The dynamics of infant mortality and fetoinfantile losses in the territories of the Far Eastern Federal District

The article presents a retrospective analysis of statistical data on infant mortality in the subjects of the Far Eastern Federal District (FEFD) in the period 2012–2023.The aim of the study was to study the features of the dynamics of the infant mortality rate (including early neonatal mortality), as well as the indicators of perinatal mortality, stillbirth and fetoinfantile losses in the territories of the Far Eastern Federal District in comparison with the data for the Russian Federation for 2012-2023. In the Far Eastern Federal District, as in Russia as a whole, for several decades there has been a positive trend in reducing mortality in children up to 1 year. This is considered one of the important achievements of the region in the socio-economic and medical spheres. A detailed analysis and comparison of infant mortality rates in certain regions of the country is an important tool that allows you to quickly identify the most disadvantaged regions of the Russian Federation, and then understand in detail the causes of the current situation and its correction. It is concluded that there are areas with a low level of prevention of fetoinfantile losses and significant differences in the medical and social efficiency of the maternity and childhood service are assessed.
