Abstract

During examination of the regional indexes of  prevalence and morbidity of duodenum peptic ulcer (PU) in Kharkov and Dnepropetrovsk regions and tendency of their development, the high growth rates of PU prevalence in Ukraine as well as in indicated above regions has been determined. Regional domination of PU morbidity growth rate in Khakov region has been established.  It exceeds the similar index in Ukraine by 87 % with maximum increasing in 2004 by 63, 6 %. Reducing of the number of first time diagnosed PU cases in subsequent years can be explained not only by more effective medical technologies but also by the lack of diagnostic capabilities of medical service, imperfect management of the patients at the dispensary observation stage that leads to an increase of severe complications and necessity of surgical intervention.
