Abstract

This cross-sectional study identified the determinants and barriers of pre- hospital emergency medical services (EMS) utilization among general critical emergency patients in Thailand, using the data of general critical emergency patients (red zone) from the information technology for emergency medical system (ITEMS) of the National Emergency Medical Service Institute. The sample of 889 critical emergency patients was selected through multistage random sampling method. Data were analyzed by multiple logistic regression. The findings indicated that 41.51% of general critical emergency patients used EMS through the EMS rescue hotline system of the National Institute of Emergency Medicine in which most of them were diabetic patients (24.75%). The determinants relating to EMS utilization of general critical emergency patients consisted of level of knowledge on EMS system (AdjOR: 5.77; 95%CI: 2.8-11.87), confidence in the safety of service utilization (AdjOR: 5.04; 95%CI: 3.65-6.98), recognition in service and severity of illness (AdjOR: 3.22; 95%CI: 2.17-4.76), service adequacy (AdjOR: 1.92; 95%CI: 1.41-2.63), educational background (AdjOR:1.69; 95%CI: 1.13-2.53), and service satisfaction (AdjOR: 1.14; 95%CI: 1.07-1.21). Nearly half of the people were utilizing the EMS services in Thailand. However, required level of knowledge on EMS, confidence on safety on service utilization, service adequacy as well as patient’s educational background had tremendous role on the proper utilization of EMS.

Abstract

Lung cancer is characterized by the uncontrolled growth of cells in the lung tissue, particularly in the lining of the respiratory tract. The disease has a high and alarming mortality rate, requiring prompt and appropriate management. This study aims to examine the costs and one-year survival rates of lung cancer patients at Dharmais Cancer Hospital. Data analysis was conducted in four stages: a retrospective observational study using secondary data from medical records, which described patient characteristics and factors affecting survival and treatment costs; analysis of survival curves by cancer stage and intervention; and testing differences in survival curves using the log-rank test. The results show that higher survival rates are often inversely proportional to shorter survival times, and vice versa. Stage 1 patients exhibited the most extended survival despite low survival rates for inpatients (48 months, 25%) and outpatients (53 months, 15%). Intervention types 4.00 (chemotherapy and radiotherapy) and 7.00 (chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and surgery) effectively extended survival, although associated survival rates remained low. The highest inpatient treatment costs were observed in stage 2 patients, while the highest annual outpatient costs were linked to surgical interventions, highlighting the difference between per-episode and cumulative annual expenditures.
