EVALUATION OF THE EFFECTIVENESS OF SYSTEMIC PATHOGENETIC PHYSIOTHERAPY BASED ON RANDOMIZED COMPARATIVE RESEARCH

Abstract

Introduction. The burden of polypathy is recognized by the medical community of the planet as a “global problem” of medicine and healthcare, the solution of which lies in the optimization of not only diagnostics, traditional treatment and prevention, but also physiotherapeutic rehabilitation of patients. The purpose of the research. To evaluate the effectiveness of systemic pathogenetic physiotherapy for age-related polypathy based on correlation and variance analysis of indicators (OR, RR, Q, x2, r2). Materials and methods. During the period 2017–2021, the Kyrgyz Research Institute of Balneology and Rehabilitation Treatment, systemic pathogenetic physiotherapy was used in 811 patients with polypathies, including 322 (39.7%) men and 489 (60.3%) women. We identified two cohorts of patients: group 1 — 328 (40.4%) patients aged 45–59 years; group 2 — 483 (59.6%) patients aged 60–74 years. The ratio of middleaged and elderly patients was 1:1.4. Results. The effectiveness of systemic pathogenetic physiotherapy in patients with polypathies was judged primarily by documentary (medical history, procedural charts of patients) and mathematical data (OR, RR, Q, x2, r2). Based on the analysis of the results of the study of a particular method, the level of evidence of the effect of systemic pathogenetic physiotherapy was determined. Conclusion. The frequency of a positive result of systemic pathogenetic physiotherapy in elderly patients is higher than in middle-aged patients. The existence of a linear relationship between the effectiveness of systemic pathogenetic physiotherapy and the decisive factor — the elderly age of patients with polypathies.
