In the Republic of South Africa, ischaemic heart disease is the main cause of death amongst Whites in the age group 20 — 65 years. The percentage for ischaemic heart disease of all deaths from diseases of the circulatory system for Whites in the age group 25 — 34 is 63% for males and 21% for females. In the age group 35 — 44 the percentages are 77% for males and 34% for females (22, p.1025).

Introduction. Over the past decade, in Russia and abroad, there has been a clear trend towards an increase in cases of sudden death in the workplace from the disease of the circulatory system. Material and methods. During the study, there were studied the databases of the State Labor Inspectorate in the Republic of Bashkortostan in 2014-2018, including accident investigation reports, information on a special assessment of working conditions, medical examinations, forensic medical examinations and other materials. Results. Diseases of the circulatory system (DSC) were the main cause of sudden death in the workplace in more than 90% of cases. The maximum number of cases of sudden due to DSC was recorded in the age group of 56-60 years. The overwhelming majority of the deceased cases were represented by working occupations - 82.8%, drivers of transport were in 13.7% of cases. The vast majority of deaths occurred in the morning (from 6 to 12) and daytime (from 12 to 18) hours. The working conditions of deceased DCS workers in most cases (59.8%) corresponded to the permissible class (class 2); under harmful conditions (subclass 3.1 - 3.3) 24.9% cases worked. Most often, some form of acute coronary heart disease (CHD) was mentioned as the immediate cause of death (64.0%). Among acute forms of coronary heart disease in medical documents in more than 50% of cases the code I 24.8 “Other forms of acute coronary heart disease” was established. “Acute myocardial infarction” was verified in 11.1% of cases and was the main cause of death in men. In the group “Cerebrovascular Diseases”, “Intracerebral hemorrhage” was most often diagnosed. Conclusion. The obtained results substantiate the need to develop measures to prevent sudden death in the workplace, aimed primarily at preventing the development, progression and early diagnosis of DSC.

Results. The leading cause of sudden death in the workplace in more than 90% of cases were circulatory system diseases (CSD). The maximum number of cases of sudden death from CSD was recorded in the age group of 56-60 years. Working condit ions represented the overwhelming majority of the deceased - 82.8%. In 13.7% of cases, they were drivers of transport. The vast majority of deaths occurred in the morning (from 6 to 12) and daytime (from 12 to 18).

In the group “Cerebrovascular Diseases,” “Intracerebral hemorrhage” was most often diagnosed. Conclusion. The obtained results substantiate the need to develop measures to prevent sudden death in the workplace, aimed primarily at preventing the development, progression, and early diagnosis of diseases of the circulatory system.

Causes Of Deaths

This study analyses the avoidable mortality in Poland at the regional level of 16 voivodships over the last two decades, 1991–2010. The author divided the mortality causes into three groups: treatable disease, preventable diseases and ischemic heart disease. We used a decomposition technique to calculate the contribution of changes in mortality from these conditions to changes in life expectancy between birth and age 75 for the two periods 1991–2000 and 2000–2010 by sex and age group. The analyses were based on temporary life expectancy between birth and age 75 (e0–75). Chiang’s method was used for constructing abridged life tables, and Arriaga’s method was used for decomposition. The results revealed differences in the temporary life expectancy level and pace of change between voivodships, causes of deaths and sex.

The Impact

Approximately 20 million strokes occur in the world each year and over one-quarter of these are fatal. This makes stroke the second most common cause of death, after ischaemic heart disease, and strokes are responsible for 6 million deaths (almost 10% of all deaths) annually. Stroke has major consequences in terms of residual physical disability, depression, dementia, epilepsy, and carer burden. Moreover, around 20% of survivors experience a further stroke or serious vascular event within a few years of the index event. Ischaemic stroke contributes the greatest share of the impact of stroke, with a rate of approximately 1 in 1000 person-years and accounting for between 60% (in Asia) and 90% (in Western ‘white’ populations) of all strokes around the world. Diagnosis and assessment are essentially clinical and confirmed by CT or MRI scanning. Prognostication is difficult in the early phase of haemorrhagic stroke and in ischaemic stroke is affected by the availability and timely use of treatments to recanalize the occluded vessel.

Objectives. To analyse mortality trends from deaths registered at Mosvold Hospital, Ingwavuma, KwaZulu-Natal, and possible impact of programmes to treat and prevent HIV infection. Design. Longitudinal study of death certifications from 2003 to 2008. Setting. Mosvold Hospital mortuary, Ingwavuma. Subjects. Counterfoils of form 83/BI-1663, Notification/Register of Death/Stillbirths (Republic of South Africa, Department of Home Affairs), completed at Mosvold Hospital from January 2003 to December 2008. Outcome measures. Age at death, cause of death, patterns of deaths grouped by age, gender and cause of death. Results. AIDS-related deaths were the cause of 53% of deaths, particularly affecting the 20 - 59-year and under-5 age groups. Since 2005 there has been a decline in deaths in the 20 - 59 age group and an increase in average age at death. Conclusions. The decrease in mortality from 2005 may be associated with antiretroviral roll-out reducing mortality from AIDS-related illnesses.
