Abstract.
Objectives. To identify the main patterns of primary incidence of mycoses in the Republic of Belarus for the period from 2013 to 2022.
Material and methods. A retrospective analysis of the primary incidence of mycoses of all forms was carried out according to the data from the state statistical reporting forms of the Republic of Belarus. Statistical processing of the data was carried out using the Statistica 10.0 software package and Microsoft Office Excel 7. To establish the structure and long-term dynamics of morbidity, extensive (%) and intensive indicators per 100,000 of the population were calculated (0/0000).
Results. In the structure of patients firstly diagnosed with the disease over the 10-year observation period, urban residents predominated, their share amounting to 82.7%. Their average long-term intensive rates of primary morbidity (12480/0000) exceeded those of rural residents (851.10/0000) by 1.45 times (p<0.001). The structure of the disease primary cases was dominated by women (62.4%), who had mycoses 1.42 times more often than men (p<0.001). The proportion of persons aged 0-17 years among newly diagnosed patients with mycoses of all forms is 13.5%. The long-term average level of primary morbidity among children was 1.56 times less than that among adults – 781.50/0000 and 1222.810/0000, respectively (p<0.001).
Conclusions. Dynamics assessment of primary incidence of mycoses of all forms in the Republic of Belarus from 2013 to 2022 indicates a decrease in the primary detection of cases both among the whole population in general and in each of the studied population groups. The highest value of the average growth rate, indicating a pronounced tendency towards a decrease in primary incidence of mycoses, was recorded in men (Tpr.av=-6.35%). When assessing the territorial characteristics of the risk for primary incidence of mycoses of all forms based on data data for the 10-year observation period, it was established that the average long-term risk level of mycoses of all forms in the Republic of Belarus was 1158.90/0000.
