The aim of this study was to define variations in vascular activity that may exist between different demographic regions of the UK.
Five regions were studied. Data were obtained on OPCS codes for vascular surgery 1994-95 from the Department of Health or Welsh Office. Mortality and cause of death statistics were calculated for each region from OPCS data.
Ranges of vascular reconstruction, iliac and superficial femoral artery angioplasty and major amputation were 26.2-44, 10.5-23.0 and 11.5-15.7 per 100,000 population, respectively. The highest rates of amputation were seen in areas of high standard mortality and highest death rate from atheroma and ischaemic heart disease. Rates of amputation also rose in proportion to the number of men in the population aged > 60 years.
Variations exist in vascular activity between different regions. This may be caused by demographic differences in the population. It needs to be considered when calculating the number of vascular surgeons required in different areas of the country.
本研究的目的是确定英国不同人口统计学区域之间可能存在的血管活性差异。
对五个区域进行了研究。从卫生部或威尔士事务部获取了1994 - 1995年血管外科手术的OPCS编码数据。根据OPCS数据计算每个区域的死亡率和死亡原因统计数据。
血管重建、髂动脉和股浅动脉血管成形术以及大截肢的范围分别为每10万人26.2 - 44例、10.5 - 23.0例和11.5 - 15.7例。截肢率最高的地区是标准死亡率高以及动脉粥样硬化和缺血性心脏病死亡率最高的地区。截肢率也与60岁以上男性人口数量成比例上升。
不同区域之间存在血管活性差异。这可能是由人口统计学差异导致的。在计算该国不同地区所需血管外科医生数量时需要考虑这一点。
