Abstract

Introduction: Heart failure is the third most common cause of death after coronary artery disease and stroke. If we monitor the mortality of such a fatal disease, we can control the disease more in our study. Therefore, we aimed to create a mortality trend by taking the data of deaths due to heart failure in Turkiye in the last ten years.
Methods: We obtained population estimates for Turkey from the TurkStat website. Age- and sex-specific and age-standardized rates (ASRs, using the World standard population and the method of direct standardization) were calculated. Mortality trends from heart failure were assessed using the Joinpoint regression analysis. Statistical analysis was carried out with the Joinpoint software, version 4.9.0.0. We considered p values less than 0.05 to be statistically significant.
Results: We found Turkey's 10-year standardized mortality rate is 20.63%. The highest mortality rate is in the western Marmara; the lowest one is Eastern Karadeniz. We observed a significant increase in mortality at 10 years in the total population.(p:0,008). We detected a significant growth between 2009 and 2016 (p< 0.001) and a significant decrease after 2016 (p:0.047)
Conclusion: We obtained standardized mortality rates of heart failure patients in Turkey between 2009 and 2019 according to age, sex and years. We showed the overall mortality reduction after 2016.

Abstract

Giriş: Kalp yetmezliği, koroner arter hastalığı ve inmeden sonra en sık üçüncü ölüm nedenidir. Bu denli mortalitesi yüksek bir hastalığı kontrol altına alabilmek için öncelikle ölüm oranlarını bilmek gerekir. Biz çalışmamızda Türkiye'de son on yılda kalp yetmezliğine bağlı ölümlerin verilerini alarak bir mortalite trendi oluşturmayı hedefledik.
Yöntemler: Türkiye için nüfus tahminlerini TÜİK web sitesinden elde ettik. Yaşa ve cinsiyete özel ve yaşa göre standardize edilmiş oranlar (Dünya standart popülasyonu ve doğrudan standardizasyon yöntemi kullanılarak ASR'ler) hesaplandı. Kalp yetmezliğinden ölüm eğilimleri Joinpoint regresyon analizi kullanılarak değerlendirildi. İstatistiksel analiz, Joinpoint yazılımı 4.9.0.0 sürümü ile gerçekleştirildi. 0,05'ten küçük p değerleri istatistiksel olarak anlamlı kabul edildi
Bulgular: Türkiye'nin 10 yıllık standardize ölüm oranını %20.63 olarak bulduk. En yüksek ölüm oranı batı Marmara'da; en düşük oran Doğu Karadeniz’dedir. Toplam popülasyonda 10 yılda mortalitede önemli bir artış gözlemledik(p:0,008). 2009-2016 yılları arasında önemli bir artış (p< 0.001) ve 2016 sonrası önemli bir düşüş (p:0.047) tespit ettik.
Sonuç: 2009-2019 yılları arasında Türkiye'deki kalp yetmezliği hastalarının yaş, cinsiyet ve yıllara göre standartlaştırılmış ölüm hızlarını elde ettik. 2016'dan sonra kalp yetmezliğinin genel mortalite düşme eğilimindedir.
