The aim of this study was to analyze the medical care and determinants of outcomes in patients with hip fracture. Epidemiological data was received from official statistic for cases of hip fractures and from primary care physicians. 208 cases of hip fractures were revealed during 2008-2009 (52 men and 156 women). The part of the hospitalized patients comprised 37,0%. Other patients either didn‘t apply to a hospital (57 people), or were refused in hospitalization (74 people). Operative treatment was received by 12,5% of patients with hip fracture. The lethality after a hip fracture within 1 year was high — 41,4°%. Thus, the low level of surgical care and the serious consequences of hip fractures and low level of the surgical help dictate the need for the development of the Russian standard to help these patients.

Compared to European countries, the incidence of hip fractures in Russia is significantly lower. The reasons for such a discrepancy have been studied insufficiently. It is known that in Russia, not all patients with hip fracture are hospitalized. The aim of the present study was to obtain the best possible precise data on epidemiology of osteoporotic fractures in older population. 208 cases of hip fractures were revealed during 2008-2009 (52 men and 156 women). 57 (27,4%) of them haven't been registered in official statistics and were consulted only by the primary care physicians. The incidence of hip fracture make up 191,9/100000 person-years (125,4 men and 233,2 women). The official statistics doesn't give the objective information on number of hip fractures, and search for patients treated only in a primary care settings is necessary in order to receive objective information.

Objective. To determine the roles of primary care physicians and specialists in the medical care of children with serious heart disease. Setting. Pediatric Cardiology Division; Tertiary Care Children's Hospital. Subjects. Convenience sample of parents, primary care physicians, and pediatric cardiologists of 92 children with serious heart disease. Design. Questionnaire study; questionnaires based on 16 medical care needs, encompassing basic primary care services, care specific to the child's heart disease and general issues related to chronic illness. Results. All children had a primary care physician (PCP), and both they and the parents (P) reported high utilization of PCP for basic primary care services. However, there was little involvement of PCP in providing care for virtually any aspect of the child's heart disease. Parents expressed a low level of confidence in the ability of PCP in general or their child's own PCP to meet many of their child's medical care needs. Both PCP and pediatric cardiologists (PC) were significantly more likely than parents to see a role for PCP in providing for care specific to the heart disease as well as more general issues related to chronic illness. PC and PCP generally agreed about the role PCP should play, although PC saw a bigger role for PCP in providing advice about the child's activity than PCP themselves did. PC were less likely to see the PCP as able to follow the child for long term complications than PCP did. PC were more likely than PCP to believe that PCP were too busy or were inadequately reimbursed to care for children with serious heart disease. Only about one-third of parents reported discussing psychosocial, family, economic, or genetic issues with any provider, and PCP were rarely involved in these aspects of chronic illness. Conclusions. Primary care physicians do not take an active role in managing either the condition-specific or the more general aspects of this serious chronic childhood illness. With appropriate information and support from their specialist colleagues primary care physicians could provide much of the care for this group of children. Generalists and specialists are both responsible for educating and influencing parents about the role primary care physicians can play in caring for children with serious chronic illness.

Most of the nation's psychiatric care is provided by primary care physicians, and this trend is expected to continue. Primary care physicians see themselves as poorly trained in psychiatry, and evidence supports a high incidence of missed diagnosis and inadequate or inappropriate treatment. In addition, poor training may underlie the indifference to psychiatric problems often demonstrated by primary physicians. The Ohio Psychiatric Association Foundation has designated an annual award to be given to the primary care program which provides the best psychiatric training in the state, and the psychiatric training directors met to develop criteria for selecting the recipients. The resulting standards emphasize the importance of training which is relevant to a medical care setting, provided by psychiatrists, and supportive of the integration of psychiatric methods into-medical care.

Background: The male Canadian population is aging and more menwill be seeking medical care for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).We examined the projected increase in older Canadian males between2005 and 2018 to evaluate urologic health-care needs.Methods: We used Statistics Canada population projections toderive predictions of the male population aged 50 or more from2005 to 2018 and results from the Olmsted County Study of UrinarySymptoms to estimate numbers of males aged ≥50 with moderateto severe lower urinary tract symptoms (msLUTS) in the sameperiod. Data from the Canadian Institute for Health Informationwere used to estimate the number of urologists in 2018.Results: The number of Canadian men aged ≥50 is projected torise between 2005 and 2018 by 39.5% and the number withmsLUTS by 41.3%. However, the number of practicing urologistsin Canada in 2018 is likely to be similar to the 584 practicing in2007. An increase in the number of urologists proportional to theincrease in men aged ≥50 with msLUTS would require 799 urologistsin 2018.Interpretation: Little opportunity exists to expand the number of traineesin urology. Other alternatives must be sought to deal with increasednumbers of older men with msLUTS. Initial management of BPHhas moved towards being a responsibility of primary care physicians,but they appear to view BPH as a quality-of-life issue. It iscrucial that urologists work closely with primary care physicians toensure that the management of LUTS progression is optimized.Introduction : La population masculine canadienne vieillit, et deplus en plus d’hommes consulteront un médecin en raison d’unehyperplasie bénigne de la prostate (HBP). Nous avons étudié levieillissement prévu de cette population entre 2005 et 2018 afind’évaluer les besoins en soins urologiques.Méthodologie : À l’aide des projections démographiques de StatistiqueCanada, nous avons formulé des prévisions quant à la populationmasculine de 50 ans et plus entre 2005 et 2018; les résultatsde l’étude du comté d’Olmsted sur les symptômes urinaires nousont permis d’évaluer le nombre d’hommes de 50 ans et plus quidevraient présenter des symptômes modérés ou graves touchantles voies urinaires inférieures pendant la même période. Desdonnées de l’Institut canadien d’information sur la santé ont permisd’évaluer le nombre d’urologues en 2018.Résultats : Le nombre de Canadiens de 50 ans et plus devrait augmenterde 39,5 % entre 2005 et 2018, et le nombre d’hommesprésentant des symptômes modérés ou graves touchant les voiesurinaires inférieures, de 41,3 %. En revanche, le nombre d’urologuespratiquant en 2018 au Canada devrait être semblable aunombre établi en 2007 (soit 584). Pour que la hausse du nombred’urologues soit proportionnelle à la hausse du nombre d’hommesde 50 ans et plus qui présenteront des symptômes modérés ougraves touchant les voies urinaires inférieures, il faudrait que cenombre atteigne 799 en 2018.Conclusion : Il est peu probable que le nombre de médecins sespécialisant en urologie augmente. D’autres solutions doiventdonc être mises de l’avant afin de faire face au nombre croissantd’hommes âgés au prise avec des symptômes modérés ou gravestouchant les voies urinaires inférieures. La prise en charge initialede l’HBP incombe maintenant aux médecins de premiersrecours, mais ces derniers semblent considérer l’HBP comme unproblème de qualité de vie. Il est primordial que les urologuescollaborent étroitement avec les médecins de soins primaires pourassurer une prise en charge optimale des symptômes touchantles voies urinaires inférieures.

Target Values

In view of the high prevalence of hypertension (HTN) among Russian population, it becomes extremely important to meet the criteria for the medical care quality within the periodic examinations for this group of patients.Aim.  To assess the quality of follow-up monitoring of the adult population with grade 1-3 hypertension, with the exception of resistant hypertension (RH), by primary care physicians in different Russian regions.Materials and methods. As part of working visits of the expert group from the National Medical Research Center for Therapy and Preventive Medicine in 38 Russian regions in the period from February 1, 2020 to December 15, 2020, an analysis of ambulatory records of patients with grade 1-3 hypertension was carried out. A total of 3614 ambulatory medical records (AMRs) were analyzed, of which the grade 1-3 hypertension, with the exception of RH, was revealed in 764 ones. The analysis of records was carried out using an original checklist. Statistical processing was carried out using the software package IBM SPSS Statistics 20 (USA) and Microsoft Office Excel 2016 (USA).Results. An analysis of 764 AMRs was performed. The mean age of patients was 63,9-11,2 (women, 64,7-11,3 years; men, 62,7-10,9 years). The majority (58,9%) of participants were women. Follow-up monitoring was established in a timely manner in 450 people (58,9%) of patients, of which there were 189 men (42%) and 261 women (58%). In 87,9% (n=672) of cases, the diagnosis formulation met the established clinical guidelines criteria. In 36 cases (4,7%), there was no evidence in favor of hypertension according to the current clinical guidelines. In 21,1% (n=161) of cases, the minimum recommended periodicity of visits was not observed. In last visits of 323 patients, the blood pressure did not reach the target values. AMRs did not contain information on low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in 91б4% of cases (n=698). Among patients with a known level of LDL-C, the target values were achieved only in 15,2% of cases (n=10).Conclusion. Our analysis revealed the insufficient quality of outpatient medical care to hypertensive patients within the periodic examinations. Proposals are created for monitoring and measures to improve the quality of care for this category of patients.

Introduction.Arterial hypertension is one of the most serious problems of the contemporary health care. Within the qualimetric approach and quantification of “lifestyle” capacity. However, research papers dealing with the relationship impact medical care cardiac profile and complete realization of the potential of the lifestyles of patients, it is not enough. The purpose of the research is to explore the potential lifestyle hypertensive patients and its role in ensuring the effectiveness of the treatment.Materials and methods. The study was conducted on the basis of the medical organizations of the Kostroma region. Research methods: expert, sociological, analytical, statistical. Analysed data on 400 patients a cardiac profile: lifestyle parameters monitoring data of patients using the original automated management factors impact medical care Cardiac profile, data expert evaluation of physician lifestyles of the patient and the patient questionnaire survey, consisting of 8 questions.Results and discussion. Found that in patients with arterial hypertension has reduced the capacity of lifestyle for all its components, including the low level of medical activity, low level of medical awareness, inadequate recreational activity disregard for the principles of a balanced diet, the prevalence of bad habits. There are significant differences in the potential lifestyle of patients with low and high levels of treatment success, proving the importance of lifestyle modification patients, his healing in the practice of primary care physicians health.Conclusions and proposals. It is recommended that the monitoring capacity of the lifestyles of patients with arterial hypertension in the context of district clinics.
