THE NOSOLOGICAL STRUCTURE OF MORTALITY FROM CIRCULATORY SYSTEM DISEASES in 2006 and 2013

Abstract

The article provides the results of the assessment of mortality parameters from circulatory system disease (CSD) in Russia in the period from 2006 to 2013. The comparative analysis of the nosological structure of causes of death from CSD was performed. Standardized mortality ratio from CSD decreased by 29,1 % in 2013 compared to 2006. Mortality rates caused by CSD prevail in total mortality rates, in particular in the >75 years age group, accounting for 70 % of all deaths. The vast number of deaths was caused by coronary artery disease, i. e. the cases that were not related to acute coronary events. Mortality rates after myocardial infarction (MI) have declined in all age groups < 80 years. Due to the increase in mortality rates after MI in the age groups > 80 years, there was no significant shift in mortality rates after MI in the total population. Recent amendments to the nosological coding of causes of death make difficult to perform the comparative assessment of mortality rates in a number of CSD. However, there was a significant number of deaths from SCD, which clinical interpretation is complicated by the current classification coding, thus, raising problems in the planning and organization of medical and social care, aimed at reducing mortality from SCD.
