Abstract

Objectives : This study is designed to analyze outpatients who received medical treatments in ophthalmology, otolaryngology & dermatology clinic in Cheonan for 3 years. Based on the results, we intend to identify the trends of outpatients and provide the base data that can be used for future researches on patient characteristics, and Korean medicine treatments on field, statistical surveys, policy setting related to medical services. Methods : We retrospectively analyzed outpatients according to gender, year, age, season, main diagnosis, number of visits. The statistical analysis performed using IBM SPSS 25.0 for Windows. Results : The results of analyzing the electronic medical records of 1,260 patients are as follows. 1. Patients increased in 2019 compared to 2018, but decreased due to the influence of COVID-19 in 2020, and women visited more than men. The most visited age group was 40s and 50s, and summer was the highest in season. 2. By analyzing the number of visits per patient, men visited more than women, under the age of 20 was highest in age group and spring was highest in season. 3. Every year, sudden hearing loss, a frequent disease in otology, increased, and rhinitis, a frequent disease in ophthalmology, decreased. And the proportion of patients in dermatology was about 30% of the total 100 diseases. Conclusions : In order to increase the supply and use of Korean medicine in the Cheonan area in the future, it is essential to provide support at the association level and systematic supplement at the government level in consideration of the characteristics of the patient group and the trend of frequency diseases.
