Abstract
Objective: The value of the state and dynamics of the tuberculosis epidemiological situation among children and adolescents in Russia in the backdrop of introducing innovation technologies of tuberculosis care.
Methods: Basic tuberculosis epidemiological indicators for the last 20 years in Russia were studied. Forms of federal statistical monitoring #8, #33, and #47 were analyzed. Death rate was defined according to data of the Russian Federal State Statistics Service. Research methods: Epidemiological, statistical, expert evaluation, content-analysis of the literary source and legal acts.
Results: Current tuberculosis epidemiological situation among children and adolescents in Russia in the backdrop of introducing screening is characterized by a favorable trend. Tuberculosis morbidity rate among children under 14 years old decreased by 49.4 %, and it decreased by 55.1 % among children from 15 to 17 years old respectively. It led to a decline in tuberculosis disease rate among adolescents. During the last decade there was a decrease in tuberculosis death rate among children from 15 to 17 years old to 0.02, among children under 14 years old to 0.03 per 100,000 population.
Conclusion: The results of the research prove feasibility of using contemporary tuberculosis screening methods of the child population. It helps to significantly improve the quality of diagnosing this infection and tuberculosis epidemiological situation in Russia in general.
