20.500.12556/RUL-179917 Inpatient burden, costs, and characteristics of peripheral artery disease in Slovenia research data from the project Hospitalno breme, stroški in značilnosti periferne arterijske bolezni v Sloveniji raziskovalni podatki projekta Aims: We assessed inpatient burden, costs, demographics, co-morbidity patterns, and outcomes of peripheral artery disease (PAD) in Slovenia. Methods: We included patients hospitalised for PAD (primary diagnosis international classification of disease, tenth revision code I70.2–I70.9) in Slovenia between January 1st, 2015, and December 31st, 2022. We estimated crude and age-standardised hospitalisation rates, hospitalisation reimbursement costs, patient characteristics (age and sex distribution, disease severity and prevalence of co-morbidities), uptake of revascularisation, major amputations and in-hospital mortality. Results: We included 15,978 patients (60% men, median age 72 years, 32% chronic limb-threatening ischemia) with 27,139 hospital episodes yielding a mean of ~3,400 hospitalisations per year (hospitalisation rate 161 per 100,000/year). Median direct cost (inflation-adjusted to 2025) per hospital episode was €3,177, yielding total costs of €10.8 million/year. The most common co-morbidities were arterial hypertension (35%), dyslipidemia (21%) and diabetes mellitus (19%), with a significantly higher prevalence in patients with chronic limb-threatening ischaemia. During the observation period, revascularisation procedures increased from 77.5% to 80.2%, while major amputations decreased from 13.2% to 7.9% and mortality decreased from 5.0% to 3.3%. Conclusion: The inpatient burden of PAD is considerable in Slovenia. Patients hospitalised for PAD have a high burden of co-morbidities, especially when presenting with chronic limb-threatening ischaemia; nonetheless, in-hospital major amputations and mortality decreased substantially over the last decade. Namen: Ocenili smo stopnjo hospitalizacij, direktne stroške, značilnosti bolnikov in breme sočasnih bolezni ter bolnišnične izide zaradi periferne arterijske bolezni (PAB) v Sloveniji. Metode: V analizo smo vključili bolnike, hospitalizirane zaradi PAB (glavna diagnoza I70.2–I70.9 po Mednarodni klasifikaciji bolezni, 10. izdaja) v Sloveniji med 1. januarjem 2015 in 31. decembrom 2022. Ocenili smo stopnjo hospitalizacij, direktne stroške, značilnosti bolnikov (starost, spol, izraženost bolezni in sočasne bolezni) ter delež revaskularizacij, velikih amputacij uda in bolnišničo umrljivost. Rezultati: Vključili smo 15.978 bolnikov (60 % moških, mediana starost 72 let; 32 % s kronično kritično ishemijo uda) s 27.139 hospitalizacijami, kar predstavlja povprečno ~3.400 hospitalizacij/leto (stopnja hospitalizacij 161,4 na 100.000 prebivalcev/leto). Mediani direktni stroški (prilagojeni za inflacijo do 2025) so bili 3.177€ za hospitalno epizodo oziorma 10,8 milijonov €/leto. Najpogostejše sočasne bolezni so bile arterijska hipertenzija (35 %), dislipidemija (21 %) in sladkorna bolezen (19 %); statistično značilno so bile pogostejše pri bolnikih s kronično kritično ishemijo uda. V opazovanem obdobju je delež revaskularizacij narasel s 77,5 na 80,2 %, medtem ko je delež velikih amputacij upadel s 13,2 na 7,9 %, umrljovost pa s 5,0 na 3,3 %. Zaključek: Breme hospitalizacij zaradi PAB je v Sloveniji precejšnje. Hospitalizirani bolniki s PAB imajo veliko breme sočasnih bolezni, zlasti ko gre za kronično kritično ishemijo uda. Kljub temu so velike amputacije in bolnišnična umrljivost pri bolnikih s PAB v zadnjem desetletju znatno upadle. peripheral artery disease chronic limb-threatening ischemia intermittent claudication hospitalisation mortality periferna arterijska bolezen kronična kritična ishemija intermitentna klavdikacija hospitalizacija umrljivost true false false Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Vse slovenske bolnišnice 2015-2022 Neznano 2026-02-26 21:34:08 2026-03-01 21:00:06 2026-03-02 04:17:41 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2026 0 0 0000-00-00 NiDoloceno NiDoloceno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 PAD-podatki.docx PAD-podatki.docx PAD podatki 1 FC08C4B51D877BCF521CC8FF103052A4 82382bbcaefada4f4a969b1af17799118d909bdb8f012e85aa5fa701e013f660 6bc2af82-1352-11f1-a1ba-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=228856 Atherosclerosis-main-df.csv Atherosclerosis-main-df.csv Atherosclerosis main df 1 7E472E3689516B6023FF26B418BFB2B5 3d7b1c0ff1310cfeb750c1493a80dafdc704d05b37eda386723fbac05571b0f4 01d8d1ae-15ac-11f1-a1ba-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=229082 Medicinska fakulteta Združevanje 0 0 0
