Objectives : The purpose of this study is to retrospectively analyze 3 years of inpatient ophthalmology consultation to Korean medicine ophthalmology, otolaryngology & dermatology department in Korean medicine hospital.
Methods : We classified ophthalmological inpatient consultations between September 1st, 2019 and August 31st, 2022, based on electronic medical record by gender, age, hospitalized department, categories of diseases.
Results : Total number of consultations were 111, and the average of age was 63.6. The proportion of female and male were 2.5:1. Among the 136 cases of eye disease referred, lacriminal production and discharge diseases accounted for the most at 54 cases(39.7%), of which 44 cases were dry eyes syndrome. Excluding dry eye syndrome, conjunctival disease occurred the most with 24 cases(17.6%). Consultations from department of Korean rehabilitation medicine, and Korean internal medicine were most common, because they have a comparatively large number of inpatients and long hospitalization period.
Conclusions : This study identified the frequency of consultation and the disease group with many requests for each department. When inpatients complain of eye disease, consultation to Korean medicine ophthalmology, otolaryngology & dermatology department should be encouraged as accurate diagnosis and treatment using specialized equipment is possible and can be used for the purpose of progress observation and examination.
