Abstract

Purpose: to study and analyze the incidence of acute viral hepatitis C in the years 2001–2017 in the Dnipropetrovsk region in comparison with the indicators in Ukraine, and to determine the trends and rates of growth.

Materials and Methods. The morbidity analysis was conducted using the epidemiological method. Trends in the incidence calculated in terms of growth and increase.

Results. The dynamics of the incidence of acute viral hepatitis C in Ukraine and in the Dnipropetrovsk region as a whole and in separate territories in the period from 2004 to 2017 was wavy, with a more pronounced tendency to lower rates in Ukraine. The average incidence rate in the region was (2.04±0.11) per 100.000 population (95 % CI 1.81–2.27), the average rate of growth was (98.48±4.70) % versus (1.72±0.12) per 100 thousand population in Ukraine (p <0.05), average growth rate – (95.18±3.25) %. The high incidence of acute viral hepatitis C in the cities of the oblast was noted (2.30±0.13) per 100 thousand), which in 1.34 times exceeded its level in the city of Dnipro (p <0.01) and in 1.55 times – the corresponding indicator in rural areas (p <0.001).

Conclusions. The incidence of acute viral hepatitis C in the Dnipropetrovsk region and in Ukraine tends to decrease. To implement a global WHO strategy for viral hepatitis, a comprehensive screening program is needed to plan effective prevention and anti-epidemic measures.
