EPIDEMIOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF OSTEOARTHRITIS AND TOTAL ARTHROPLASTY

Abstract

Background. In the field of osteoarthritis study, both epidemiological and clinical researches are carried out. If
epidemiological studies can identify the prevalence and risk factors for the development of the disease, then clinical studies
reveal the prospects for drug and interventional therapy of osteoarthritis.
Search strategy. We have performed a search and analysis of relevant information of English-language and domestic
sources published over the past 10 years. The search for English-language resources was carried out in the scientific
database Pubmed (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov), to work with sources in Russian and Kazakh, the scientific electronic
library e-Library (https: //elibrary.ru) was used.
The Pubmed database was searched for: (Osteoarthritis [Mesh]) And Osteoarthritis / Epidemiology [Mesh] (153 results),
(Osteoarthritis [Mesh]) And Osteoarthritis / Surgery [Mesh] (480 results), as well as (“Arthroplasty, replacement, knee /
epidemiology” [Mesh]) and “Osteoarthritis” [Mesh] (59 results) (“Osteoarthritis, replacement”, “Hip / epidemiology”) [Mesh] (66
results). The eLibrary resource searched in Russian and English for the keywords: osteoarthritis, hip joint replacement,
coxarthrosis, gonarthrosis, (4 results).
The criteria for inclusion in the review were: search depth: from January 1, 2009 to October 1, 2018; publication
languages: English, Kazakh, Russian; age of study participant: 18 years and older; methods of intervention: surgical; type of
articles - full-textured epidemiological and clinical studies.
The results of the study. A total of 762 articles were found. For the subsequent analysis, 33 articles were selected that
met the inclusion criteria and excluded duplication or repetition of information.
Conclusion. The results of this review study showed that the prevalence of OA remains equally high throughout the
world, and temporal trends reflect a trend towards an increase in morbidity due to an aging population and an increase in the
proportion of obese patients. The highest epidemiological indicators of large joint arthroplasty (arthroplasty) for OA are
traditionally observed in countries with a high standard of living. However, the widespread introduction of high-tech standards
of medical care for patients with coxarthrosis and gonarthrosis in the Republic of Kazakhstan requires further study.
