Abstract

Body donation trends in Korea have changed significantly over the last 3 decades. Establishing a body donation system will promote donations to universities for academic purposes. Yonsei University College of Medicine started its own body donation system in 1992, including documenting donors' records. However, there has been no reported attempt to analyze the trend of these records, which could provide noteworthy information that can be interpreted for medical advances. This study performed a statistical analysis of the donors' records between 1992 and 2019 to analyze the sociological and anthropological changes. Donor personal information such as sex, age, religion, and place and cause of death were extracted from the Yonsei University College of Medicine database. Our statistical analysis revealed significant correlations between donors' records and the changes in the number of geriatric hospitals, religious beliefs, number of donations, and donor age.

摘要

在过去三十年里，韩国的遗体捐赠趋势发生了显著变化。建立遗体捐赠系统将促进向大学捐赠遗体用于学术目的。延世大学医学院于1992年启动了自己的遗体捐赠系统，包括记录捐赠者的信息。然而，尚未有报道尝试分析这些记录的趋势，而这些记录可能提供值得关注的信息，可用于解读医学进展。本研究对1992年至2019年期间捐赠者的记录进行了统计分析，以分析社会学和人类学方面的变化。从延世大学医学院数据库中提取了捐赠者的个人信息，如性别、年龄、宗教信仰、死亡地点和死因。我们的统计分析揭示了捐赠者记录与老年医院数量、宗教信仰、捐赠数量和捐赠者年龄变化之间的显著相关性。
