Organizational and Methodical Approaches of Studying Infantile Mortality

The review reflects the relevance of the problem of infant mortality in the Russian Federation. Ap-proaches to the study of infant mortality were analyzed. The main risk factors for congenital patholo-gy of children, its conditioning by the presence of extragenital pathology of female mothers are pre-sented. The results of regional studies showing both the dynamics of infant mortality and its structure are reflected. The design approaches of infant mortality management, the latest technological devel-opments, achievements in basic and applied medical science are analyzed. The need to use task placement models in the maternity and childhood service aimed at timely diagnosis and preservation of the health of the child population has been demonstrated. The application of screening programs for the presence of congenital defects aimed at their early detection, optimal treatment and rehabilita-tion was assessed. The need to predict the formation of congenital fetal malformations in pregnant women in the first trimester of pregnancy is shown.
