Abstract

Objectives By recording basic data of patients visiting the emergency room of the oriental medicine center, we can understand their characteristics and gain better insight about them. Methods We performed a retrospective study of 2,674 patients who visited the emergency room of Kyunghee Oriental Medical Center, from June 1, 2006 to May 31, 2007. Results 1. Of 2,674 total patients, the male to female ratio was 0.94:1 and the 6th decade of life was the peak age group. 2. The majority of patients visited our emergency room between 06:00 and 24:00(midnight). 3. Most patients visited on a Saturday or Sunday. 4. By monthly distribution, the patients increased slightly during June, July, August and October. 5. The majority of patients visited the emergency room within 24 hours of onset. 6. The patients were categorized as follows: neurological diseases 71.15%, musculoskeletal diseases 16.02%, internal medical disease 9.04%, psychiatric and related disease 3.79%. 7. The average transit time was about 1 hour 30 minutes. 8. Admission rate was 48% and the rate of admission to the intensive care unit (ICU) was 5% of total visiting patients. Conclusion Assuming that this research will continue adding patient's data continuously, this work will help us to understand the features of patients who visiting the emergency room of the oriental medical center.
