Objective: The aim: To evaluate the long-term dynamics of health losses caused by ambulatory care sensitive conditions (ACSCs) to justify the priorities of public policy regarding this group of diseases.
Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: The data used were obtained from the Institute of Health Metrics and Evaluation, the European database "Health for All", for 1990-2019. The study was conducted using bibliosemantic, historical and epidemiological study methods.
Results: Results: Disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) due to ACSC over 30 years in Ukraine averaged 5145.4 years per 100,000 population (95% CI 4731.1 -5559.7), which is approximately 14% of DALYs of all reasons without a clear trend of change - compound annual growth rate (CARG) of 0.14%. These five causes -angina pectoris, chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD), lower respiratory infections, diabetes, and tuberculosis - account for 90% of the disease burden associated with ACSCs. There was an increasing trend in DALYs (CARG varied for different ACSCs in the range of 0.59-1.88%), except for COPD, where the decrease in CARG reached -3.16%.
Conclusion: Conclusions: This longitudinal study found a small trend toward increased DALYs due to ACSCs. State measures to influence modified risk factors to reduce the burden of losses from ACSCs proved to be ineffective. To significantly reduce DALYs, a more clear and more systematic healthcare policy regarding ACSCs is needed, which includes a set of primary prevention measures, and organizational and economic strengthening of the primary health care.

Chest pain is one of the most common chief complaints seen in both the emergency department (ED) and primary care settings.1,2 It is estimated that 20-40% of the general population will suffer from chest pain at some point throughout their lives.3 Interestingly although obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) prevalence has declined, chest pain as a presenting symptom has become increasingly common over the last decade.

Background: Alcohol-associated hepatitis (AH) leads to high rates of mortality and health care costs. Understanding the immediate costs after an AH diagnosis and identifying key cost factors is crucial for health care policies and clinical decisions.
Objectives: This study quantifies medical costs within 30 days of an AH diagnosis across outpatient (OP), emergency department (ED), and inpatient (IP) settings.
Clinical Outcomes after Revascularization in Patients with Chronic Limb-Threatening Ischemia.

Chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) occurs in the advanced stage of peripheral artery disease and is associated with high risks of mortality and amputation. Universal management strategies are not always applicable, owing to population diversity, and the Western trials may not be applicable to Japanese patients, owing to differences in demographics and clinical profiles. This paper examines the outcomes of revascularization in Japanese CLTI patients and emphasizes the benefits of tailored management.

Efforts to improve healthcare services have been ongoing, particularly in equipping emergency departments (EDs) to handle pediatric cases. However, many EDs continue to lack specialized equipment and adequately trained personnel, exposing children to significant health risks. This study aimed to identify self-reported barriers among emergency physicians in managing pediatric patients and assess their confidence levels in pediatric care.

Aims: While it is widely accepted that intravenous (IV) iron improves functional capacity, symptoms, and cardiovascular outcomes in patients with heart failure (HF) with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) diagnosed with iron deficiency (ID), three recently published cardiovascular outcome trials (AFFIRM-AHF, IRONMAN and HEART-FID) of IV iron supplementation in HF failed to demonstrate a significant benefit on their respective primary endpoints. Dosing of IV iron after the initial correction of baseline ID - by design or as a result of trial circumstances - was relatively low (i.e.
