Abstract
|
|
|
Purpose: This study aimed to analyze the treatment outcomes according to the socioeconomic factor of patients who visited the emergency room.
Methods: This study conducted frequency analysis, percentage analysis, and Fisher’s exact test analysis method, using the R 4.1.2 program based on the 2019 data from the Korea Health Panel.
Results: Among the treatment results of 1,648 patients, 392 patients were hospitalized or transferred to other hospitals, 845
were discharged after treatment, 224 were discharged, and 7 died. The Fisher’s exact test of treatment outcomes and socioeconomic factors was not statistically significant for status of the worker and employment relationship, but was significant for the housing, household, economic activity, and insurance types, and marital status and education.
Conclusion: The results of this study indicate that it is necessary to conduct follow up studies on socioeconomic factors to provide basic data that can contribute to fairness and equity in the health care field.
