Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze outpatients of glaucoma aged 20 or older about their five-year use of ophthalmology and investigate trend of prevalence in glaucoma patients. The Korea Health Panel (KHP) data from 2008 to 2012 were analyzed using frequency and chi-square tests. The outpatients of glaucoma have increased significantly from 0.43% in 2008 to 0.47% in 2009, 0.49% in 2010, 0.61% in 2011, and 0.75% in 2012 (p<0.001). The outpatients of glaucoma are in the 20's to 70's, and higher utility rate is shown in those who are older (p<0.001), and the rate of use tends to increase each year in all the age groups (p<0.001). The medical care utilization attributed to glaucoma in Korea tends to increase lately; therefore, it is a crucial task to realize early detection and management according to the characteristics of different age groups.

본 연구는 20세 이상의 남녀를 대상으로 녹내장 환자의 5년간의 안과 외래이용을 분석하여 한국인에서 녹내장 발병에 대한 변화추이를 조사하고자 시행하였다. 연구 자료는 한국의료패널의 2008년부터 2012년도의 연간자료를 활용하여 의료이용에 대한 빈도와 교차분석을 실시하였다. 녹내장환자의 안과외래 이용은 2008년 0.43%, 2009년 0.47%, 2010년 0.49%, 2011년 0.61%, 2012년 0.75%로 매년 유의하게 증가하였다(p<0.001). 안과외래를 이용한 녹내장 환자는 20대에서 70대까지 고 연령층으로 갈수록 더 높은 이용률을 보였고(p<0.001), 각 연령대에서 매년 증가하는 경향을 보였다(p<0.001). 이와 같은 결과에서 한국인에서 녹내장으로 인한 최근 의료이용은 매년 증가추세를 보여 각 연령대에 맞는 조기발견과 관리가 중요한 과제임을 알 수 있다.
