Objectives : This study aimed to determine appropriate treatment and information regarding the current use of Korean
medicine treatment via an analysis of the medical records of chronic cough patients.
Methods : Patients aged 0-18 years who visited Korean pediatrics of Kyung Hee University Korean Medicine Hospital for
chronic cough from March 1, 2020 to July 31, 2022, were analyzed to investigate the sociodemographic characteristics, clinical characteristics, and prescribed treatment.
Results : Thirty-nine patients were selected, comprising 25 boys (64.1%) and 14 girls (35.9%), with an average age of
5.71 ± 2.99 years. In the medical record, past medical history, comorbidities, family history, other symptoms currently ill, skin characteristics, pattern identifications, and cough characteristics were analyzed. Regarding Korean medicine treatment, the characteristics of the participants' visit, classification of prescriptions, herbal medicine and herbs frequently used were analyzed.
Conclusions : This study analyzed the medical records of children and adolescents with chronic coughs to elucidate the use of Korean medicine treatment. Our results may aid the standardization and well-designed clinical or retrospective
