Abstract

BACKGROUND: The preventive direction of medicine has become increasingly popular in recent years. The government has paid much attention to the health of the population and preventive examinations. Among the main priorities of the state, the health of the pediatric population remains a guarantee of a healthy nation.

AIM: To assess the health status of the pediatric population of the new territories of the Russian Federation and develop measures to further improve medical care at the regional level.

MATERIAL AND METHODS: The study enrolled children aged 0–17 years living in the new territories of the Russian Federation, namely, the Donetsk People’s Republic, Luhansk People’s Republic, Zaporozhye oblast, and Kherson oblast. A total of 32 teams of specialists from 30 territories of the Federation have been formed to conduct in-depth preventive medical examinations of the pediatric population of these new territories.

RESULTS: The study participants were predominantly children aged 0–14 years. The overall morbidity in all regions was dominated by diseases from the five classes according to ICD-10, namely, diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue; endocrine, nutritional, and metabolic diseases; of the eye and adnexa; and disorders of the nervous system, respiratory system, and psychological development. Half of the study participants were diagnosed with a disease for the first time in their lives.

In the Russian Federation, the high proportion of healthy children is due to the contingent of the child population, and the third group of health with better detection of diseases due to the in-depth nature of preventive medical examinations. The distribution into groups for physical education corresponded to health groups. According to the preventive medical examinations results, more than a third of the total number of examined children was transferred to dispensary supervision. Emergent and urgent cases and mental disorders require measures under stable conditions.

CONCLUSION: The results of the preventive medical examinations can be the basis for subsequent therapeutic, diagnostic, and rehabilitation work by medical organizations and preventive and health-improving activities by educational institutions.
