Analysis of morbidity and prevalence of cardiovascular diseases in the world and in Ukraine
The article presents the results of the analysis of morbidity and prevalence of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) in the world and in Ukraine. According to the results of the analysis of the incidence of CVD in the regions of Ukraine in the years (2013-2015), it was established that the highest rates were in the Nykolayev region. In the analysis of CVD prevalence in the countries of the European Union (EU) and Europe, it was found that over the last decade, prevalence increased by 1.12 times in all the countries studied except Georgia. In Ukraine, prevalence among the male population increased 1.07 times, and among the female population - 1.11 times, respectively. Due to the significant discrepancy between the average epidemiological indicators for the level of morbidity in the regions of Ukraine, we distributed the regions into three groups. The largest were groups of regions with a low and with an average incidence (in 9 regions). Due to the constant increase in the incidence and prevalenceamong the population of the CVD, the assessment of health technologies (HTA) is becoming topical, one of which is the organization and implementation of state programs on the accessibility and effectiveness of medical care, as well as the prevention of diseases.
