The purpose of this study was to compare the sociodemographic characteristics, chronic disease, and medical expenditures between children with and without disabilities. Data from 3,481 children aged < 20 years and no university students were extracted from the Korea health panel 2015 database. The socio-demographic characteristics included age, sex, education level, family income and presence of national basic livelihood act recipients. The variables used were chronic disease, medical use (emergency room use, hospitalization use, hospital outpatient use), and medical expenditure. Differences of variables according to presence or absence of disability were analyzed by independent t test, Mann-Whitney u test, chi-square test, and logistic regression analysis. In results, of the 3,481 children, 32 (0.9%) were children with disabilities. Rate of male, rate of low income, chronic disease and medical expenditure were significantly higher in the disability group than the non-diability group (p<.05). Factors affecting disability of children were sex, presence of national basic livelihood act recipients and chronic disease. In children with disabilities, high levels of medical expenditure were found in cases of brain injury. These findings imply that the accessibility of health care services for children with disabilities is very low. A reasonable social security system for children with disabilities should be established. |
