Abstract：
:Dementia produces major clinical and social problems that have catastrophic consequences for patients and their families. Dementia also complicates clinical care for other co-existing medical conditions. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) utilization is increasingly used for diagnostic purposes, such as early diagnosis of dementia and special examination of dementia. This study analyzed the utilization status and factors affecting use of MRI examination of patients with dementia using the Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI). We used data from the Korean National Hospital Discharge In-depth Injury Survey (KNHDS) for three years, from 2013 to 2015, investigated by Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (KCDC). The subjects of the study were 643 patients whose primary diagnosis code according to the International Classification of Disease (ICD) is F00-F03 (dementia in Alzheimer's disease, vascular dementia, unspecified dementia, etc.). As independent variables, we used sex, age, type of insurance, the admission route, length of stay, result of treatment, number of hospital beds, and the hospital's location. In this study, the independent variables affecting MRI examination of dementia patients were length of stay, hospital location, and CCI. The ratio of MRI examination of patients with dementia in which the CCI was 1, was significantly higher by 1.757 times than in cases where the CCI was 0. Hence, it can be used to provide basic data for formulating health care policy for dementia patients by studying their overall situation.
