Key result
Regional differences in Russian cardiac standardized mortality rates were significant in 2019, with an average SMR of 301.02±77.67, accounting for 30.5±5.8% of all deaths.
Why the study?
The study was conducted to analyze the contribution of cardiac causes to all-cause mortality, characterize regional differences in standardized mortality rates across Russia, and identify ways to improve coding of cardiovascular death.
Observational
Yes
There are significant regional variations in cardiac mortality rates and causes across Russia, suggesting inconsistencies in statistical recording and coding of cardiovascular deaths.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Regional variations suggest inconsistencies in Russian cardiac death coding; leaves open accurate estimation of atherosclerosis burden.
Samorodskaya et al. (2021) conducted an observational in Cardiac mortality. Region of residence was evaluated on Standardized mortality rates (SMRs) from cardiac causes. Regional differences in Russian cardiac standardized mortality rates were significant in 2019, with an average SMR of 301.02±77.67, accounting for 30.5±5.8% of all deaths.
