Abstract
Actuality. The growth of inflammatory diseases of ENT organs and associated purulent-septic intracranial complications is an urgent problem of modern otorhinolaryngology. Severe complications associated with sepsis and inflammatory lesions of the membranes and brain matter are life-threatening conditions for otorhinolaryngological patients.Objective. To study the epidemiological situation of inflammatory diseases of the ENT organs and associated purulent-septic intracranial complications in the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic.Materials and methods. Data of official statistics, electronic databases, statistical reports of the Ministry of Health of the KabardinoBalkan Republic, data of outpatient’s medical records and hospital medical records of multidisciplinary medical and preventive institutions, data on the prevalence of diseases of ENT organs in the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic from 2011 to 2018 among adults and children.Results and conclusions. The results obtained reflect a significant increase in inflammatory diseases of the ENT organs in the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic from 2011 to 2018. both in the number of reported cases and in the primary incidence. Despite the decrease in the number of inpatient ENT beds in the Republic in 2013, the number of patients treated increased. The reduction of ENT beds entailed an increase in hospital mortality, which is represented exclusively by ENT-associated intracranial complications. Today, the Republic has a rather high level of ENT-associated intracranial complications associated with low prevention and diagnosis of inflammatory ENT diseases, which dictates the importance of using a multidisciplinary approach (ENT doctor, neurologist, ophthalmologist, resuscitator, therapist, neurosurgeon), the need for review management tactics, development of algorithms for the diagnosis and optimal treatment of patients with ENT-associated HFD.
