Abstract

Due to population aging and westernized lifestyle, ischemic heart diseases are increasing, and Korea has one of the highest lengths of stay for ischemic heart diseases. Since the increase in the length of stay is a major cause of the increase in medical expenses, it is necessary to prepare a plan to manage the length of stay. Accordingly, this study was conducted to identify the factors influencing the length of stay of ischemic heart disease, and provide the elementary resources necessary for the management of the length of stay. The study subjects were 566 ischemic heart disease patients of a tertiary hospital. As the result of the study, first, the number of inpatients with chest pain as the chief complaint was the largest. Second, the average length of stay was 4.89 days, and the length of stay varied depending on the type of ischemic heart disease. Third, the age of over 75 years, diabetes, and dyspnea were the factors increasing the length of stay. Therefore, for management of adequate length of stay for ischemic heart disease, it is important to prevent the progression of illness through blood sugar control for ischemic heart disease patients with diabetes. Also, it is necessary to prepare a system where patients can visit hospitals as fast as possible if they have any symptoms.

인구 고령화와 서구화된 생활로 인한 허혈성 심장질환이 지속적으로 증가하고 있으며, 우리나라는 OCED 국가 중에서 허혈성 심장질환의 재원일수가 높은 국가에 속한다. 재원일수 증가는 진료비 상승의 주요 원인이므로, 허혈성 심장질환의 재원일수 관리방안 마련이 필요하다. 이에 본 연구는 허혈성 심장질환자의 재원일수에 영향을 미치는 요인을 파악하여 재원 일수 관리에 필요한 기초자료를 제공하고자 시도되었다. 연구대상자는 일개 상급종합병원의 2015년1월1일부터 12월31일까지 순환기내과의 퇴원환자 중에서 주진단명이 허혈성 심장질환인 환자 566명이다. 자료분석은 IBM SPSS ver. 23.0을 이용하여 빈도분석, 교착분석, Fisher's test, One-way ANOVA, $Scheff{\acute{e}}$ test, 더미변수를 이용한 다중회귀분석을 실시하였다. 연구결과는 첫째, 흉통을 주호소로 입원한 환자가 가장 많았다. 둘째, 평균 재원일수는 4.89일이었으며, 허혈성 심장질환 종류별로 재원일수에 차이가 있었다. 셋째, 75세이상, 당뇨병, 호흡곤란 증상이 재원일수를 증가시키는 요인으로 나타났다. 따라서 허혈성 심장질환의 적정 재원일수 관리를 위해서는 당뇨병을 동반한 허혈성 심장질환자의 경우에는 혈당조절을 통해서 질병의 진행을 막는 것이 중요하며, 증상이 나타났을 경우 빠른 시간 내에 의료기관을 방문할 수 있는 체계마련이 필요하다.
