Abstract

이 연구의 목적은 질병관리본부의 퇴원손상환자조사 자료를 이용하여 경제적 수준이 낮은 지역이 그렇지 않은 지역에 비해 다른 운수사고 양상을 보이는지를 규명하는 것이었다. 지역의 경제적 수준은 재정자립도를 지표로 삼아 5개로 구분하였다. 이 연구의 주요 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 운수사고는 25-44세 그룹까지 증가하다가 그 이후에는 감소하는 양상을 보였다. 둘째, 운수사고의 유형은 승용차의 빈도가 가장 높았고 길 또는 간선도로에서 가장 많은 사고가 발생하였다. 셋째, 지역에 따라 운수사고 유형에 차이가 있었다. 넷째, 응급 입원율은 지역에 따라 차이를 보였으나, 소득수준에 따른 차이는 없었다. 마지막으로 소득수준이 낮은 지역은 골절, 자상, 개방성 상처와 같이 심각한 손상이 주로 발생하고 소득수준이 높은 지역은 염좌, 긴장, 탈구와 같이 상대적으로 덜 심각한 손상이 주로 발생하는 등 손상 양상의 지역간 차이가 발생하고 있었으며 이러한 지역간 차이는 통계적으로 유의하였다(p<0.05). 따라서, 지역간 소득 수준에 따라 운수사고 양상이 차이가 발생하고 있으므로 정부 및 지방자치단체는 이를 고려한 차별화된 운수사고 예방전략을 수립해야 할 것이다. The purpose of this study was to compare inter-regional accident modes using the National Hospital Discharge Patient Injury Survey. In order to determine economic status of each region, 234 cities and counties were categorized as 5 groups according to their financial self-reliance ratio. The main results are as follows. First, transport accidents had increased by the age group of 25 to 44 but decreased thereafter. Second, the frequency of car accidents was the highest among several types of transport accidents. Most common site of transport accidents was roads and highways. Third, there was significant difference in the modes of transport accident among regions. Fourth, emergency admission rate was quite different according to regional groups but it was no significant difference by economic status. Lastly, there was significant difference in injury patterns by region groups. In regions which were high economic status, there were relatively less serious injury patterns such as sprain, strain, dislocation while regions which were in low economic status had experienced serious injury including fracture, stab wound, and open fracture. We could find the difference in accident modes by regional economic status. Therefore, health authority should consider different accident prevention strategies by regional groups.
