Factors influencing the use of health services by trauma patients according to insurance type and injury severity score in South Korea: Based on Andersen's behavioral model.

ABSTRACT: This study aims to understand the difference in trauma patients' use of health services in Korea according to insurance type and the Injury Severity Score. Andersen's behavioral model of health service use is employed to identify the factors influencing their use. Claims data from January 1 to December 31, 2016 were extracted from both the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service and the automobile insurance screening center for all the medical treatments identified with the Korean Triage and Acuity Scale and Injury Severity Score. Using the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service's remote statistical analysis system, hierarchical regression and negative binomial analyses were conducted to determine the effect of predisposing, enabling, and need factors on health service use.
