Abstract

Aim of study. Investigation of the dynamics of incidence of the skin and subcutaneous tissue diseases in the population and evaluation of the mortality from these diseases. Material and methods. During the study, data on primary and overall incidence, mortality and the mean age of the population who died from the skin and subcutaneous tissue diseases within the period of 2009-2019. The group contribution of the mortality from complications of these diseases to the average life expectancy decline has been studied. The increment rate (%) was calculated for evaluation of the dynamics of the indices. Assessment of the relations between the indices was performed via the Spearman’s rank-order correlation. Results. Over the period from 2009 to 2019, the overall and primary incidence of skin and subcutaneous tissue diseases in the population demonstrated a decrease by 21.54% and 27.67%, respectively, in Krasnoyarsk; by 9.55% and 11.87%, respectively, in the Siberian Federal District; by 8.89% and 17.33%, respectively, in the Russian Federation. We have revealed statistically significant correlations between the overall incidence and the contribution to the life expectancy (r=-0.745, p=0.008), overall incidence and mortality (r=-0.682, p=0.021), mortality and the contribution to the life expectancy (r=0.936, p<0.001) as well as between the mortality and mean age at death (r=0.800, p=0.003). Conclusion. Diseases of the skin and subcutaneous tissue remain a severe medical and social problem. The correlations revealed between the incidence and mortality testify to the low detection rate of skin diseases, which points at the necessity to increase the quality of detection and diagnosis of this group of diseases in the Krasnoyarsk Krai territory in order to decrease the mortality from their complications and increase the life expectancy for the population of this region.
