Abstract

This study aims to design a Severity-Adjusted LOS(Length of Stay) Model in order to efficiently manage LOS of AMI(Acute Myocardial Infarction) patients. We designed a Severity-Adjusted LOS Model with using data-mining methods(multiple regression analysis, decision trees, and neural network) which covered 6,074 AMI patients who showed the diagnosis of I21 from 2004-2009 Korean National Hospital Discharge in-depth Injury Survey. A decision tree model was chosen for the final model that produced superior results. This study discovered that the execution of CABG, status at discharge(alive or dead), comorbidity index, etc. were major factors affecting a Sevirity-Adjustment of LOS of AMI patients. The difference between real LOS and adjusted LOS resulted from hospital location and bed size. The efficient management of LOS of AMI patients requires that we need to perform various activities after identifying differentiating factors. These factors can be specified by applying each hospital's data into this newly designed Severity-Adjusted LOS Model.

본 연구는 급성심근경색환자의 효율적인 재원일수 관리를 위해 재원일수에 대한 중증도 보정 모형을 개발하고자 하였다. 2004-2009년 퇴원손상심층조사 자료에서 주진단이 I21인 급성심근경색환자 6,074명을 추출하였으며, 모형 개발 시 데이터마이닝 기법(다중회귀분석, 의사결정나무, 신경망 기법)을 적용하였다. 개발된 모형들 중에서 의사결정나무 모형이 가장 우수한 모형으로 판정되어 이를 본 연구의 중증도 보정 모형으로 채택하였다. 급성심근경색 환자의 재원일수의 중증도 보정에 영향을 미치는 주요한 요인은 관상동맥우회술 시행유무, 퇴원 시 사망유무, 동반지수 등 이였으며, 병상규모와 의료기관 소재지 별로 중증도 보정 재원일수와 실제 재원일수에 차이가 있었다. 급성심근경색환자의 재원일수 변이를 줄이고 효율적으로 관리하기 위해서는 개발된 모형에 각 의료기관의 자료를 적용하여 중증도를 보정한 후, 차이가 나는 요인을 규명하여 이를 해결하는 활동이 수행되어야 할 것이다.
