Abstract

The incidence of community-acquired pneumonia is an urgent problem of modern healthcare due to its high prevalence, which creates an additional burden on intensively working healthcare systems. An analysis of the epidemiological situation with this nosology over a ten-year period is relevant, since it will allow developing or adjusting measures to reduce the incidence and prevent community-acquired pneumonia in the Republic of Tatarstan. The purpose of this study — to study the dynamics and trends in the incidence of community acquired pneumonia in the population of the Republic of Tatarstan for the period 2012–2021. The study used data from official statistical information of the Office of the Federal Service for Supervision of Consumer Rights Protection and Human Welfare in the Republic of Tatarstan, statistical reference books of the Center for Hygiene and Epidemiology in the Republic of Tatarstan for 2012–2021. The design of the study is a descriptive and evaluative epidemiological study as part of a retrospective epidemiological analysis of the incidence of CAP in the Republic of Tatarstan for 2012–2021. with an analysis of the long-term dynamics of the incidence of the population of the Republic of Tatarstan with the calculation of intensive incidence rates. When assessing the long-term dynamics of the incidence (2012–2021) of community-acquired pneumonia in the Republic of Tatarstan, a trend towards an increase in the incidence was revealed at an average rate of 27.4 ± 0.5 % per year (ρ = 0,748, р < 0,005) (2,3). The indicated trend rate increased the incidence of CAP over 10 years from 451.3 cases per 100 thousand us to 934.3 per 100 thousand us, or 2 times (2.3). The obtained results of assessing the incidence of community-acquired pneumonia over a ten-year period in the Republic of Tatarstan indicate the need for a detailed analysis of the monitoring system for patients with community-acquired pneumonia, as well as the need to improve it to increase the level of preventive measures.
