Abstract

Purpose: We analyzed the risk factors affecting readmission of children with pneumonia. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the medical records of pediatric patients admitted to the Department of Pediatrics at the Jeonju Presbyterian Medical Center from January 2007 to August 2016. We classified patients who were readmitted with pneumonia within 30 days of discharge as the readmission group and patients who were admitted with pneumonia for the first time as the first admission group. Results: Among 158 patients, the study (readmission) group included 82 patients and the control (first admission) group included 76 patients. Age, the percentage of segmented neutrophils and lymphocytes, the number of admissions in the last 12 months, the associated diseases (respiratory diseases such as asthma), and the affection of the right upper lung were analyzed as risk factors for readmission. However, based on a regression analysis, only age and associated diseases were found to be significant risk factors. The rate of readmission increased with younger age. When there were associated diseases, the rate of readmission also increased. Conclusions: Young age and associated diseases were significant risk factors for readmission for patients with pediatric pneumonia. When pediatric patients are admitted with pneumonia, if they are young and/or have associated diseases, a comprehensive approach is needed to reduce the rate of readmission with careful consideration of precise examination, treatment, timing of discharge, and follow-up.

목적: 본 연구에서는 소아 폐렴 환자에서 재입원의 분석을 통하여 이에 영향을 미치는 위험인자를 알아보고자 하였다. 방법: 2007년 1월부터 2016년 8월까지 전주예수병원 소아청소년과에 폐렴으로 입원한 소아를 대상으로, 퇴원 후 30일 이내에 폐렴으로 재입원한 환자(재입원군)와 초회 입원한 환자(초입원군)로 나누어 의무기록을 검토하여 후향적으로 분석하였다. 결과: 158명 중 연구군(재입원군)은 82명, 대조군(초입원군)은 76명이었다. 연령, 분절형 호중구 및 림프구 백분율, 12개월 내 입원 횟수, 동반 질환(천식 등 호흡기 질환), 우상 폐야의 병변이 재입원의 위험인자로 분석되었다. 그러나 회귀분석상 연령과 동반 질환만 의미 있는 차이를 보였고, 재입원율은 연령이 낮고 동반 질환이 있을 때 높았다. 결론: 소아 폐렴의 재입원 위험인자로 환자의 어린 연령과 동반 질환이 유의하였다. 소아 환자가 폐렴으로 입원했을 때 연령이 낮고 동반 질환이 있다면 더 정확한 검사와 치료, 퇴원 시기 결정, 외래 추적 관찰 등에 신중을 기하여 향후 재입원율을 줄이기 위한 종합적 접근이 필요하다.
