ACUTE PANCREATITIS IN AKMOLA REGION ACCORDING TO EMERGENCY SURGERY

Background: Acute pancreatitis is a major issue in surgical practice, with high complications and mortality rates. It severely affects patient quality of life and places a significant economic strain on healthcare systems, making its study crucial for public health. This study aims to analyze trends in acute pancreatitis incidence in the Akmola region from 2009 to 2022. Materials and methods: The study is based on a retrospective analysis of data from the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Kazakhstan according to the International Classification of Diseases-10 code: K85. Methods of health statistics and time series analysis were used to assess the dynamics of morbidity. Results: There was an increase in the total number of hospitalizations from 865 cases in 2009 to 1.061 in 2022. The percentage of surgical interventions decreased from 5.7% to 4.2%, while the share of conservative treatment increased to 95.8%. The mortality rate among operated patients was 20.4% in 2019 and increased to 33.3% in 2022. The incidence of hospitalization increased from 117.1 per 100000 population in 2009 to 144.6 per 100000 population in 2022, with a decrease in the rate of late visits from 42.6 to 36.1 per 100000 population, respectively. Conclusion: It has been established that for patients in the second group according to the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery strategy, hemodynamic support and effective pain management can contribute to early patient mobilization after surgery. Early mobilization, in turn, can expedite recovery and reduce the length of hospital stay, ultimately leading to potential cost savings. Conclusion. The study highlights the need to improve medical approaches to acute pancreatitis in the Akmola region. The results indicate the critical importance of early diagnosis and timely hospitalization to reduce complications and mortality. Additional research is needed to develop more effective clinical protocols.
