[ANALYZING THE IMPACT OF HEALTH-SAVING TECHNOLOGIES ON THE LIFE QUALITY OF THE ELDERLY URBAN POPULATION WITH MULTIMORBIDITY (EXEMPLIFIED BY PATIENTS WITH ACUTE LOWER LIMB ISCHEMIA)].

ABSTRACT

As the population ages, the prevalence of chronic diseases increases and, accordingly, the probability of simultaneous occurrence of many chronic diseases among the elderly population increases, which affects the dynamics and prognoses of the underlying disease. Prevention of complications of concomitant semantics for the underlying disease seems to be a complex medical problem, the solution to which is aimed at improving the quality of life of patients. Based on the data obtained, the effect of polymorbidity on the course of acute lower limb ischemia (ALLI) was studied in the elderly urban population. The purpose of the study is to analyze the effect of multimorbidity on the life quality of the elderly urban population, exemplified by patients with acute lower limb ischemia. MATERIAL AND METHODS: 91 patients with ALLI (n=91) were examined, the mean age equaled to 70±1.2 years, with thromboembolism against the background of arterial occlusion. RESULTS: The age of patients is one of the highest risks and must be taken into account when deciding on surgical intervention and further therapy for ALLI. RESEARCH LIMITATIONS: The study had no administrative restrictions. CONCLUSION: It was found that the value of the comorbidity index in patients with acute lower limb ischemia is associated with the severity of the underlying disease and characterizes the predicted decrease in the probability of a 10-year survival and the risk of death.
