This study was attempted to help in explore new dir~~tion about Clinical Classification System of the pediatric patients visiting emergency center.
Data were collected from 276 patients who visited emergency center of E University Hospital during 3 months period from March 1, to May 31, 1999.
The results were as follows:
1. Distribution of pediatric patients according to Clinical Classification System, class I (59.9%) topped followed by class II (23.9%), class III(14.1%), class N(2.0%). Average score of pediatric patients according to Clinical Classification System showed class I.00, class II .02, class lII .05, class N .07. and total mean score of items lowed averaged .Ol.
2. With the resepect to the Clinical Classification System according to the pediatric patients visiting emergency center, there were stastically significant difference in visiting time(X z=21.839, P=.023), experience of admission(x z=11.365, p=.010), disease classification(x z =89.998, p=.000), state of airway patency(x ~=18.781, p=.000), consciousness level(x 2=59.714, p=.000), period of symptom manifestation(X 2=34.112, p=.000), pediatric patients protector´s thinking about pediatric patients state(X ~=49.988, p=.000), treatment outcome(x Z=72.278, p=.000), duration of stay at emergency center(X a =103.062, p=.000).
3. There were significant correlation between the state of pediatric patients and Clinical Classification System (r=.530, p=.000).
