1997년 8월부터 2002년 5월까지 서울아산병원에 내원하여 췌관결석 진단을 받은 후, 내시경적 결석제거에 실패하고 ESWL을 시행받은 59명을 대상으로 하였다. 췌관 결석의 방사선학적 특징을 결석 수, 가장 큰 결석의 최대 직경 길이, 결석의 농도, 그리고 생긴 모양으로 분류하였다. 전체대상 59예 중 45예(76.3%)에서 결석의 완전한 제거가 확인되었으며 14예(23.7%)에서는 결석의 완전한 제거에는 실패한 것으로 확인되었다. 1. 단일 결석을 가진 28예 중 21예(75.0%)에서 결석이 완전 제거되었으며, 두 개 이상의 다결석을 가진 31예 중 24예(77.4%)에서 결석이 완전 제거되었다. 2. 결석의 최대 직경이 30m 이하의 경우인 53예 중 41예(77.4%)에서 결석의 완전한 제거가 확인되었으며, 30mm 보다 큰 경우인 6예 중 4예(66.7%)에서 결석의 완전한 제거가 확인되었다. 3. 척추의 체부(body)와 비교한 결석의 농도측면에서, 척추의 체부 보다 농도가 낮은 경우, 즉 비석회화 결석 8예 중 8예(100%) 모두에서 결석이 완전 제거되었으며, 농도가 같은 경우인 43예에서는 37예(86.0%)가 결석의 완전한 제거를 보였으나, 농도가 척추 체부 보다 높은 3예 중 3예(100%) 모두에서 결석의 완전한 제거에 실패하였으며, rim calcified stone 5예 중 5예(100%) 모두에서 또한 결석의 완전한 제거에 실패하였다. 4. 각이진 모양의 결석 9예 중 2예(22.2%)에서 결석이 완전 제거되었으며, 그렇지 않은 원형이나 타원형 모양의 경우인 50예 중 43예(86.0%)에서 결석의 완전한 제거를 확인하였다.

Objective : The period of mechanical ventilator (MV)-dependent respiratory failure after cervical spinal cord injury (CSCI) varies from patient to patient. This study aimed to identify predictors of MV at hospital discharge (MVDC) due to prolonged respiratory failure among patients with MV after CSCI. Methods : Two hundred forty-three patients with CSCI were admitted to our institution between May 2006 and April 2018. Their medical records and radiographic data were retrospectively reviewed. Level and completeness of injury were defined according to the American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) standards. Respiratory failure was defined as the requirement for definitive airway and assistance of MV. We also evaluated magnetic resonance imaging characteristics of the cervical spine. These characteristics included : maximum canal compromise (MCC); intramedullary hematoma or cord transection; and integrity of the disco-ligamentous complex for assessment of the Subaxial Cervical Spine Injury Classification (SLIC) scoring. The inclusion criteria were patients with CSCI who underwent decompression surgery within 48 hours after trauma with respiratory failure during hospital stay. Patients with Glasgow coma scale 12 or lower, major fatal trauma of vital organs, or stroke caused by vertebral artery injury were excluded from the study. Results : Out of 243 patients with CSCI, 30 required MV during their hospital stay, and 27 met the inclusion criteria. Among them, 48.1% (13/27) of patients had MVDC with greater than 30 days MV or death caused by aspiration pneumonia. In total, 51.9% (14/27) of patients could be weaned from MV during 30 days or less of hospital stay (MV days : MVDC 38.23±20.79 vs. MV weaning, 13.57±8.40; p<0.001). Vital signs at hospital arrival, smoking, the American Society of Anesthesiologists classification, Associated injury with Injury Severity Score, SLIC score, and length of cord edema did not differ between the MVDC and MV weaning groups. The ASIA impairment scale, level of injury within C3 to C6, and MCC significantly affected MVDC. The MCC significantly correlated with MVDC, and the optimal cutoff value was 51.40%, with 76.9% sensitivity and 78.6% specificity. In multivariate logistic regression analysis, MCC >51.4% was a significant risk factor for MVDC (odds ratio, 7.574; p=0.039). Conclusion : As a method of predicting which patients would be able to undergo weaning from MV early, the MCC is a valid factor. If the MCC exceeds 51.4%, prognosis of respiratory function becomes poor and the probability of MVDC is increased.
