CEREBROVASCULAR PATHOLOGY IN PRIMORSKY KRAI: DISEASE INCIDENCE AND PROBLEMS OF TREATMENT
The paper provides data about the incidence rate of cerebrovascular diseases in Primorsky Krai during four years (2009-2012). As reported, the cerebrovascular pathology remains the single source of incidence and death rates in the region. It accounts for over 36.5 % of first diagnosed disease cases of all the blood circulation system diseases that exceeds the Russian Federation and the Far Eastern Federal District indices. This unfavourable situation arises from the deficit of skilled personnel (neurologists, neurosurgeons, and angioneurologists), weak material and technical resources of public health services and defects of vascular centre management.
