Hyeon-Bu Kim, Byung-Soo Cho, Sung-Ho Cha, Jeong-Hun Ha, Sun-Hee Kim, Gui-Sook Cho
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1998;41(10):1365-1371.   Published online October 15, 1998
Purpose : A scoring system could be clinically useful in determining cases in which a throat culture may be omitted or in cases whether antibiotics may be initiated or not. We propose to make a clinical guideline of antibiotics administration in patients with pharyngitis. Methods : From Apr. 1996. to Mar. 1997, throat cultures were taken from 321 cases(72 cases from...

Hyunmi Kim, Gyoung Hee Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1996;39(6):829-838.   Published online June 15, 1996
Purpose : Neonatal seizure is usually the presentation of underlying neurologic dysfunction rather than a disease and have high mortality and morbidity as sequalae. Therefore, the parameter predicting the neurologic prognosis is necessary. This study was performed to identify the usefulness of clinical scoring as predictor in neonatal seizure by analyzing outcomes. Methods : From 1982 to 1994, 101 neonates were admitted to Neonatal Intensive...

For simplifying and standardizing the interpretation of usual findings for neonatal sepsis, prenatal and perinatal factors, clinical symptoms and signs, method of management and hematologic findings were evaluated as a screening test. From the data obtained, a scoring system was formulated that assigns a score of 3 for diarrhea, 1. 5 for tachypnea, 1.5 for cyanosis, 1 for umbilical vessel catheterization, 1 for intravenous...

Soo Kyung Jeong, Jae Sook Kim, Choong Hee Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1984;27(3):217-223.   Published online March 31, 1984
This clinical observation was made on 2,143 newborns delivered at the National Seoul Hospital in 1979-1983 to figure out any relations between Apgar Score and problems such as late discharge, blood pH, mortality, meconium staining, and neurologic status in late childhood. The results are summarized as following: 1) Percentage distribution of Apgar score for 2,143 newborns was 3.8% for score 0-3,...
Simplification of Ballard'S Scoring System in Clinical Estimation of Gestational Age in Newborn Infants.
Woong Heum Kim, Jung Hwan Choi, Chong Ku Yun, Yong Ik Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1983;26(3):228-236.   Published online March 31, 1983
Clinically, it is often required to identify that neonates are small, appropriate, or large-for- gestational age, since the clinical course, outcome, and problems are quite different in each group of infants. For this, accurate estimation of gestational age is required in addition to birth weight. Several methods to assess the gestational age based on the physical and neurological char- acteristics of neonates have been developed...

Jung Hwan Choi, Yong Ik Kim, Choug Ku Yun
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1981;24(11):1046-1056.   Published online November 15, 1981
In recent years, there has been a rapidly increasing interest; in babies whose birthweight is low because their intrauterine growth has been retarded and it has been recognized that the clinical problems of these 'small-for-dates' infants differ from those of true prematures. Although it is very difficult to differentiate 'small-for-dates' infants from true prematures, it can be made readily if...
