MAIN CAUSES OF INFANT DEATH DEPENDING ON MEDICAL AND SOCIAL FACTORS IN DIFFERENT REGIONS OF THE REPUBLIC OF TAJIKISTAN

The purpose of the study. Determination of the main medical and social factors in the cause of the death of newborns.

Research material and method. To determine the structure of child mortality in the Republic of Tajikistan, in the years 2017-2021 and 9 months of 2022, from the selected cities and districts (the cities of Kulob, Bokhtar, Panjakent, Istaravshan, Khujand, Konibodom, Isfara, Vahdat, Tursunzoda and the districts of Bobojon Gafurov, Rudaki, Rasht, Faizabad and Sh. Shahin) data on child mortality were collected and entered into special questionnaires.

Research results. The preliminary results of the analysis show that in most cases (61.5%) children died in the early neonatal period, a third of the deaths of infants in the early neonatal period occurred mostly in the first 6 days after birth. The age of the mothers of the dead children is mainly between 20 and 29 years old (62.2%), and this condition is almost the same in all regions.

Conclusion. All this indicates that the mothers of the dead children had a low health index. 47.2% of mothers suffered from complications during pregnancy (gestosis, polyhydramnios, hypohydramnios, eclampsia and pre-eclampsia, nephropathy, etc.). During childbirth, there was also a lot of dust (premature birth, dirty water with meconium, etc.) and a cesarean section.
