Demographic Characteristics and Trends of Hydatid Disease in Kyrgyz Republic: A Comprehensive Analysis from 1986 to 2022
Abstract
Background: Hydatid disease (HD), caused by Echinococcus granulosus larvae, is a significant public health problem worldwide. Kyrgyzstan has a high prevalence of hepatic HD, with a two to three-times increase in teenagers. Hospitalisation is often required during the critical phase. We aimed to assess the current demographic situation of patients with HD in the Kyrgyz Republic.
Methods: This study investigated the epidemiological characteristics of patients with HD in the Kyrgyz Republic using state statistics, annual infectious disease reports, epidemiological examination records, and Center for State Sanitary and Epidemiological Surveillance reports.
Results: The study found that the incidence of HD in the Kyrgyz Republic has been increasing, with a moderate increase and yearly growth rate (GR) of 3% over the long-term dynamics of the prevalence of HD in the population. The study also found that the prevalence of HD in children has a significant yearly rise, with a moderate GR from 1986 to 2004 and an estimated moderate trend with a yearly GR of 3.2%
from 2005 to 2022.
Conclusion: The prevalence of HD in the Kyrgyz Republic has increased significantly over the past three decades, particularly in the southern region, which includes Osh, Batken, and Jalal-Abad.
