Abstract

Introduction. Among all noncommunicable diseases, cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain a leading global public health problem, affecting one third of the world’s adult population, making them a growing epidemic of the 21st century. Purpose of the study is to determine the status and dynamics of hospital morbidity and mortality of the adult population of the Dnipropetrovsk region and Dnipro city from CVDs for the period 2018–2025. Materials and methods. A retrospective analysis of health status was conducted based on the incidence of hospitalized patients and hospital mortality among the adult population of Dnipropetrovsk region and Dnipro city from CVDs. Results. It was established that CVDs occupy the 1st rank in the structure of general hospital morbidity of the adult population of Dnipropetrovsk region, both on average for the period 2018–2025, and in different subperiods and by annual indicators. At the same time, in the city of Dnipro, the level of hospitalization of the population with CVDs since 2022 occupies the 2nd rank, inferior to injuries, poisoning and some other consequences of external causes. Mortality from CVDs in hospitals of the Dnipropetrovsk region and Dnipro city by the average value of 2018–2025 was 2.4 times higher compared to the general level and characterized by a tendency to increase. Conclusions.
