尽管使用了疫苗和各种抗生素，每年仍有大约30%的韩国人口接受肺炎治疗，肺炎死亡人数继续增加。本研究使用韩国出院患者的信息来调查12年来出院肺炎患者的数量和特征。利用韩国国立医院出院深度伤害调查数据，收集了2006年至2017年出院患者的信息。评估每年出院肺炎患者的人数及其年龄组，并采用Charlson共病指数评估这些患者的共病风险。在韩国，每年出院的肺炎患者数量都在变化。特别是2011年患者总数大幅增加，其中婴儿和儿童的数量大幅增加。此外，与其他年龄组相比，老年组出院的肺炎患者人数有所增加。此外，注意到最近肺炎患者合并症的严重程度有所增加。鉴于老年肺炎患者人数持续增加，应首先对老年人进行高血压和糖尿病等慢性病的治疗。此外，应根据合并症的存在选择适当的治疗方法。
Despite the use of vaccines and various antibiotics, approximately 30% of the South Korean population is treated for pneumonia each year, and the number of deaths from pneumonia continues to increase. The present study used information on discharged patients in South Korea to investigate the number and characteristics of discharged pneumonia patients across 12 years. Using the Korean National Hospital Discharge In-Depth Injury Survey data, information on discharged patients from 2006 to 2017 were collected. The number of discharged pneumonia patients for each year and their age group was assessed, and the Charlson Comorbidity Index was used to assess the risk of comorbidities in these patients. The number of discharged pneumonia patients varied every year in South Korea. In particular, the total number of patients increased substantially in 2011, with a large increase in the number of infants and children. In addition, the number of discharged pneumonia patients increased in the elderly group compared to the other age groups. Moreover, a recent increase in the severity of comorbidities in pneumonia patients was noted. Given the continued increase in the number of elderly patients with pneumonia, chronic diseases, such as hypertension and diabetes, should be managed first in the elderly. Moreover, appropriate treatment methods should be selected based on the presence of comorbidities.
