Purpose: This study compared infant mortality and its associated factors between Korean and immigrant women using vital statistics gathered by Statistics Korea. Methods: Birth and death statistics from the period between 2009 and 2019 were extracted from the census of population dynamics data of the Microdata Integrated Service, Korea. Statistical data were derived from a complete survey and infant mortality was analyzed from mortality statistics data. Descriptive statistics were used for comparison. Results: The average infant mortality rate (IMR) of Korean women was 2.7 in Korea, which did not change significantly between 2009 and 2019; however, the IMR of immigrant women increased significantly in 2018 to 4.2 and subsequently decreased to 2.6 in 2019. Moreover, the age of Korean and immigrant women at the time of infant death gradually increased from 31.1 years and 25.9 years in 2009 to 32.8 years and 30.9 years in 2019, respectively. The gestational age was lower for deceased infants born to immigrant women (mean, 31.04 weeks; standard deviation [SD], 6.42; median, 30.00) compared to infants born to Korean women (mean, 31.71 weeks; SD, 6.48; median, 32.00). Immigrant women (91.7%) received slightly fewer antenatal care visits compared to Korean women (93.1%). Conclusion: It is vital to devise a plan to lower the IMR of immigrant women in Korea. Moreover, it is necessary to explore the factors related to infant mortality among immigrant women within the context of Korean societal situation, culture, and home environment.

본 연구는 우리나라 출생아 전수(n=617,867)를 대상으로 산모 연령과 영아 사망과의 관련성을 파악하고자 시행하였다. 연구자료는 인구동태통계자료와 영아사망조사자료를 연계하여 사용하였고, 산모 연령에 따른 영아 사망 위험을 파악해 보기 위해 출생아의 성별과 다태 여부, 출생순위, 저체중아 여부, 선천성기형 여부를 보정한 다중 로지스틱 회귀분석을 시행하였다. 여러 혼란요인을 보정한 분석 결과, 25-29세 산모에 비해 20세 미만 산모(Odds ratio [OR], 5.29, 95% confidence interval [CI], 3.51-7.98)와 20-24세 산모(OR, 1.44, 95% CI, 1.23-1.69), 35-39세 산모(OR, 1.28, 95% CI, 1.11-1.46), 40세 이상 산모(OR, 1.94, 95% CI, 1.53-2.45)에서 영아 사망 오즈가 통계적으로 유의하게 높았다. 결론적으로, 이번 연구를 통해 35세 이상 고 연령 산모와 25세 미만의 저 연령 산모에서 영아 사망 위험이 높은 것을 확인할 수 있었고, 이들에서 영아 사망 위험이 높은 이유는 저체중아나 미숙아의 출산이 많기 때문으로 보인다. 산전관리 시 고령 산모의 경우 생물학적인 문제를 극복할 수 있는 관리정책이 만들어져야 할 것으로 보이고, 저 연령 산모의 경우 사회경제적인 부분과 사회적 편견 문제를 해결할 수 있는 관리정책이 만들어져야 할 것으로 보인다.

The primary objective of this study was to estimate the level of infant mortality rate and to find the cause of infant deaths prevailed in 1981~86 from vital registration data. In the course of that undertaking we have considered the non-registered portion of infant deaths especially for the non-registered portion of neonatal deaths. The main reason is that deaths occurring in the neonatal period and prior to the registration of the birth leave little incentive for the registration of either the birth or the death. From several ad-hoc survey's results and other countries' experiences it was, however, found that the proportion of neonatal deaths was 69.3%, the proportion of deaths in the period of first month in infanty was 7%, and the proportion of deaths in the period of 2 months and over in infancy was 23.7% respectivily. Thus, adoption the hypothesis that post-neonatal mortality is completly registered, we obtained the extimated number of infant deaths. Attempt to test the hypothesis was also made using the Brougeois- Pichats's function. The result was that the registered number of deaths in the post-neonatal period is almost compatible with the expected number. The major finding in this study was that the level of infant mortality rate in Korea was 19 per thousand live births in 1981 and 13 in 1986. This level of 1986 was almost identical with the level of Japan in 1970. It was also found that there was a difference in the level of infant mortality rate between sexes during 1981-83 but the difference was disappeared in 1985-86. Looking into the cause of infant deaths, it was found from registration that 21.2% of all infant deaths was due to congenital snomalies, 11.5% was due to pneumonia and 5.1% was due to the conditions originating in the perinatal period in that order. This pattern seems to be different with that of U.S.A., Japan and France. However, if we consider the non-registered neo-natal deaths, the order of the cause of infant deaths in Korea will be the same as compared countries. Finally, every efforts should should be made to obtain a good quality of data on infant mortality, making the non-registered events reported completely through hospitals.

A study on the status of death in rural area was conducted during the period from July '75 to August '75. 1,225 families and 8,067 population (4,124 male, 3,943 female) had been lived and 149 events of death since 5 years before study were occurred in survey area, Nammyon, Hwasoongun, Chonnam. The summarized results were as follows: 1. Quinquennial death rate was 3.7 (5.2 for male, 2.1 for female). 2. In respect of age group, the highest group was over 70 years old group (age at death, 30.8% of total death). High age groups (over 50 years old) occupied 71.1% of total death and death rate in these groups were higher in male than female. Child death (0-4 years old) occupied 7.4% of total death and infant death rate was higher in female than male. 3. Duration of sickness before die was highest in 1 to 12 months (39.6%) 4. The most frequent cause of death was disease of digestive system (12.1%). Other important causes were disease of circulatory system (10.7%), disease of respiratory system (9.4%) and infectious and parasitic disease (4.7%). Disease of digestive system was the most frequent cause of death in male (14.0%) and disease of respiratory system was the most frequent cause in female (9.5%).

최근 대부분의 가정에서 자식을 하나만 나아서 기르는 저출산 시대가 왔다. 이에 따라 부모들은 태어나면서부터 아이에게 지대한 관심을 가지게 되고, 헬스케어(Healthcare) 분야가 새로운 성장산업으로 부상하면서 (베이비 케어)Baby Care에 대한 관심 또한 높아졌다. 지금까지의 Baby Care 제품은 식품, 목욕용품 그리고 의복 등에서 발전을 해 왔지만 유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅 환경의 발달과 헬스케어산업의 발달과 함께 Baby Care 전자 제품 개발이 이루어지고 있다. 유럽이나 미국 등에서는 유아를 다른 방에서 키운다. 이때 유아가 돌연사하는 현상이 종종 일어나는데 이를 예방하기 위해서 유아의 상태를 측정하고, 부모가 유아에게 떨어져 있어도 유아의 상태를 확인할 수 있는 Platform를 구현하였다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 라디오 주파수를 이용하여 데이터 저장 없이 부모의 실시간 관찰에 의해서만 판단했던 시스템을 고속의 ARM11 기반의 S3C6410 CPU를 이용하고, 무선 WI-FI(IEEE8.2.11)기술을 활용한 유아 돌연사 방지 Platform구현에 대한 연구를 진행하였다.

Isolated anomalous right coronary artery originating from the pulmonary artery (ARCAPA) is a rare congenital coronary anomaly that is asymptomatic and discovered incidentally in most cases. ARCAPA is generally not considered a fatal defect in infancy or childhood, although cases of sudden death have been reported. Here, we report a 2-month-old female infant who presented with a prolonged fever that was determined to be caused by rhinovirus infection. Myocardial ischemia of the left ventricular posterior wall was already seen on echocardiography, and ARCAPA was discovered incidentally. The patient underwent successful surgical reimplantation of the right coronary artery to the aortic root to re-establish dual ostial circulation.

To use basic data for health planning and evaluation of Kangwha community health project of Yonsei University, a study on death rates and causes of death were investigated in two townships (Naega and Sunwon Myuns) in Kangwha County from April 1, 1975 to March 31, 1977 All death was identified and reported by family health workers who are living in each village and 2 trained public health nurses confirmed the death. The causes of death were investigated by 2 public physicians. Total number of deaths for 2 years was 230 and the followings are brief summary of the study. 1. Age-adjusted crude death rates of study area were 8.69 per 1,000 population in 1975 and 7.18 per 1,000 population in 1976. Age-adjusted crude death rates for male were 9.18 in 1975 and 6.38 in 1976 and for female were 8.33 and 7.80 per 1,000 population 2. Age specific death rate curves by year and sex showed 'U' shapes. 3. Infant and neonatal death rates were 30.08 and 22.56 per 1,000 live births in 1975, and the rates in 1976 were 18.18 and 13.64. 4. The most common cause of death was cerebrovascular disease and average cause specific death rate for the disease was 215.5 per 100,000 population. 5. Four leading causes of death were non-infectious origin; cerebrovascular disease, malignant neoplasms, senility and suicide. Pulmonary tubeculosis and pneumonia occupied 5th and 9th causes of death. 6. Stomach cancer and hepatoma occupied 61.3% of total death due to malignant neoplasms. 7. Most frequent cause of neonatal death was birth injury. Two deaths due to tetanus were found in 1975, but no death due to this disease was found in 1976. 8. About half of deceased received care from physician before death.
