Abstract
A steady increase has been reported recently in the prevalence of pancreatic diseases among the chronic non-communicable diseases. Official statistics of chronic pancreatitis in Ukraine still remain unclear. As for today, chronic pancreatitis is not recorded as a separate nosology in the forms of the Statistics Center of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine, but as a part of the whole pancreatic diseases group.
During 2015, about 1 mln of patients with pancreatic diseases had been registered in Ukraine. The situation shows that the growth rate of pancreatic diseases prevalence is significantly higher than the growth rate of the overall prevalence of digestive diseases. The tendency of increasing incidence of pancreatic diseases in the adult population is up to 30%.
The number of cases of hospital treatment for acute pancreatitis had been decreased by 13%, while the proportion of hospitalizations within 24 hours was 37.6%.
Postoperative mortality in acute pancreatitis for the last 7 years was successively reduced by 14% until 2013, when it amounted 10.84%. However, in 2015 there was a growth of this index to 13.1, that is, for 2 years (2014-2015), postoperative mortality increased by 21.3%.
Postoperative mortality in cases of late hospitalization does not tend to decrease, and for 6 years was grown by 12.9%.
In 2015, index of abdominal ultrasound performed per 10 thousands amounted to 2142.2.
CT index performed per 10 thousands increased compared to 2009 by 32.2%.
A smaller share was allotted to MRI index, the rate of which was 0.4 per 10 thousands, which is 20% less then than in 2009. The ratio of ultrasound to CT and MRI was 99.9 vs. 0.88 and 0.03%.
