“…Interestingly, we found that most patients were admitted with more than one CVD (Table 2), with uncontrolled hypertension being the most frequently encountered CVD in this study. The stratification of hypertension according to types of CVDs showed that it constitutes the common risk factor for almost all types of CVDs involved in this study (Table 5), in agreement with numerous hospital-based studies worldwide [12][13][14][15][16][17]. Delay in treating hypertension leads to complications and, consequent, high mortality.…”

Background: Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are a major challenge confronting physicians in Hadramout Governorate. Little is known about the admission for CVD and outcome at Hadramout Modern Hospital. The aim of this study was to determine the frequency and pattern of CVD admissions in Hadramout Modern Hospital, Hadramout, Yemen. Materials and Methods: This retrospective cross-sectional study included all adult patients admitted for CVDs in the medical ward of Hadramout Modern Hospital from January 01 to December 31, 2023. Results: During the study period, a total of 1020 patients were admitted to the medical word, of which 158 (15.5%) cases were admitted with CVDs. There were 87 (55.1%) males, and the mean age was 58.09±15.08 years. There was a significant age difference between men and women (61.4 years vs. 54.04 years, p=0.002). The most commonly affected age group was those aged 55–64 (32.4%). Uncontrolled hypertension (81.6%), stroke (52.5%), heart failure (37.3%), and acute myocardial infarction (AMI) (36.1%) were the most common CVDs. The mean hospital stay was 7.93±2.83 (2–15 days). There were 220 total deaths in Hadramout Modern Hospital during the study period. Among them, 12 (5.5%) were due to CVDs with no significant sex difference (4 [5.6%] vs. 8 [9.2%]; p=0.549). Conclusion: Given the increasing burden of CVDs in our hospital, it is crucial to understand the epidemiological features of CVDs and their etiological factors to prioritize further research, prevention, and treatment strategies. Additionally, further research is needed in other governorates across the country to identify regions with the highest regional burden of CVDs so that policymakers can reallocate limited resources accordingly.

“…Epidemiological studies have played an important part in the elucidation of predisposing factors for COPD, CKD, acute pancreatitis and CLD and opportunities for prevention and treatment 2 . The present study is designed retrospectively to focus on prevalence of various COPD, CKD, acute pancreatitis and CLD and causes of mortality in patients admitted to respective speciality units 3 .…”

Background: A cross sectional study, to determine the endemicity, by systematic investigations in institutional settings to assess the prevalence of diseases. Methods: The study was conducted by observational method over a period of seven months regarding the prevalence of particular disease and disease with co-morbidities. Among the several diseases of distinct clinical spectrum, various risk factors may presumably be contributed. This is an epidemiological study conducted prospectively at tertiary care teaching hospital which is a 350 bedded super speciality hospital. This study was conducted for a period of seven months from August 2016 -February 2017 in order to evaluate the cases for endemicity11. Patients' demographic and diagnostic data between 20 to 80 years of age were collected from the patient's case survey. Objectives: The main objectives of the our study was to provide awareness about diseased non communicable endemic prevalence of conditions like Diabetes, Hypertension and habitats like alcohol consumption and smoking. The intention of this manuscript would help the clinician to intervening patient's relevant clinical and therapeutic issues for better future patient therapeutic perspective as well as to profile optimised and individualized care perspectives. This endemicity of diseases was correlated with socio-demographic parameters and patients over the age of forty years adults were included. Result: The predominant prevalence of the following diseases were in an ordinal rank as to be the first COPD, second CKD, third acute pancreatitis, fourth CLD and renal calculi respectively and so on the other miscellaneous diseases. We have also found the occurrence of diseases like COPD, CKD, acute pancreatitis and CLD and renal calculi were predominant than that of other diseases for a particular period of time in those who are institutionalized. This study would entail further investigations for the exact reason of such illness in an urban community or population as well. Conclusion: Epidemiological issues of non-communicable diseases endemicity have shown the maximum prevalence of COPD, next to the former CKD and acute pancreatitis respectively were observed in different departments of Institutional settings.
