FORENSIC ASPECTS OF SUDDEN DEATH INCENTRAL KAZAKHSTAN
Sudden death plays an important role in assessing mortality rates. The analysis of sudden death makes it possible to establish not only the cause of death in each specific case, but also to judge in general the number of people dying suddenly, as well as the role of various diseases, their “rejuvenation”, and various social, age, climatic, geographical and other factors in its onset. Currently, the forensic diagnosis of sudden death remains relevant both theoretically and practically. The purpose of the study: to study the indicators of sudden death depending on gender and age group in the territory of Central Kazakhstan in order to analyze the levels and tendencies of mortality and morbidity. Materials and methods A segmented analysis of the indicators of sudden death and their dynamics in the territory of Central Kazakhstan from 2019 to 2021 was carried out based on the results of forensic medical reports. The material for the study was cases of sudden death identified during the forensic autopsy of corpses of men and women in various age categories. Results The data of retrospective monitoring made it possible to assess the causes, frequency and dynamics of sudden death in the territory of Central Kazakhstan. The results showed that the number of sudden death cases in this area, regardless of gender, has no tendency to decrease and has stable nature. It was found that, in general, the current situation duplicates the general Kazakh tendencies, but has certain features: there are no gender differences and seasonal changes in the number of sudden death cases in the studied region. Statistically significant age-related features associated with the causes of sudden death in men and women were revealed. There are determined main tendencies of the causes of sudden death and was given the analysis of the causes of sudden death by gender, age and depending on the time of year. No significant changes in mortality tendencies were found in the segmented analysis. The thanatogenesis of sudden death is due to the frequency and number of non-infectious diseases in the region. These factors determine the outcome of the disease and the onset of sudden death against the background of imaginary well-fare. Conclusion Monitoring and dynamics of the number of sudden deaths in each individual region makes it possible to analyze the medical and demographic situation with the subsequent adaptation of local health systems to an effective response, setting in motion preventive response measures in several sectors at once.
