Objectives : The objective of this study is to identify the characteristics of outpatients and the frequently
diagnosed diseases in dermatology of Korean medicine through periodic research and comparison with
previous studies.
Methods : We analyzed medical records of new outpatients who visited department of dermatology at Kyun
g Hee university Korean medicine hospital between January 1, 2018 and December 31, 2022. We analyzed the
patient demographic characteristics and the frequency of diagnosed diseases. Then we compared these result
s with previous studies in 2000, 2007 and 2016.
Results : 1. Average number of patients and proportion of male patients have increased from 1996 to 2022.
2. From 1996 to 2022, there was a decrease in the proportion of patients aged 0-39 and an increase in the
proportion of patients aged over 40.
3. The distribution proportions of eczema, atopic dermatitis, and rosacea during 2018-2022 have increased
compared to those during 2011-2015.
4. The distribution of diseases according to age appears to vary based on the epidemiological characteristic
s of the diseases.
5. The distribution of diseases according to gender also appears to vary based on the epidemiological char
acteristics of the diseases, as well as cosmetic issues related to the affected areas.
Conclusions : Considering the sustained trend of a high proportion of non-infectious inflammatory diseases
since 1996, it is important to enhance treatment capacity through continuous research.
