Abstract

Introduction. The conducted epidemiological studies show a significant socio-economic burden borne by modern society due to the high prevalence of varicose veins of the lower extremities among the able-bodied population of developed countries. Aim. Assessment ofthe influence ofthe factor of widespread use of minimally invasive inpatient replacement technologies on the prevalence of varicose veins of the lower extremities in a large region of the Central Federal District of the Russian Federation under the conditions of transformation of approaches to the treatment of varicose veins of the lower extremities. Materials and methods. A retrospective study was conducted for 2011–2021 of statistical indicators of the work of medical organizations of the Yaroslavl region, namely: the total number of attached adult population, the dynamics of the number of attached population, the total number and dynamics of the number of patients with an established diagnosis of varicose veins of the lower extremities. Results and discussion. The total population weight of the sample in the Yaroslavl region for all periods of the study was 11 406 181 people. The fixed weighted average value of the prevalence of varicose veins of the lower extremities at the end of the year in the Yaroslavl region in the period 2011–2021, according to medical organizations providing medical care on a territorial-precinct basis, was 0.784% (CI: 0.779–0.789). At the same time, in 2011–2012 and 2018–2019, the frequency of varicose veins of the lower extremities event was higher than the average value, in 2013–2016 and 2020–2021. Conclusion. It has been established that over the past decade there has been an annual decrease in the prevalence of varicose veins of the lower extremities in the region. At the same time, there was an increase in the share of medical care provided to patients by non-governmental medical organizations. The latter in their activities are focused on hospital-substituting technologies in the treatment of this disease.
