Structure of reproductive losses

Aim. To assess the dynamics of reproductive losses in Perm during the period of 2006 to 2016.

Materials and methods. The following statistical forms were analyzed: 13 “Data on abortion”; 32 “Data on medical care rendered to pregnant, parturient women and puerperas”; 14 “Data on hospital activity” in Perm over the period from 2006 to 2016, taking into account changes in live birth criteria, registered in 2012.

Results. Decrease in reproductive losses is an important reserve for improving demographic situation. Reproductive losses are the losses of conception product at all the stages of fetus development, caused by spontaneous and stimulated abortion, dead birth as well as death of first-year of life children. For the analyzed period, increase in the number of labors by 8 times and reduction in the number of medical abortions (losses - 71 %) was noted. In the structure of pregnancies with abortive outcome, the share of extrauterine pregnancy remains at the same level. A threefold decrease in dead births is observed.

Conclusions. Reproductive losses in Perm are the following: I place - early miscarriage; II - extrauterine pregnancy; III - late miscarriage; IV - mortinatality. The place, occupied by the losses of desired pregnancies, becomes more and more significant. That is why we need to accentuate specialists’ attention on the problems of family planning, pregravid preparation and management of pregnancy at early terms.
