The National Center for Health Statistics has just released a new report entitled "Maternal and Child Health Statistics: Russian Federal and United States, Selected Years 1985-95." This report describes the health care system and maternal and child health practice guidelines of the Russian Federation as compared to that of the United States.
Data Highlights:
Prenatal
care in the first trimester gradually improved during the 1990's among women in the United
States (81 percent) as compared to women in Russia (72 percent).
In Russia, more
than 20 percent of pregnant women were diagnosed with anemia at the time of delivery in
1995, as compared to 6.5 percent in 1990. The increasing level of anemia is indicative of
growing nutritional problems in Russia.
The prevalence
of most medical risk factors was much lower in the U.S. than in Russia. The Russian rates
were 10 times higher for anemia and cardiovascular disease. However, the prevalence of
diabetes during pregnancy in Russian was substantially lower than the rate reported in the
United States.
In Russia, the
cesarean delivery rate has risen steadily in recent years, from 3.3 percent of deliveries
in 1985 to 10.1 percent in 1995. In contrast, the United States cesarean delivery rates
declined from 1990-1995, from 22.7 percent to 20.8 percent of all live births.
