[병원소식] Gangnam Severance Aortic Surgery 3,000 cases and Hallym University Sacred Heart and Kim Ophthalmology Hospital

◆ Gangnam Severance Aortic Surgery Achieved 3000 Cases

Yonsei University Gangnam Severance Hospital announced on the 12th that it recently achieved 3,000 cases of aortic surgery.

After the first surgery in 2008, the cumulative number of cases until February this year is 3129. There were 1917 cases (61%) of open thoracic and open surgery, and 1212 cases (39%) of hybrid surgery that performed both surgery and stent surgery.

Gangnam Severance Hospital aortic surgery has increased every year, starting with 32 cases in 2008. In particular, after exceeding 300 cases per year in 2017, the recent increase is remarkable, with 365 cases in 2018, 405 cases in 2019, and 452 cases in 2020.

Aortic disease has almost no symptoms until the disease progresses, so there are many life-threatening emergency situations such as aortic dissection or rupture. Gangnam Severance Hospital Aortic Vascular Center is operating a’RAPID’ rapid treatment system where medical staff wait 24 hours to increase the survival rate of emergency patients.

When an emergency patient occurs, all medical staff at the aortic vascular center share the patient’s data through the Rapid System and begin preparations before arriving at the hospital. Through this, the hospital explained that the mortality rate was reduced to 3%.

“The reality is that there are not many hospitals that can quickly diagnose aortic emergency patients and even perform surgery,” said Song Seok-won, director of the Aortic Vascular Center. Human cooperation is the key to saving precious lives.”

◆ Hallym University Sacred Heart Hospital was selected as ‘2021 Medical Data Centered Hospital’ leading future medicine

Hallym University Sacred Heart Hospital is conducting a national project to develop new artificial intelligence drugs based on medical big data, customized cancer prediction models, and new medical technologies.

Hallym University Sacred Heart Hospital announced on the 12th that it was selected as a new host institution in the ‘2021 Medical Data Centered Hospital Support Project’ hosted by the Ministry of Health and Welfare.

The hospital explained that the result was selected through evaluation and on-site inspection by the Ministry of Health and Welfare ascertaining the amount of data retained, the size of the institution, the management and utilization capacity, the cumulative number of patients totaling more than 1 million, and the plan to establish specialized information (DB) for each specialized disease.

Hallym University Sacred Heart Hospital is responsible for this project as the lead research institute, and has 2 advanced general hospitals (Gangneung Asan Hospital, Ulsan University Hospital), 3 general hospitals (Gangdong Kyunghee University Hospital, Gangwon University Hospital, Hallym University Chuncheon Sacred Heart Hospital), specializing in By forming a consortium with two hospitals (Sejong Hospital and Hangil Eye Hospital), it will receive 1.5 billion won worth of project expenses and carry out the project by December 15th.

The medical data-centered hospital support project is a project to improve medical quality by linking, opening, and combining clinical medical big data accumulated by hospitals, and to create a data utilization ecosystem so that it can be used for joint research in industry, academia, research, and disease. .

The contents of the project are ▲ Establishment of a safe health care data utilization environment ▲ Spreading of data standard distribution and establishment of the basis for utilization ▲ Promotion of specialized data for each field such as the development of new artificial intelligence drugs and major diseases of cancer data ▲ Data set definition and new technology for the use of medical data, artificial intelligence, etc. It is such as promoting research for development.

Hallym University Sacred Heart Hospital conducts ▲data production ▲data management and information security ▲data quality management ▲data utilization and opening (the goal of building its own medical big data portal and cloud-based platform) through business.

In particular, the hospital will focus on constructing a dataset by specializing unrefined data (atypical data) by cancer, cardiovascular disease, respiratory disease, and specialized disease (ophthalmology and otorhinolaryngology).

“We will create an innovative data ecosystem with IT infrastructure and specialized medical big data of consortium specialized hospitals and make it a nutrient for future medical development.” I will.”

◆ Kim Ophthalmology Hospital, Corona 19 Vaccination for Medical Staff
