Insights
This study reveals a high morbidity rate of circulatory diseases in Sliven district
Area of Science:
- Public Health
- Epidemiology
- Cardiology
Background:
- Understanding the total morbidity rate is crucial for public health planning.
- Circulatory diseases represent a significant health burden in rural populations.
- Previous data on rural Sliven district's circulatory disease rates were limited.
Purpose of the Study:
- To analyze the morbidity rate of circulatory diseases in the rural population of Sliven district.
- To determine the prevalence of both diagnosed and latent circulatory conditions.
- To provide a comprehensive epidemiological overview for targeted health interventions.
Main Methods:
- Described basic principles for studying total morbidity rates.
- Analyzed morbidity data based on patient visits to healthcare facilities.
- Conducted complex medical examinations on a representative population sample to identify latent cases.
Main Results:
- Established a diagnosed morbidity rate of 30,236 per 100,000 for circulatory diseases.
- Identified a latent morbidity rate of 12,658 per 100,000 through medical examinations.
- Calculated the actual total morbidity rate for circulatory diseases to be 42,895 per 100,000.
Conclusions:
- The actual prevalence of circulatory diseases in rural Sliven is significantly higher than initially reported.
- A substantial number of latent cases necessitate enhanced screening and early detection programs.
- Data stratified by age-sex groups and specific diseases will inform tailored public health strategies.
Abstract:
The basic principles of the methods used in the study of the total morbidity rate of the rural population of Sliven district are described in the present paper and the same time morbidity rate of the diseases of the circulation organs are analyzed. The level of the morbidity rate of the diseases of circulation organs, according to the visits of the rural population in the district was established to be 30236% 000. With the complex medical examination of the physicians' brigade of the representative sample from the population observed a latent morbidity rate was established to the extent of 12658% 000, i.e. the actual morbidity rate of rural population of the diseases of the circulation organs in the district was 42 895% 000. The morbidity rate according to age-sex groups and nozological forms was analyzed in the present paper.
