Purpose :
This study is designed to statistically analyze the demographic features, KCD-8 code, hospitalization duration, the number of hospitalizations, treatment method of patients who admitted to Department of Acupuncture
and Moxibustion at OO Korean Medicine Hospital for 3 years from September 2nd, 2019 to September 1st, 2022.
Methods :
This study retrospectively analyzed the medical records of inpatients and outpatients at Department of Acupuncture and at OO Korean Medicine Hospital from September 2nd, 2019 to September 1st, 2022. The clinical data was analyzed using IBM SPSS ver. 27.0 for Windows.
Results :
The results of the analysis on 6,331 patients for the past 3 years are as follows.
1. In the analysis of the total number of patients, those in their 30s accounted for the highest percentage, male patients had a higher rate.
2. In the analysis of KCD-8 code, spinal stenosis and fractures in areas other than the spine were the most common in the 70s and older, and cervical sprains were the most common in other. The KCD-8 code with an increased number of patients for 3 years included facial paralysis, other sprains, and spondylosis.
3. In the analysis of the number of hospitalizations, patients classified as illness had more re-hospitalization than patients classified as injury in first-time care. The higher the age, the longer the number of re-hospitalizations, but the average number of hospitalizations decreased every year as the patient's average age became younger.
4. In the analysis of hospitalization duration, patients classified as illness and female had more longer hospitalization duration than patients classified as accident and male in first-time care. The higher the age, the
longer the hospitalization duration, but the hospitalization duration decreased every year as the patient's age became younger.
5. In the analysis of the use of embedding, pharmacopuncture, and Chuna therapy according to the year, the use of embedding decreased every year, the use rate of pharmacopuncture and the use of Chuna therapy increased. Embedding was most frequently performed in patients with spinal stenosis and pharmacopuncture, and Chuna therapy was with cervical sprain.
Conclusion :
We expect that the results of this study would be used as reference materials for analyzing medical consumption condition of department of acupuncture and moxibustion.
