The analysis of circulatory system morbidity in adult population in the city of Voronezh

Aim. To analyze the incidence rates of certain cardiovascular diseases in the adult population of Voronezh.Material and Methods. The primary source of information for the assessment of incidence rates was medical-statistical data on healthcare encounters in the form of state statistics reports of medical organizations No. 12 "Information on the number of diseases recorded in patients living in the service area of the medical organization" for the 2014-2018 period. To provide an opportunity for territorial comparison of incidence rates, the relative indicators were calculated per 1000 population of the corresponding age (adults). The indicator dynamics were estimated by the rate of incidence increase in the last year (2018) relative to the first year of the period analyzed (2014) according to the intensive morbidity indicators for each age group.Results. Diseases, characterized by high blood pressure (51.8%), including cerebrovascular diseases (18.1%) and ischemic heart disease (16.8%) were predominant in the structure of circulatory system diseases in the city of Voronezh. The incidence rate analysis of certain cardiovascular diseases in the adult population in the intra-city areas of Voronezh showed significant variations. The study demonstrated an increase in the incidence of circulatory system diseases in adults living in Voronezh relative to the corresponding value in 2014. The increase rate of medical care encounters was 14.65%, including the cases of diagnosis established for the first time in life (14.05%).Conclusions. Knowledge of information on the incidence of diseases in adult population living in certain intra-city areas may allow to rationally optimize the resources of the urban healthcare system to improve the availability and quality of medical care for adults with cardiovascular diseases at the pre-hospital stage.
