Ji Eun Kim, Su Jin Kim, Woo Taek Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2001;44(6):627-634.   Published online June 15, 2001
Purpose : It is very important to study the individual risk factors which cause periventricular leukomalacia(PVL) and those which affect the process of cystic formation from liquefied periventricular white matter, in order to prevent and permit early diagnosis of cystic PVL that contributes to mortality and neurologic sequelaes in preterm infants. Therefore, the present study was designed to assess the...

Clin Exp Pediatr. 2000;43(4):556-560.   Published online April 15, 2000
Purpose : The admission rates for pediatric asthma are increasing annually and are partially responsible for the increased rates of readmission. Selections of children with a high-risk of readmission and aggressive treatments of them may improve treatment outcome and cost- effectiveness. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the risk factors affecting readmission in cases of bronchial asthma in...

Clin Exp Pediatr. 1996;39(3):326-337.   Published online March 15, 1996
Purpose : Retinopathy of prematurity(ROP) continues to be a serious problem in infants who survived with neonatal intensive care. Nevertheless, there is neither available data about the incidence of ROP which may be the basis of the epidemiology, nor analysis of the risk factors of ROP in Korea. The purpose of this retrospective study was to evaluate the incidence of...
Ischemic Hepatitis in Children after Cardiac Operation -Analysis of Clinical Characteristics, Risk Factors and Outcome-
Kyung Mo Kim, Jeong Kee Seo
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1995;38(11):1540-1546.   Published online November 15, 1995
Purpose : We have experienced frequently the ischemic hepatitis after cardiac operations which shows rapid striking rise of transaminase. But the ischemic hepatitis in children after cardiac operation is not defined yet in Korea. We examined the clinical characteristics and analyzed the risk factors and outcome in 20 children who showed typical clinical course of ischemic hepatitis after cardiac operation. Methods...
