Purpose: The COVID-19 pandemic led to significant changes in the lifestyle patterns of children and affected the patterns of pediatric injuries. This study analyzed the changing patterns of pediatric injury overall and by age groups, based on the datasets before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: This study is based on the data of patients who presented with injuries at 23 hospital emergency departments participating in the Emergency Department-based Injury In-depth Surveillance (EDIIS) conducted by the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency. The surveillance data was categorized by injury mechanism, location, activity, and severity. We analyzed the injury patterns of pediatric patients aged 0 to 15 years. Subgroup analysis was conducted by age group in children aged 7 to 15 years, 1 to 6 years, and <1 year. Results: When comparing the COVID-19 pandemic period to the pre-COVID-19 period, the total number of pediatric patients with injuries decreased by 38.7%, while the proportions of in-home injuries (57.9% vs. 67.9%), and minor injuries (38.9% vs. 39.7%) increased. In the 7 to 15 years group, bicycle riding injuries (50.9% vs. 65.6%) and personal mobility device injuries (2.4% vs. 4.6%) increased. The 1 to 6 years group also showed an increase in bicycle accident injuries (15.8% vs. 22.4%). In the <1 year group, injuries from falls increased (44.5% vs. 49.9%). Self-harm injuries in the 7 to 15 years group also increased (1.6% vs. 2.8%). Conclusions: During the COVID-19 pandemic period, the overall number of pediatric injuries decreased, while injuries occurring at home and during indoor activities increased. Traffic accidents involving bicycles and personal mobility devices and self-harm injuries increased in the 7 to 15 years group. In the <1 year group, the incidence of falls increased. Medical and societal preparedness is needed so that we might anticipate these changes in the patterns of pediatric injuries during future infectious disease pandemics.

항공교통 수요 증가로 항공기의 운항이 증가하면서 항공기 동체와 조류가 충돌하는 조류 충돌 사고가 매년 증가하고 있다. 이에 각 공항에서는 조류 충돌 사고기록을 바탕으로 항공기에 피해를 줄 것으로 예상되는 조류 종을 파악하고 순위를 매겨 충돌 위험을 효과적으로 평가 및 관리할 수 있는 연구를 수행하고 있다. 본 연구는 김포, 김해 및 제주국제공항에서 2005년부터 2013년까지 수집된 통합운항정보시스템 (Integrated Flight Information Service, IFIS) 자료를 바탕으로 항공기에 피해를 줄 것으로 예측되는 조류 종을 파악하고, 단일 및 다중 매트릭스 모델 간 위험성 평가 결과를 비교 분석 및 고찰하기 위해 수행되었다. 단일 매트릭스 모델을 통한 평가 결과 김포국제공항 및 김해국제공항에서는 왜가리, 독수리 2종과 백로류, 기러기류, 오리류, 갈매기류, 비둘기류 및 까마귀류가, 제주국제공항에서는 독수리, 까치 2종과 기러기류, 오리류, 갈매기류, 비둘기류 및 까마귀류가 '매우 높음' 또는 '높음'으로 평가되었다. 다중 매트릭스 모델을 통한 평가 결과 김포국제공항에서는 왜가리, 독수리, 까치 3종과 백로류, 기러기류, 오리류, 도요류 및 비둘기류가, 김해국제공항에서는 왜가리, 독수리, 찌르레기, 까치 4종과 백로류, 기러기류, 오리류, 도요류 및 비둘기류가, 제주국제공항에서는 왜가리, 까치 2종과 오리류, 도요류, 비둘기류가 '매우 심각' 또는 '매우 높음'으로 평가되었다. 모델 간 예측 결과에 있어 김포국제공항과 김해국제공항은 차이가 없었으나, 제주국제공항은 유의한 차이가 있었다. 이는 김포와 김해국제공항은 모두 하천의 하류에 위치하고 있어 대형 수조류들이 주로 관찰된 것에 반해 제주국제공항은 바다와 도심에 가까이 위치하고 있어 몸무게가 작은 소형 조류들이 많이 관찰되었기 때문이다. 이러한 종들과의 충돌이 항공기 동체에 미치는 영향이 적어 모델 간의 공통된 변수의 영향은 적었고, 추가적인 변수에 의해 두 모델의 평가 결과 간 큰 차이가 발생한 것으로 판단된다.

The purpose of this study is to identify the needs which are perceived by one of the familiy members who have head injury parients by traffic accidents in the intensive care units. Subjects were 70 families members of head injury patients admitted to 2 general hospitals NICU located Pusan city, 1 general hospital NICU located Ulsan city from December 1. 1998 to February 28. 1999. For this study, 70 family members were interviewed with aid of a Likert scale which was developed by researcher for this study. For development of the survey instrument, literature review and open questionnaire technique with family members and the nurses working in NICU. The 50needs-items were classified into 7 groups according to the homogeneity of the items with the support of literature review. For the content validity, the instrument was reviewed by 1 nursing professor and the internal reliability of this instrument was Cronbach alpha=0.94 which is highly accepted. Data was analyzed by a SPSS computer program. Data analysis included frequency. percentage, mean, standard variance and t-test or ANOVA. The results were as followings : 1. The general characteristics of head injury patients shows that the male was 74.3%, the female was 25.7% and age distribution shows that the fifty-fifty nine years was 30%, the highest. Of religion the buddhism was the most, The diagnosis distribution shows that epidural hematoma was 32.9% and subdural hematoma was 24.3%. The mentalility distribution shows that semicoma was 31.4% and stupor was 31.4%. Hemiplegia was 42.9% 2. The general charaterisrics of the family needs of head injury patients shows that thirty-thirty nine years was 31.4%, the highest. sex distribution shows that the male was 20%, the female was 80%. Of religion the buddism was the most. 3. The family needs of head injury patients was $3.03{\pm}0.42$, needs for the information of a patient's condition was $3.65{\pm}0.48$, the highest. And needs for the information of care and treatment was $3.48{\pm}0.48$, needs to be supplied with comfortable facilities for family was $3.04{\pm}0.66$, needs to be participate in a patient's care was $2.90{\pm}0.55$, needs to be informed about the available resources was $2.83{\pm}0.59$, needs to be supported emotionally for family was $2.79{\pm}0.55$, needs for religious assistance was $2.51{\pm}0.85$. 4. Examining the family needs of head injury patients according to patient's characteristics, mentality, plegia degree and operation were shown be variables to make an effect on the needs for the head injury patients family. At all, according to severity of head. injury, the family needs of head injury patients was high. 5. Examining the family needs of head injury patients according to their general characteristics, we could know that religion, job. income were shown to be variables to make an effect on the family needs. Through the examination it can be seen that the characteristics of head injury patients and the family needs of head injury patients. In conclusion, the family needs of head injury patients was almost same the family needs of ICU patients. Therefore we must involve the family's care of head injury patients and we must provide exact and repeated explanation, education and support the family of head injury patients. As this study was resulted in selecting the families admitted to NICU of some general hospital, we couldn't stretch the result in our favor. Therefore, continuous studies are suggested.

1992년 1월 1일부터 1996년 12월 31일까지 본과에 입원하여 치료받은 환자중 추적이 가능한 관골 골절 환자 164명을 대상으로 후향적, 임상통계학적으로 비교 분석하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 관골 골절 환자의 연령 분포의 범위는 8세부터 78세까지로 평균연령은 35.6세였고, 성별 분포는 7:1로 남성에서 호발하였다. 월별로는 10월(14.0%)과 8월(11.6%)에 많았고 계절별로는 가을(31.1%), 여름(25.6%), 겨울(23.2%), 봄(20.1%)의 순이었다. 발생시각별 분포는 21~24시 (34.2%)와 1~4시 (21.3%)에 많았고, 원인별로는 교통사고(53.7%)가 가장 많은 분포를 보였다. 관골 골절의 분류에 따른 분포는 class IV(33.5%)와 class III(25.6%)가 많았고, 동반된 안면부 골절은 164명중 114명(69.5%)에서 147례가 발생하였으며, 그중 상악골 골절이 52.4%로 가장 많았다. 내원 방법은 응급실을 통해 내원한 경우가 72.3%, 외래를 통해 내원한 경우가 26.8%였으며, 타과와의 연관 손상이 있는 경우는 37.2%였다. 수상후 수술을 받을때까지 경과된 시간은 5 일 이내가 36.6%로 가장 많았으며, 접근방법으로는 구내절개법(57.1%)과 눈썹절개법(38.4%)이 많이 사용되었다. 술후 합병증으로는 안구 함몰증(7.3%), 안모 비대칭 (6.7%), 감각저하(6.1%), 복시 (2.4%) 등이 발생하였다. 이상의 결과에서 관골 골절시에는 골절의 정도와 동반 골절 및 연관 손상에 대한 정확한 진단과 치료가 필요하고 타과와의 유기적인 협조하에 적절한 처치를 해줌으로써 술후 합병증을 줄일 수 있으리라 사료된다.
