Analysis of statistical indicators of congenital anomalies as causes of early neonatal death in the Russian Federation

Abstract

The article contains the analysis of Rosstat data for 2012–2016 on early neonatal death due to congenital developmental anomalies. From 2012 to 2016 there was an annual progressive decrease in the number of early neonatal deaths (from 6969 to 4113) in the Russian Federation. The total number of newborns died in the first 168 hours of life due congenital anomalies decreased from 1126 (2012) to 759 (2016), while the values of early neonatal mortality decreased from 366.4 to 217.8. However, the proportion of such infants increased from 16.2% (2012) to 18.5% (2016) from the total number of deaths in the early neonatal period. The type of defects and the frequency of their registration as the initial cause of early neonatal death differ in the federal districts of the Russian Federation and there are certain gender differences.Conflict of interest: The authors of this article confirmed the lack of conflict of interest and financial support, which should be reported.

“…Заболевания данной группы врожденных аномалий системы кровообращения явились, согласно данным Росстата в целом по Российской Федерации за 2012-2016 годы, первоначальной причиной ранней неонатальной смерти в 352 наблюдениях, что составило 1,3% от всех наблюдений гибели новорожденных в первые 168 часов жизни [9]. При этом врожденные аномалии системы кровообращения были еще реже расценены в качестве основного заболевания в случаях мертворождения (в 0,14% и 0,26% от всех мертворожденных в 2010 г. и в 2012 г. соответственно) [10].…”
