Outline of Final Research Achievements

In the Kumamoto Earthquake 2016 that occurred in April 2016, 51 patients were determined to be hospitalized due to venous thrombosis until the end of May 2016 after the earthquake. Forty-two out of 51 people registered (82.4%) had a car night. It was clarified that the patient outcome such as the development of pulmonary thromboembolism was poor in the group that experienced overnight stay in the car. In addition, even in the occurrence situation of various cardiovascular diseases, it was not possible to suppress only the onset of venous thrombosis, but in the future, preventive enlightenment activities using mass media will prevent the onset of venous thrombosis due to overnight stay in the car. It may be possible to reduce it.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究は全県調査を施行したことにより、熊本地震2016における静脈血栓塞栓症、急性大動脈解離を含む各種心血管疾患の罹患数を含む患者像が明らかになった。また震災関連死ならびに直接死の実態も明らかになった。これまでの災害における実態と比較することで、今後の減災・免災に貢献出来得る。
