Aim: We mapped the situation within a group of diseases of the circulatory system (I00-I99) in the Slovak Republic during 1996-2014. We focused mainly on spatiotemporal differences in mortality while controlling for age and sex.

Methods: We performed binary logistic regression aiming to reveal socio-demographic factors that influence the odds of dying due to diseases of the circulatory system (I00-I99). In our analysis, the dependent variable was death diagnosis and the independent variables were age, region, gender, and marital status.

Results: Our findings suggest that odds of dying due to diseases of the circulatory system (I00-I99) increased for every year of age by 5.4%. Within the period from 1996 to 2014, the risk of dying from diseases of the circulatory system decreased by 2% every year. We also documented the fact that being female raised the odds of dying due to diseases of the circulatory system (I00-I99) by 12.9% compared to males. Furthermore, it could be argued that serious differences in terms of regional distribution of deaths caused by diseases of the circulatory system (I00-I99) exist in the Slovak Republic.

Conclusions: We present the development of diseases of the circulatory system (I00-I99) in the Slovak Republic. Differences in spatial distribution of deaths are documented as well as related gender differences. Our study can serve as a tool for policy makers and benchmark for professionals.
