Western region: features of the incidence and prevalence of chronic cystitis

Abstract

The paper presents the results of a ten-year (2008–2017) analysis of morbidity, prevalence of chronic cystitis among both sexes of the adult population of the Western region in terms of regions, as well as in terms of all-Ukrainian data. The primary material was the official statistical reports of medical institutions of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine. Two five-year periods were allocated to clarify the dynamics and nature of its changes. It was found that in contrast to the increase in registered patients in Ukraine as a whole at the expense of women, in the region there is a steady decrease in both women and men with a stable preservation of third place in the overall structure. The number of newly diagnosed patients in the region increased by 5.4% in 2013–2017 (by 11.6 and 5,7% among women and men, respectively), while in Ukraine by 2.1% only among women (by 12.4%) to 2992 and 15112 in 2017, respectively. Interregional peculiarities in the region have been traced and it has been established that the situation in it is formed by Lviv, Ivano-Frankivsk and Chernivtsi regions. The nature of changes in absolute values †and intensity is similar.
