Morbiditatea spitaliceasca prin cancer de col uterin - Romania, 2009

Cancer is responsible for a large share of deaths, worldwide as well as in Romanaia, and induces high costs (for individuals, health system and society), proved to be one of the most burdensome diseases.Lately, problems induced by cancer in women are increasing, due to the raise in incidence, but mainly to the high mortality rate of cervix cancer. Hospitals having obstetrics-gynecology departments are the main medical units who provide specialized services for diagnosis, staging and treatment of cervix cancer; the most of cervix cancers cases are recorded in hospital care sector, and the analysis of hospital morbidity may offer a pretty fair picture of the phenomenon. The present paper presents some results of the analysis of the hospital morbidity trough cervix cancer, in hospitals who reported clinical data at patient level, during the first eight months of the year 2009.Key words: geographic distribution of hospitalizations, the profile of hospitalization, surgical procedures for cervix cancer in hospitalCancerul este responsabil pentru o mare parte dintre decese, atat la nivel mondial, cat si in Romania, si induce costuri mari (la nivel individual, sistem de sanatate si societate), dovedindu-se a fi una dintre cele mai impovaratoare afectiuni. Problematica indusa de cancer in randul femeilor cunoaste o amploare crescuta in ultimul timp, ca urmare a incidentei in crestere, dar mai ales a ratei mari de mortalitate pe care localizarea la nivelul colului uterin o determina. Spitalele in care exista o sectie de obstetrica-ginecologie reprezinta principalele unitati medicale in care se acorda servicii specializate, in vederea diagnosticarii, stadializarii si tratarii cancerului de col uterin; cea mai mare parte a cazurilor de cancer de col uterin sunt inregistrate in asistenta spitaliceasca, iar analiza morbiditatii spitalicesti poate oferi o imagine destul de fidela a fenomenului. Articolul de fata prezinta rezultate ale analizei morbiditatii spitalicesti prin cancer de col uterin, la nivelul spitalelor care au raportat date la nivel de pacient, in primele 8 luni din anul 2009.Cuvinte cheie: distributia teritoriala a spitalizarilor, profilul spitalizarilor, interventii chirurgicale in cancerul de col spitalizat
