  • Purpose. 1) To identify the time taken from symptom onset to the arrival at the hospital (pre-hospital delay time) and time taken from the arrival at the hospital to the initiation of the major treatment (in-hospital delay time) 2) to examine whether rapid treatment results in lower mortality. 3) to examine whether the pre- and in-hospital delay time can independently predict in-hospital mortality. Methods. A retrospective study with 586 consecutive AMI patients was conducted. Results. Pre-hospital delay time was 5.25 (SD=10.36), and in-hospital delay time was 1.10 (SD=1.00) hours for the thrombolytic therapy and 50.24 (SD=121.18) hours for the percutaneous transluminal coronary angio-plasty (PTCA). In-hospital mortality was the highest when the patients were treated between 4 to 48 hours after symptom onset using PTCA (p=.02), and when treated between 30 minutes and one hour after hospital arrival using thrombolytics (p=.01). Using a hierarchical logistic regression model, the pre- and in-hospital delay times did not predict the in-hospital mortality. Conclusion. Pre- and in-hospital delay times need to be decreased to meet the desirable therapeutic time window. Thrombolytics should be given within 30 minutes after arrival at the hospital, and PTCA should be initiated within 4 hours after symptom onset to minimize in-hospital mortality of AMI patients.

  • Objectives The purpose of this study is to investigate traffic accident patients who were admitted to Korean and Western medicine hospital. Methods According to the medicine record from Dong-eui university, 908 traffic accident patients who were admitted to Korean medicine hospital and Western medicine hospital from 1st January 2011 to 31th July 2016 were analyzed. We classified the patients' sex, age, classification of diseases, hospitalization. Results 1. According to age and sex, the rate of male was 35.4%, and that of female was 64.6% in Korean medicine hospital. However, the rate of male was 46.6%, and that of female was 53.4% in Western medicine hospital. 2. According to admission procedures, the most patients (93.3%) went through out-patient department in Korean medicine hospital and 53.5% of patients went through emergency room in Western medicine hospital. 3. According to principal diagnosis, 'sprain and strain of neck level' was 65.4 percentage Korean medicine hospital and 'intracranial injury' was 63.2 percentage in Western medicine hospital. 4. There was no statistical significant in hospitalization periods between male and female in Korean medicine hospital. However, hospitalization periods of female were longer than that of male in Western medicine hospital. 5. There was no correlation between age and hospitalization period in both Korean and Western medicine hospital. 6. Average hospitalization period of Korean medicine hospital patients were shorter than that of Western medicine hospital patients. 7. According to automobile insurance review organization, hospitalization periods were not significantly different in both Korean and Western medicine hospital. Conclusions It is concluded that there is difference of characteristics between inpatients who were admitted to Korean and Western medicine hospital due to traffic accident.
