  • 의학적 진단을 내리기 위해 시행되는 검사의 소요시간(turnaround time, TAT)은 환자대기시간과 직결되며 중요한 의료서비스 평가항목 중 하나이다. 본 연구에서는 주요 영상의학검사를 대상으로 TAT를 측정하고, 그 결과가 의료기관이 설정한 기준치를 달성하는지 여부를 분석하였다. 분류회귀나무 알고리즘을 이용한 예측 결과, "진료과", "상병", "검사종류", "실시월"이 적기처리 달성에 가장 큰 영향을 주는 요인으로 확인되었다. 본 연구는 의료서비스의 적기처리를 예측하는 모형을 통하여 의료서비스 지연을 사전에 조치할 수 있는 수단을 제공하였다는 데에 큰 의미가 있다.

  • 코로나 팬데믹 이후 컨테이너 터미널 내 혼잡도 증가에 따라 반출입 차량 작업 대기 및 체류시간이 급증하여 반출입 작업 비효율이 극심한 실정이다. 이에 항만 당국은 반출입예약시스템(Vehicle Booking System; VBS)을 구축하여 시범운영 중에 있으나 이해관계자 간 정보공유 문제 및 컨테이너 운송 주체의 미온적 참여 등으로 인해 개선효과가 뚜렷하지 않다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 반출입 차량의 작업 대기 및 체류시간 문제의 해결을 위한 기초자료로써, 딥러닝 기반의 반출입 차량 체류시간 예측 모형을 제시하였다. 실제 컨테이너 터미널의 반출입 운영 데이터를 통해 제시한 예측 모형을 실험하고 실제 데이터와 비교하여 예측 정확도를 검증한 결과 제시한 예측 모형이 높은 예측 정확도를 보이는 것을 확인하였다.

  • Test turnaround time (TAT) is the lead time from reception to reporting. In the complete blood cell count (CBC), 4 units of the XE-2100 (Sysmex Corp., Japan) processed around 80% of quantity, 1 unit of the LH-780 (Beckman-Coulter Incorp., USA) processed around 10% and 1 unit of ADVIA-2120 (Siemens AG, Munich, Germany) processed around 10%. We analyzed the change in the TAT for the CBC for over 7 years, from January of 2005 to December of 2011. The delta check made alterations of delta to WBC, hemoglobin, hematocrit, platelet and metamyelocyte, however, did not made them to band neutrophil, eosinophil, basophil and monocyte. The panic value check made alterations of panic value to hemoglobin, hematocrit, platelet and monocyte. In the criteria of currently slide review, LH-780 and ADVI-2120 analyzers prepared suspect flags of "Blast, Imm NE2, Immature granulocyte, Imm NE1, Left shift, Variant lymphocyte, Atypical lymphocyte, Platelet clumps and NRBC". The New slide review in the XE-2100 analyzer altered the preparations of a smear slide more than a "Platelet clumps flag(${\geq}200unit$), a single flag excluding the "Platelet clumps flag (${\geq}250unit$) and a multiple flag (${\geq}200unit$)". Also, below the 240 unit, medical technologists prepared manual slides selectively according to their evaluations. The automatic reporting rate was 33.4% without alterations, whereas it was 41.0% without alterations, and was thus improved by 7.6%. The slide review rate was 15.2% before using the Q-flag limit, whereas it was 12.1% for a reduce 3.1%. TAT was 45 minutes without the creation alterations of the delta and panic value checks, whereas it was 35 minutes after making alterations of the delta and panic value checks and thus was shortened by 10 minutes. We came to the conclusion that the establishment and operation of delta and panic value checks and slide review criteria suitable for laboratory environment can reduce unnecessary smear slides, re-checking, re-sampling, re-testing, telephone inquiries and concentrated workloads during specific times of the day.

  • Purpose The ASAN Medical Center, Nuclear Medicine performs TSH (Thyroid stimulating hormone) and FT4 (Free Thyroxine) tests 8 times per day. Accordingly, 70 ~ 80 kit tubes are consumed every day for the measurements and the time consumed for reagent dispensing averages over 170 seconds, where the TAT (turnaround time) may be effected when the number of test samples is larger than expected. Therefore, the following test was conducted with the purpose to reduce the number of kit tubes consumed, and reduce the time for reagent dispensing. Materials and Methods The test is based on applying the same reagent for tests where the number of samples is 30 or less. The test for TSH was conducted 9 times from July $1^{st}$ 2015 to July $10^{th}$ 2015. The test for FT4 was conducted 4 times from June $18^{th}$ 2015 to June $22^{nd}$, 2015. Standard Solution No.2 (0.153 uU/mL) and No.5 (4.96 uU/mL) was selected as the two-point standards for the TSH test, and Standard Solution No.3 (0.777 ng/dL) and No.4 (2.044 ng/dL) was selected as the two-point standards for the FT4 test. 38 test samples were subject to correlation analysis. Results For TSH, the result of the normal test shows ranges of 0.20 ~ 0.37 uU/mL for Control1, 0.53 ~ 0.71 uU/mL for Control2, and 6.77 ~ 7.94uU/mL for Control3, while the result of two-point calibration curve test shows ranges of 0.18 ~ 0.27 uU/mL for Control1, 0.53 ~ 0.71 uU/mL for Control2, and 7.30 ~ 8.52 uU/mL for Control3. For FT4, the result of the normal test shows ranges of 0.85 ~ 0.94 ng/dL for Control1 and 4.23 ~ 4.57 ng/dL for Control2, while the result of two-point calibration curve test shows ranges of 0.61 ~ 0.75 ng/dL for Control1 and 3.88 ~ 5.71 ng/dL for Control2. For TSH, the CV% of the normal test for Control1, Control2 and Control3 are 10.5, 3.3 and 3.6 respectively, while the CV% of the two-point calibration curve test for Control1 and Control1 are 12.4, 8.2 and 5.1 respectively. The result shows an outstanding correlation of TSH: y = 0.9985x - 0.0459 $R^2=0.9986$. For FT4, the CV% of the normal test for Control1 and Control2 are 0.70 and 0.71 respectively, while the CV% of the two-point calibration curve test for Control1 and Control1 are 8.7 and 16.2 respectively. The result shows an outstanding correlation of FT4: y = 1.2674x - 0.1133 $R^2=0.9824$. Conclusion The two-point calibration curve can be efficiently applied for TSH in cases where the number of test samples is not large, since the number of samples to be re-tested increases when the result is abnormal from the calibration curve. The two-point calibration curve test should not be applied for FT4 where the results do not consistently comply with the quality assessment range. Depending on how the two-point calibration curve is applied, up to 5 test tubes can be conserved per test, and the reduced time for reagent dispensing is anticipated to have a positive effect on the TAT (turnaround time).

  • The purpose of this study was to evaluate GDH & Toxin (GDT) tests for the identification of the presence of Clostridioides difficile (C. difficile) as well as to detect whether any toxin was present in the feces of patients suspected of diarrhea associated with C. difficile. Data related to the results of toxin and culture (TC) tests and GDT tests conducted on patients with diarrhea and suspected CDI between January 2017 and august 2018, positive test rates, patient ages and sexes, whether the patients were hospitalized, and turnaround time (TAT) were analyzed retrospectively. Of the 7,554 total tests conducted for CDI diagnosis, 1,010 TC tests (14.9%) were positive, while 92 GDT tests (12.0%) were positive. Of these positive cases, 815 (80.7%) identified through TC test and 80 (87%) identified through GDT test were inpatients. also, among the patients with positive test results, 497 (49.2%) diagnosed through TC test and 45 (48.9%) diagnosed through GDT test were aged 61 years or older. The total time required to complete a TC test was 83.6 hours, while the time required for a GDT test was 11.2 hours, equating to an approximately three-day difference between the two tests. The detection of toxin-producing C. difficile is important in CDI diagnosis, but the commonly used Enzymeimmunoassay (EIA) toxin tests with low sensitivity result in delayed CDI diagnosis time. Therefore, primary screening tests for CDI diagnosis using the GDT method and secondary tests using additional methods are considered most effective.

  • 유방 보존술 중 절제면 동결절편검사는 빠른 시간 내에 암세포의 유무를 판단하고 환자의 수술 범위 및 예후에 중요한 영향을 미친다. 그러나 유방조직의 특성상 많은 지방조직으로 구성되어 있고, 지방조직의 양에 따라 유방조직 동결절편검사의 정확도에 많은 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 유방 보존술에서 시행하는 절제면 동결절편검사에 새로운 방법을 적용하여 기존의 동결절편검사와 비교 분석하였다. 동결절편블록의 표면을 알코올로 닦아내면 지방조직이 순간적으로 용해되면서 실질조직이 표면으로 노출될 것이라 예상하였다. 실제로 총 98례 중 기존의 동결절편검사보다 개선된 동결절편검사에서 더 높은 실질조직 비율을 얻는 경우는 37례였다. 또한 개선된 동결절편검사에서 더 높은 실질조직 비율을 얻은 37례 중 이전의 동결절편검사에서는 음성으로 진단되었으나, 개선된 동결절편검사와 영구표본조직 슬라이드에서 관상피내암으로 진단이 나온 경우는 2례였다. 비록 turn around time (TAT) 등의 한계점이 존재하지만, 본 연구 결과의 적용에 대한 논의를 계속한다면 동결절편검사 시 조직학적 병리검사의 진단 정확성을 재고할 것이라고 사료되며, 환자 안전에도 직접적인 영향을 미칠 것이라고 판단된다.
