Abstract Aim To get economic arguments for population-based interventions to reducing the consumption of alcohol in the Russian Federation. Material and Methods Studies of international practice on the implementation of population-based preventive measures to reducing alcohol consumption was carried out in order to identify interventions with proven effectiveness. We used the official statistics data collected by Ministry of health on the number of patients, health care resources utilization. Directs nonmedical costs included disability payments. Indirect costs included decreased productivity due to premature mortality and disability. Results Russian Federation has on the moment rather strong legislation in the area of alcohol regulation, but still there is a potential for further improvement. Increase in the price for alcoholic beverages by 10% in the Russian Federation can potentially prevent 7 477 potential years of life lost, the prognosed economic effect due to premature deaths reduction will be 42 002 523€ for 5 years. Increase in the minimum age for alcohol sales from 18years to 21years can save 48 920 potential years of life lost in Russian population, and the economic effect will be 279 912 075€ for 3 years. Reducing the permissible limit of blood alcohol concentration in vehicle drivers to 0.03mg/ml will allow to gain 8 834 673€ of economic effect for 3years.The deprivation of driving license for longer period after drinking and driving will give economic 916 809€ for 1 year due to prevent 217fatal accidents in alcohol intoxicated condition. And the effect of a complete ban on advertising alcoholic beverages in all media will give potential impact of 678 437 773€ for 10years Conclusions There are still potential for improvement the legislation in the area of alcohol control in Russian Federation. Described interventions demonstrate substantial potential economic effect. These data can be used as an argument for policy makers to justify the investments in these interventions Key messages The main results obtained in the simulation demonstrated the possibility of improving the prognosis of mortality and morbidity from NCDs associated with alcohol consumption. These data can be used as an argument for policy makers to justify the investments in these interventions.

Aim. To conduct a review of international studies and guidelines on the implementation of population-based preventive measures aimed at reducing alcohol consumption, and identify measures recommended by the World Health Organization, which have the potential for use in the Russian Federation.Material and methods. We used the following databases: PubMed, Science Citation Index, Scopus, The Campbell Collaboration Library of Systematic Reviews. The review includes systematic and non-systematic studies of measures related to alcohol consumption. The effectiveness of the identified measures was assessed according to the following criteria: behavioral changes (consumption/sales/level); incidence changes; mortality changes.Results. According to international practice of population-based prevention, effective measures that can be implemented in the Russian Federation include reducing the blood alcohol concentration legal driving limit, increasing the minimum legal drinking age, a complete ban on alcohol advertising, and a further increase in excise taxes.Conclusion. In the Russian Federation, significant progress has been achieved in implementing alcohol restriction measures, which has led to a reduction in its consumption and related consequences. Despite this, levels of alcohol consumption remain high and the potential for introducing population-based measures to reduce it has not been exhausted.

Based on the analysis of citizens’ claims against medical organizations, as well as on the basis of the analysis of the courts’ consideration of such claims, significant differences were found in the amount of compensation for non-pecuniary damage under various conditions related to both the condition of the victim of medical assistance rendered with defects and on the number of patients. It was shown that it is necessary to further accumulate material in order to obtain a more objective picture of satisfied claims and unification in the Russian Federation. Similar calculations can be carried out for other situations related to the possibility of causing moral harm, for example, disseminating information defaming the honor and dignity of a citizen, or compensating moral harm caused by unlawful actions of a law enforcement officer during criminal proceedings. Using the established average values, the court can, on the basis of established factual circumstances, calculate the amount of compensation for non-pecuniary damage in a particular case.

Background. An effective system for management of pediatric dermatological care in Russia requires taking into account the peculiarities of regional morbidity. According to modern literature, this issue is not sufficiently developed. Our aim was to study the characteristics of variability in the incidence of skin and subcutaneous tissue diseases of children aged 0–14 years in the Russian Federation. Methods. The data of the state medical statistics on 83 territorial entities of the Russian Federation for 2009–2015 was used. The analysis implemented the risk aggregation method. The degree of variability in regional morbidity was assessed by the range of variation and the coefficient of variation. Region rankings were carried out by the annual incidence. The Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient was used to study the stability of regions belonging to a certain ranked place. Results. In 2009, the incidence of skin and subcutaneous tissue diseases of children aged 0–14 years in the Russian Federation had a pronounced variability: the range of variation was 7.7 times, the coefficient of variation was 28%. The annual region rankings were carried out. In 2010–2015, the annual variability indices remained high. The coefficients of rank correlation when distributing regions by morbidity were in the range of 0.75–0.94 compared to 2009. Quintiles of regions with different levels of pediatric dermatological morbidity were singled out. Conclusion. The incidence of skin and subcutaneous tissue diseases in children aged 0–14 years in the territorial entities of the Russian Federation during 2009–2015 had a pronounced variability. Regions had a stable preference for a certain ranking place. The division of territorial entities of the Russian Federation into groups of pediatric dermatological morbidity are presented.

The study is devoted to the objects of unfinished construction (hereinafter - UCO). The problem of the UCOs is urgent both for the regions and for the Russian Federation as a whole. The main reasons for the large number of the unfinished construction objects are analyzed in the paper. The global experience of solving the issue of long-term construction is considered. The unfinished objects spoil the architectural outlook of the city, while the lands are used inefficiently and the necrosis of capital occurs. In Russia, as a rule, conservation of these objects is not done that creates a real threat to life and health of people. The state and society cannot count on the economic effect of these objects, and they do not justify the goals and the means invested in them. Based on the conclusions drawn, measures are proposed that will allow preventing the suspension of the objects under construction at the moment, and complete the construction of the objects that begun earlier.

The paper presents the design, general characteristics of and possibilities of data usage from the All-Russian register of patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA).The purpose of creating and introducing the register into Russian healthcare practice is to evaluate the effectiveness of the diagnosis and treatment of PsA. The All-Russian register of PsA patients was created for the period 2016–2018 within the framework of the All-Russian register of patients with arthritis «OREL» on the basis of the V.A. Nasonova Research Institute of Rheumatology and with the support of the All-Russian public organization «Association of Rheumatologists of Russia». This system is an all-Russian population-based register that allows for the recording and monitoring of patients with PsA throughout the follow-up period. This enables healthcare specialists and organizers to obtain reliable information on the state of care for this category of patients in the region.The main purpose of the register is to provide necessary information support and automated technology for solving the problems of accounting, controlling, and monitoring of the status of PsA patients and to organize information interaction between specialists. The register is based on existing state regulatory legal acts. While developing and testing of the register, there were a number of tasks to be solved: to evaluate the efficiency of existing standard and promising targeted PsA therapies in real practice; to assess and improve the routing of patients with PsA. The use of the register allows an operational analysis of the following characteristics: demographic and socioeconomic parameters of patients with PsA; anamnestic data of patients with this condition; results of clinical examinations, instrumental and laboratory data.The geography of the register covers 27 regions of the Russian Federation; the register includes information on 460 patients with PsA.Creating a register permits one to track the dynamics of various parameters (social, demographic, and medical ones), to compare treatment options and the clinical and functional characteristics of patients with PsA, and to evaluate their performance, disability and changes in the social and labor status during the treatment performed. Thus, for the first time in the Russian Federation, the demographic, functional, and socioeconomic parameters of patients with PsA were comprehensively analyzed and the level of performance and impaired daily activities in PsA patients were studied using the WPAI questionnaire; moreover, the patients’ functional and psychological status was evaluated for the first time, by applying the PsAID-12, FACIT questionnaires (in the patients of the V.A. Nasonova Research Institute of Rheumatology).An analysis of the information available in the register makes it possible to compare the efficiency of different PsA treatment regimens, by estimating the rates of remission and/or minimal disease activity in real practice.

This research paper addresses the need for digitalization of the economy in socially important areas of the Russian Federation, particularly its regions. The purpose of the study is to examine the relationship of digitalization with the processes of inclusive growth and regional development. The study identifies the main directions of the digitalization policy, its overall effectiveness, as well as those processes that make certain public goods more accessible for the population, namely: education, healthcare, security, infrastructure and their possible impact on inequality and the level of income of the population. Problems are identified in the existing national and regional digitalization policy, which is not able to ensure a steady increase in citizens’ incomes, high-quality and affordable higher education, as well as reduce the social tension of the population. Based on the foregoing, the authors offer recommendations for resolving these problems in terms of a digitalization approach and an improved digitalization policy with a view to sustainable inclusive socio-economic growth and development of the Russian Federation regions.
