Abstract

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), digestive diseases will be one of the leading causes of morbidity in the 21st century, along with cardiovascular diseases (Lancet, 2023). According to the United European Gastroenterology (UEG) report, more than 332 million people in the European region live with digestive disorders. HAIs account for a significant proportion of gross domestic income spent on healthcare, both globally and in Ukraine (Peery et al., 2015; Peery et al., 2019). According to the Center for Public Health of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine in 2023, digestive diseases ranked 4th in the prevalence of diseases among the adult population of Ukraine and were in 3rd place among the causes of all hospitalized individuals in hospitals in Ukraine among the adult population (533308 cases, 8,87%) – 1584,91 per 100 thousand people and was second only to diseases of the circulatory system - 1st place (1294827 cases, 21,53%) – 3848,02 per 100 thousand people and neoplasms (651840 cases, 10,84%) – 1937,17 per 100 thousand people (medstat.gov.ua 2023). In Ukraine, gallbladder diseases are the most common reasons for hospitalization of people with digestive diseases, and acute cholecystitis is the most common reason for hospitalization for surgical treatment (medstat.gov.ua, 2023).
