The aim of this work - to estimate an association of metabolic syndrome (MS) with ischemic heart disease (IHD) in middle-aged Kaunas population and to propose the model for preventing prevalence of MS.
Material and methods. Analysis was performed for 1336 persons aged 35-64 years (603 men and 733 women) - the participants of health survey which has been carried out according to the MONICA study protocol. MS was defined by Adult Treatment Panel III criteria for the presence of three or more from five components: central obesity (waist circumference >102/88 cm (men/women)); fasting plasma glucose ≥6.1 mmol/l; triglycerides ≥1.7 mmol/l; high density lipoprotein cholesterol <1.04/1.3 mmol/l (men/women); systolic/diastolic blood pressure ≥130 and/or 85 mmHg. IHD was diagnosed as previous myocardial infarction, angina pectoris or ischemic changes in electrocardiogram. Lifestyle habits were evaluated using frequency questionnaire.

Aim of the paper: to analyze performance peculiarities of primary health care organizations (PHCO) and to propose possible ways for improvement.
Methods: the analysis of scientific literature of Lithuanian and foreign authors, analysis of legal regulating documents, analysis of the results of the questionnaire of managers of PHCO, analysis of the results of the interview with experts.
The object of research: performance assessment of primary health care organizations.
Results: PHCO quality assessment and assessment performed by administrative organizations are the most often types of PHCO assessment in Lithuania. The results of the research show that data evaluating PHCO performance are fragmented and reflect only certain areas of PHCO activities. The quantity of the data does not correspond to the needs of PHCP managers in the strategic planning and implementation process. The assessment of PHCO performance is not dynamic and adjusted to the changing environment conditions. Experts unanimously pointed the need for the development of present PHCO performance assessment system and the need for its unification.
Conclusions and practical recommendations:
1. Having done the analysis of scientific literature, we may conclude that problems of performance assessment are most often analyzed in business than in public sectors. The complex view to organization activities allows to analyze not only results of the organization, quality of performance but also to identify areas for... [to full text]
