의 암 유형별 발생 현황을 보면 같은 기간 검진 경험자에 비해 조기위암은 15.1%, 진행성 위암은 25.3%로 진행성 위암의 비율이 높았다. 성별에 따른 분석 결과, 남자의 경우 검진을 통해 암 발생을 확인한 경우가 76% 여자의 경우 암 발생을 확인한 경우가 70.2%로 나타났다. 남녀 모두에서 검진 경험자가 검진 무경험자에 비해 조기위암으로 진단되는 비율이 높았다. 결론: 최근 위암 국가검진 자료가 포함된 이번 분석을 통하여 위암 검진의 병기 이전 효과를 확인할 수 있었다. 그러나 2년 이내 위암 검진 음성인 군에서 양성으로 진단된 환자가 상대적으로 적지 않았다. 따라서 위암 검진의 효과와 위해를 평가하고, 위암 검진의 질을 향상시키기 위한 더 많은 관련 연구가 필요하다.

Objective : The aim of this study was to survey the present utilization of pattern identification(PI) in the clinical field among Korean Medicine Doctors. Method : This survey was conducted from Oct. 1 to Oct. 31, 2014 by face-to-face interview using structured questionnaire. The subjects were 400 korean medicine doctors who worked in hospitals or clinics. The questionnaire consisted of two sections - a demographics section(i.e., sex, age, clinical experience, place of work, residence and so on) and the main research section(i.e., the PI utilization rate, the utilization of PI systems, the utilization of PI in the clinical domain and in the treatment domain, the correlation between utilization PI and so on). Results : This study revealed that subjects used the PI to 66.7% of their patients on average. The utilization rate of PI in patients was significantly higher for female physicians than for male physicians, for physicians worked in clinics than for physicians who worked in hospitals and for physicians with more than 10 years clinical experience than for physicians with less than 10 years clinical experience. In the utilization of PI systems, Visceral PI was most as 92.0%. There were significant difference on the PI utilization rate according to utilization of Meridian and Collateral PI, Triple Energizer PI, Defense, Qi, Nutrient and Blood PI, Six-Meridian PI and Six Excesses PI. As a result of analysing the PI utilization rate by clinical domain and in the treatment domain, the Treatment and the Drug Treatment showed the highest values. Among utilized PI systems, the correlation coefficients between Defense, Qi, Nutrient and Blood PI and Triple Energizer PI showed the highest value, but the correlation coefficients between Sasang Constitutional Medicine with the each PI showed substantially lower value. Conclusion : The results of this study demonstrate that usage of PI was higher than usage of U code(in KCD) usage in clinical field. we suggested that additional studies on using PI and developing more appropriate standardized tool should be conducted to widen scope of PI's utilization.

Objectives : While neck pain is highly prevalent in Korea, studies examining its Korean medical treatment are currently lacking. The aim of this study was to assess current Korean medical treatment practice patterns for neck pain. Methods : A preliminary questionnaire was developed to investigate current practice patterns of neck pain and cervical intervertebral disc displacement (IDD) treatment, and underwent further revision through external review. The final questionnaire was distributed as a web-based survey to 18,289 potential respondents by email. Results : The response rate was 3.34 %. Most participants replied that they received multiple Korean medicine interventions for neck pain treatment consisting of such methods as acupuncture, wet cupping, interferential current therapy and electroacupuncture. A total of 378 respondents acknowledged that diagnostic testing was needed for neck pain treatment. The most commonly used Korean Standard Classification of Diseases (KCD) principal diagnosis code for neck pain was M542, and for cervical IDD was M501. Conclusion : This survey study helps determine current practice patterns of neck pain, and recognizes the need for use of diagnostic devices in neck pain treatment. These results are further anticipated to provide basic data for clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) and future studies using Korean National Health Insurance and Health Insurance Review & Assessment Service data.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to apply association rule mining to explore the labyrinthine network of cerebral infarction comorbidity and basic data supply to develop cutting-edge physical therapy protocols for cerebral infarction with comorbidity Methods: From clinic records of enrollees of A Hospital in D city, patients over 18 years of age with cerebral infarction and cerebral infarction comorbidity were recruited as a case group. All diagnoses of that hospital were categorized according to the "International Classification of Disease (ICD)" diagnosis system. We extracted code I63 from the "Korea Classification of Disease (KCD)-4". Associated rule mining was done with a priori modeling and Web nodes to examine the strengths of associations among those diagnoses. The support and confidence values of associated rule mining results were examined. Results: The subjects of this study were 2,267 cerebral infarction patients. E11 (Non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus), E78 (Disorders of lipoprotein metabolism and other lipidaemias), G81 (Hemiplegia), I10 (Essential hypertension), and K29 (Gastritis and duodenitis) were high frequency diagnoses, being found in 10% or more of total diagnoses of cerebral infarction from frequency analysis results. The highest frequency diagnosis was 1,042 (46.0%) for I10. The second most frequent diagnosis was for E11(21.5%) while the third most frequent diagnosis was E78 (20.2%). Results from a priori modeling and Web nodes indicated that cerebral infarction has a strong association withessential hypertension, non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, disorders of lipoprotein metabolism and other lipidaemias. Conclusion: Cerebral infarction is associated with hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and disorders of lipoprotein metabolism and other lipidaemias. The result of this study will be helpful to clinicians treating patients with cerebral infarction.

본 연구는 HIV병 사망자 중 HIV병과 결핵이 동반사망한 분율을 조사하고 그 관련 요인을 분석하였다. 2002년부터 2010년까지 사이에 HIV병 사망자는 모두 774명으로 결핵이 동반사망한 분율은 10.1%로 나타났다. 그런데 이러한 분율은 2005년부터 2007년 사이에 16.3%까지 치솟았지만 2008년부터 2010년 사이에는 4%까지 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 또한 HIV-결핵 동반사망 분율은 젊은 계층에서 더 높았고 배우자가 있는 그룹과 교육을 잘 받은 그룹에서는 유의하게 낮은 경향을 보였다. 이처럼 활동성이 높은 젊은층에서 HIV-결핵 동반사망 분율이 높고 사회경제적 안정계층에서 HIV-결핵 동반사망 분율이 낮은 것은 비슷한 해외 연구에서도 유사하게 나타나고 있어 HIV-결핵 동반사망의 예방 가능성을 시사한다. 한국은 다행히 점차 HIV-결핵 동반사망 분율이 낮아지고 있어 HIV감염자에 대한 결핵 예방사업의 효과가 나타나고 있음을 시사하고 이후 이러한 지표의 지속적인 모니터링이 필요함을 보여주고 있다.

손상부담은 우리사회에서 매우 심각한 것으로 널리 인식되고 있다. 그럼에도 불구하고 손상감시에 필요한 데이터가 충분하지 않다. 이 연구의 목적은 손상감시를 위해 핵심 데이터를 선택하고 보완하는 것이다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 통계품질 6가지 차원에 따라 '사망원인통계', '건강보험통계', '퇴원손상조사'에 대한 품질평가보고서 등의 문헌을 분석 하였다. 분석결과는 '사망원인통계'와 '건강보험통계'가 손상감시를 위한 핵심데이터로서 유용성이 있다는 것이다. 그러나 '건강보험통계'에는 손상외인에 대한 데이터가 부족하다는 단점이 있다. 단점을 보완하기 위해, 본 연구에서는 국민건강보험 의료비 청구 시 의료기관이 손상외인을 의무적으로 신고하도록 하는 제도를 제안한다. 이 제도의 결과로서 우리는 '손상 피라미드 구축', '국민연금과의 데이터 연계', '손상 데이터의 시의성 향상'을 기대할 수 있다. 그리고 이 제도 실현을 위한 후속 연구를 기대한다.
