Purpose: The purpose of this study was to analyze the characteristics of patients who canceled their ED visits and to determine the factors that influence ED cancellation. Methods: Retrospective study that analyzed data from the electronic medical records(EMR) and Prehospital Care Reports(PCRs) of 305 patients who cancelled their appointments at a single emergency medical center over a six-month period from October 12, 2022, to April 12, 2023. Results: ED cancellations were 2.287 times higher if the patient presented to the ambulance after outpatient hours(09:00~17:00) (p=.007), and ED cancellations were 3.712 times higher if the patient presented to the ambulance under the influence of alcohol(p=.011). For patients' symptoms, medical diseases were associated with a 1.965 times increase in cancelled ED visits compared to other modes of transport (p=.005), while mental and chronic diseases were associated with a 67.3% decrease in cancelled ED visits compared to other modes of transport (OR=0.327, CI=[0.130-0.822], p=.018). symptomatic improvement was associated with a 2.482 times increase in presentations to a 119 ambulance compared to delayed waiting time(p=.022). Conclusion: Emergency medical centers should consider improving the legal system, such as increasing emergency medical care fees, to reduce the number of patients who cancel their appointments.

The study was aimed at developing an independent hospice center model that would be best suited for Korea based on a literature review and the current status of local and international hospices. For the study, five local and six international hospice organizations were surveyed. Components of the hospice center model include philosophy, purpose, resources (workers, facilities, and equipment), allocation of resources, management, financial support and hospice team service. The following is a summary of the developed model: Philosophies for the hospice center were set as follows: based on the dignity of human life and humanism, help patients spend the rest of their days in a meaningful way and accept life positively. On the staff side, to pursue a team-oriented holistic approach to improve comfort and quality of life for terminally ill persons and their families. The hospice center should have 20 beds with single, two, and four bed rooms. The center should employ, either on a part-time or full-time basis, a center director, nurses, doctors, chaplains, social workers, pharmacists, dieticians, therapists, and volunteers. In addition, it will need an administrative staff, facility managers and nurses aides. The hospice should also be equipped with facilities for patients, their families, and team members, furnished with equipment and goods at the same level of a hospital. represented by a center director who reports to a board and an advisory committee. Also, the center director administers a steering committee and five departments, namely, Administration, Nursing Service, Social Welfare, Religious Services, and Medical Service. Furthermore, the center should be able to utilize a direct and support delivery systems. The direct delivery system allows the hospice center to receive requests from, or transfer patients to, hospitals, clinics, other hospice organizations (by type), public health centers, religious organizations, social welfare organizations, patients, and their guardians. On the other hand, the support delivery system provides a link to outside facilities of various medical suppliers. In terms of management, details were made with regards to personnel management, records, infection control, safety, supplies and quality management. For financial support, some form of medical insurance coverage for hospice services, ways to promote a donation system and fund raising were examined. Hospice team service to be provided by the hospice center was categorized into assessment, physical care, emotional care, spiritual care, bereavement service, medication, education and demonstrations, medical supplies rental, request service, volunteer service, and respite service. Based on the results, the study has drawn up the following suggestions: 1. The proposed model for a hospice center as presented in the study needs to be tested with a pilot project. 2. Studies on criteria for legal approval and license for a hospice center need to be conducted to develop policies. 3. Studies on developing a hospice charge system and hospice standards that meet local conditions in Korea need to be conducted.

Purpose: To calculate Preventable Trauma Death Rate (PTDR), Trauma and Injury Severity Score (TRISS) is the most utilized evaluation index of the trauma centers in South Korea. However, this method may have greater variation due to the small number of the denominator in each trauma center. Therefore, we would like to develop new indicators that can be used easily on quality improvement activities by increasing the denominator. Methods: The medical records of 1005 major trauma (ISS >15) patients who visited 2 regional trauma center (A center and B center) in 2014 were analyzed retrospectively. PTDR and PARK Index (Preventable Major Trauma Death Rate, PMTDR) were calculated in 731 patients with inclusion criteria. We invented PARK Index to minimize the variation of preventability of trauma death. In PTDR the denominator is all number of deaths, and in PARK Index the denominator is number of all patients who have survival probability (Ps) larger than 0.25. Numerator is the number of deaths from patients who have Ps larger than 0.25. Results: The size of denominator was 40 in A center, 49 in B center, and overall 89 in PTDR. The size of denominator was significantly increased, and 287 (7.2-fold) in A center, 422 (8.6-fold) in B center, and overall 709 (8.0-fold) in PARK Index. PARK Index was 12.9% in A center, 8.3% in B center, and overall 10.2%. Conclusion: PARK Index is calculated as a rate of mortality from all major trauma patients who have Ps larger than 0.25. PARK Index obtain an effect that denominator is increased 8.0-fold than PTDR. Therefore PARK Index is able to compensate for greater disadvantage of PTDR. PARK Index is expected to be helpful in implementing evaluation of mortality outcome and to be a new index that can be applied to a trauma center quality improvement activity.

Purpose: Recently, social interest in an organized trauma system for the treatment of patients has been increasing in government and academia and the establishment of trauma center is being considered across the country. However, establishing such a system has not been easy in Korea, because enormous experiences and resources are necessary. The objectives of this study were (1) to estimate a trauma patient's demands during the course of treatment and (2) to provide appropriate direction for trauma centers to be established in Korea. Methods: The records of 207 patients who were admitted to the Department of Trauma Surgery in Ajou University Medical Center due to trauma were retrospectively reviewed for a 1 year period from March 2010 to February 2011. Patients were reviewed for general characteristics, number of hospital days, numbers and kinds of surgeries, numbers and kinds of consultations, ISS (Injury Severity Score) and number of patients with ISS more than 15. Results: All 207 patients were enrolled. The average number of hospital days was 36.7 days. The ICU stay was 15.9 days, and the general ward stay was 20.8 days. Admitted patients occupied 9.02 beds in ICU and 11.80 beds in the general ward per day. The average number of surgeries per patient was 1.4, and surgery at the Department of Trauma Surgery was most common. Number of consultations per patient was 14.23, and consultations with orthopedic surgeons were most common. The average ISS was 18.6. The number of patients with ISS more than 15 was 141 (61.8%) and the average number of patients treated per trauma surgeon as a major trauma patient was 94.3. The number of mortalities was 20, and the mortality rate was 9.7%. Conclusion: To reduce mortality and to provide proper treatment of patients with major trauma, hospitals need some number of beds, especially in the ICU, to treat patients and to prepare them for emergent surgery. An appropriate number of trauma surgeons and various specialists for consultation are also needed.

Purpose: This study was conducted to investigate whether rapid and efficient administration of blood products was achieved and whether clinical outcomes were improved by applying a massive transfusion protocol (MTP). Methods: From January 2016 to September 2019, the medical records of trauma patients who received at least 10 units of packed red blood cells (PRBC) at Pusan National University Hospital (level I trauma center) were retrospectively reviewed. The patients treated from January 2016 to January 2018 were designated as the non-MTP group, and those treated from February 2018 to September 2019 were designated as the MTP group. Results: During the study period, 370 patients received massive transfusions. The non-MTP and MTP groups comprised 84 and 55 patients, respectively. No significant between-group differences were found in the units of PRBC (23.2 vs. 25.3, respectively; p=0.46), fresh frozen plasma (FFP) (21.1 vs. 24.4, respectively; p=0.40), and platelets (PLT) (15.4 vs. 17.0, respectively; p=0.54) administered in the first 24 hours. No statistically significant differences between the non-MTP and MTP groups were found in the FFP-to-PRBC ratio (0.9 vs. 0.94, respectively; p=0.44) and or the PLT-to-PRBC ratio (0.72 vs. 0.72, respectively; p=0.21). However, the total number of cryoprecipitate units was significantly higher in the MTP group than in the non-MTP group (7.4 vs. 15.3 units, respectively; p=0.003) and the ratio of cryoprecipitate to PRBC in the MTP group was significantly higher than in the non-MTP group (0.31 vs. 0.62, respectively; p=0.021). The time to transfusion was significantly reduced after MTP implementation (41.0 vs. 14.9 minutes, respectively; p=0.003). Conclusions: Although no significant differences were found in the clinical outcomes of patients who had undergone severe trauma, rapid and balanced transfusion was achieved after implementing the MTP.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate drug prescription patterns for the treatment of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients in Korea. Methods: Ambulatory adult patients who were diagnosed and received treatment for the asthma (ICD-10 code J45) or COPD (ICD-10 code J44) from January 2009 to September 2011 in two independent secondary hospitals in Korea were enrolled in this study. Prescribed drug lists were generated based on the evidence-based guidelines and prescribed drug dosage forms were identified from the patient medical records and computerized drug prescription databases of the study centers. Results: Total numbers of asthma and COPD patient enrolled in this study were 2,432 and 2,615, respectively. Individual prescription-based accumulated numbers of patient were 12,021 for asthma and 16,584 for COPD. The most commonly prescribed three drugs were oral predisolone, oral formoterol and oral montelukast for asthma and oral formoterol, oral doxofylline and inhaled tiotropium for COPD. Frequencies of oral drugs were 83.4% and 63.3% while inhalers were 16.4% and 30.2%, for asthma and COPD, respectively. Conclusion: The oral treatment was prescribed more in asthma and COPD patients than inhalers. To enhance the compliance of evidence-based guidelines for these chronic airway diseases, more realistic and specific strategies to increase the use of inhalers recommended as primary treatment options for asthma and COPD would be required.

본 연구는 시설 신축 여부에 따른 환경요인이 고혈압 조절에 미치는 영향을 미치는 지 여부를 파악하기 위해 1994년부터 약 10여년 동안 시행되어 온 농촌의료서비스 개선사업에 의한 보건기관 신축 여부와 인구학적 개인 요인, 전문의 여부 등 의사 요인의 영향을 함께 고려하여 분석한 연구이다. 고혈압 조절에 영향을 미치는 요인에 관한 연구천성아, 나백주, 김철웅, 이무식 7는 주로 개인 특성에 대한 연구가 이미 수행되었지만 의사의 특성 요인 및 의료 조직 및 시설의 위치 등 환경 요인에 대한 분석은 미흡하였다.조사는 충청도 일부 지역 6개 시,군으로 농어촌의료서비스 개선사업 대상지역이다. 해당 지역의 6개 보건소 및 산하 59개 보건지소에 2005년 7월 1일부터 2006년 6월 30일까지 한번이라도 고혈압 진료를 위해 환자가 내원하거나 보건소 직원이 직접 방문하여 투약 혹은 상담을 한 내용이 기록된 자료 가운데 분석에 적합한 약 2만5천건의 고혈압 환자 진료 자료를 분석하였다.연구결과 전체적인 보건기관에 혈압수치 조절율은 53.9%이었으며 여성이 남성보다 혈압이 잘 조절되었으면 60대와 70대의 혈압 조절율이 유의하게 높았다(p<0.01). 또한 개선지역이 미개선 지역에 비해 혈압조절율이 유의하게 높았다(p<0.01). 전문의 기준으로 일반의에서 혈압조절율이 다변량 분석에서 유의하게 낮았다(p<0.01). 이 연구는 진료에 적합한 시설이 환자진료 과정에서 의료진의 만족도와 환자의 안정감을 향상시키고 이는 결국 환자관리의 순응도 등을 높이는데 기여하여 진료결과의 질적 향상에도 영향을 미칠 수 있음을 실증적으로 확인하였다. 이는 향후 농어촌의료서비스개선사업이 지역사회 건강결과 향상에 미치는 효과를 계량화 하는 기초 자료가 될 수 있을 것으로 판단한다.연구 기금본 연구는 한국개발연구원이 발주하고 한국보건사회연구원이 수행한 “농어촌의료서비스개선사업의 심층평가” 연구의 지원으로 수행하였습니다.감사의 말씀본 연구에 적극 협조해 주신 프로그램 개발업체 GST 이재익 사장과 민상익 연구원에게 깊은 감사를 드립니다.
