Frequency and Likelihood Avoid Recurrence Hydatid Disease: Methodological Aspects

Abstract

Aim. To substantiate the advantages and possibilities of an uniform presentation of the material for recurrent echinococcosis after surgical treatment.
Material and Methods. The article has debatable character. We presents simulated results of a statistic study of recurrence echinococcosis. The frequency and probability to avoid recurrent echinococcosis are presented.
Results. The frequency of recurrence and the likelihood to avoid recurrent echinococcosis are distinct indicators which complement each other. The probability to avoid recurrence defines more accurately long-term results of echinococcectomy and allows to calculate prognostic value of the frequency of recurrence within different terms after intervention.
Conclusion. Common methodological approaches to the presentation of the material for recurrent echinococcosis through the rate and the probability to avoid recurrence are necessary to achieve a common understanding of the effectiveness of measures against recurrence and to summarize materials of various publications.
