Insights
National trends show decreasing rates of circulatory diseases (DCS), cerebrovascular diseases (CVD), and strokes in Ukraine. However, stroke incidence increased significantly from 2010-2017, despite overall reductions in morbidity and mortality.
Area of Science:
- Public Health
- Epidemiology
- Cardiovascular Research
Background:
- Cardiovascular diseases (CVD), cerebrovascular diseases (CVD), and strokes represent significant global health challenges.
- Understanding national trends in morbidity and mortality is crucial for effective public health interventions.
Purpose of the Study:
- To analyze national trends in the prevalence, morbidity, and mortality of circulatory system diseases (DCS), cerebrovascular diseases (CVD), and strokes in Ukraine.
- To compare these trends with global patterns.
Main Methods:
- Utilized official statistical data from Ukraine.
- Performed systematic analysis and generalization of collected data.
- Calculated trends in morbidity and mortality rates for DCS, CVD, and strokes.
Main Results:
- Observed decreasing national trends in prevalence and primary morbidity for DCS (-16.3%, -28.0%), CVD (-22.8%, -24.1%), and strokes (-12.2%).
- Identified a significant increase in stroke primary incidence (+83.9%) between 2010-2017.
- Reported a reduction in deaths from DCS (-11.6%) and CVD (-19.1%) between 2013 and 2019.
Conclusions:
- National trends in Ukraine show a reduction in DCS, CVD, and stroke rates.
- These findings align with global trends of decreasing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease burdens.
- Continued monitoring is essential, particularly regarding the rising stroke incidence observed in specific periods.
Objective:
The aim: To determine national trends in morbidity and mortality from diseases of the circulatory system, cerebrovascular diseases and strokes.
Patients And Methods:
Materials and methods: Data from official sources of statistical information of Ukraine were used and systematic analysis and generalization of the obtained data was performed and trends in morbidity and mortality from diseases of the circulatory system, cerebrovascular diseases and strokes in Ukraine were calculated.
Results:
Results: Were found tendencies to decrease of national levels of prevalence and primary morbidity in Ukraine for DCS (-16.3 % and -28.0 %), CVD (-22.8 % and 24.1 %) and strokes (-12.2 %) with significant trends (+83.9 %) of increase in primary incidence of strokes in 2010-2017 with fairly high and threatening levels for 2017 (respectively 22199563, 2521601 and 96978 - prevalence and 1725137, 290557 and 96978 - primary incidence). National levels of reduction of deaths from DCS in Ukraine from 440369 (2013) to 389348 (2019) with a trend of -11.6 % and a decrease in mortality due to CVD from 94267 (2013) to 76232 (2019) with a trend -19.1 % were found.
Conclusion:
Conclusions: The trends to reduce of national prevalence, primary morbidity and mortality rates in Ukraine for DCS, CVD and stroke are fully consistent with other global trends of reduction of these levels among world countries.
