ANALYSIS OF MORTALITY OF PATIENTS WITH DIABETES MELLITUS IN THE SAMARA REGION

Significance: analysis of the mortality structure of patients with diabetes mellitus makes it possible to obtain information not only about the disease outcomes, but also to assess dynamics in epidemiological indicators of complications of diabetes mellitus, especially their terminal stages, which is one of the key effectiveness indicators of medical and rehabilitation measures. The purpose of the study: to conduct a dynamic analysis of the level and structure of mortality of patients with diabetes mellitus in the Samara region for the period from 2000 to 2017. Material and methods: the object of the study was a depersonalized database of the state register of diabetes mellitus in the Russian Federation and the Samara region and the death registration form of patients with diabetes mellitus of the annual report on diseases of the endocrine system. The mortality rates were calculated, the structure of mortality of patients with diabetes mellitus was analyzed according to the ICD-10 disease classes individually for diabetes mellitus type 1 and 2. Results: trends in the dynamics in mortality of patients with diabetes mellitus in the Samara region generally correspond to the Russian ones. Significant differences in the trends in mortality rates in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus have been identified: the mortality rate in the Samara region increases against the background of the decreased indicator in the Russian Federation, and different vectors of the dynamics in mortality from atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases are registered. Conclusion: the main reason for changes in the long-term decreasing trend in mortality from diabetes mellitus in the Samara region in 2010-2017 was changes introduced to the procedure for registering causes of death. When entering data into the state register of diabetes mellitus, if the cause of death is indicated as "diabetes mellitus", it is mandatory to indicate the direct cause of death. A limited list of basic mortality indicators of patients with diabetes mellitus is proposed, which can serve as indicators for the dynamic assessment of the epidemiological situation with complications of diabetes mellitus, as well as objective criteria for effectiveness of the ongoing medical and rehabilitation measures.
