РЕГИОНАЛЬНЫЕ ОСОБЕННОСТИ СМЕРТНОСТИ ОТ БОЛЕЗНЕЙ СИСТЕМЫ КРОВООБРАЩЕНИЯ В КОНТЕКСТЕ РЕГИОНАЛЬНОЙ ПРОГРАММЫ ПО СНИЖЕНИЮ СЕРДЕЧНО-СОСУДИСТОЙ СМЕРТНОСТИ

Abstract

The relevance is determined by the high proportion of diseases of the circulatory system in the structure of the total mortality of the population, as well as the potential modifiability of external factors of pathology. The aim of the research is to study the regional epidemiology of mortality from diseases of the circulatory system in the context of a regional program to reduce it. Materials and methods - аn analysis of the structure and dynamics of mortality rates from diseases of the circulatory system and the peculiarities of the organization of medical care for the population of the Astrakhan Region with cardiovascular diseases for the 7-year period from 2014 to 2020, based on the data of the Medical Information and Analytical Center and the Office of the Federal State Statistics Service for the Astrakhan Region, was carried out. Results and discussion - diseases of the circulatory system rank first in the structure of total mortality in the Astrakhan region, which accounted for about half (48%) of all deaths in 2020. During the study period, an increase in mortality from diseases of the circulatory system was established by 2.8% with a sharp increase of 17.6% in 2020 compared to 2019, which is associated with the spread of coronavirus infection. At the same time, the proportion of deaths outside the hospital was 65% in 2020. It’s indicates both the late seeking of medical care and the shortcomings of dispensary observation of the category of citizens with the maximum risk of developing cardiovascular complications. In the structure of mortality from diseases of the circulatory system, ischemic heart disease is steadily leading, with an increase of 5.8% over the reporting period. The second place is occupied by cerebrovascular diseases, which showed a slight decrease by 3.3%. In addition to the infectious threats associated with the spread of the coronavirus COVID-19, it is necessary to take into account such a stable phenomenon as the progressive aging of the population when predicting the mortality rate for the coming years. Conclusion. Research findings can be used to adjust activities to health care organizations for patients with cardiovascular diseases at the regional level.
