Frequency of congenital malformations in the ecological zones of rural areas of the Republic of Dagestan

Abstract

One of the indicators of the health of the child population is the frequency of congenital malformations (CMD), which include volume and death. The incidence rate of congenital malformations is one of the objective indicators reflecting the socio-economic and environmental well-being of society. The frequency and structure of significant congenital malformations vary not only in different states, but also within and within the territory of one country. The purpose of this study was a retrospective assessment of the features of the epidemiology of congenital malformations in children by ecological zones and resources in the risk zone of Dagestan in 2015–2019. The WPR in Dagestan is characterized by intensive growth over a 5‑year period, as well as a wide range of emissions across ecological zones and administrative regions of limited territories and cities. In the environmental monitoring zone in 2016, the CPP showed 67.1 %, and in 2017 — negative — 2.3 %, in the foothill environment there was a positive and fluctuating from 83.3 % in 2016 to 2, 3 % — in 2017. In the mountainous environment observed in 2016 and 2017. The CPP was controversial, at 28.1 % and 20.0 % respectively. In Dagestan, for 5 years, the CPP was estimated, although it fluctuated significantly over the years. The problems of CM deserve closer attention, and not only and not so much in terms of epidemiological and environmental plans. Prevention of congenital malformations is one of the environmental problems in the field of health protection.
