Roszdravnadzor discovered hospitals hiding mortality from Covid-19

The head of Roszdravnadzor Alla Samoilova, speaking at the XIV All -Russian seminar "Reproductive potential of Russia: versions and controversy" in Sochi, announced inaccuracies in the Russian statistics on mortality from coronavirus. It is reported by "Medical Herald" .

According to the head of the department, Roszdravnadzor revealed discrepancies during the registration of fatal outcomes of patients in hospitals that were re -profiled to take patients with coronavirus. "There was an order to analyze all deaths in covid hospitals. What we encountered? There were hospitals where almost 100% of deaths were encrypted as death from Covid-19, and there were those that were almost zero as a mortality from Covid-19," she said.

Samoilova explained this by the fact that medical institutions are differently encoded the causes of death of those who died in beds in hospitals intended for the treatment of coronavirus. In particular, some of the dead as a cause of death recorded cardiovascular diseases or respiratory diseases.

As the head of Roszdravnadzor noted, the mortality from coronavirus in these hospitals was encrypted should become the "subject of analytical events" and "conclusions for the future."

On September 4, Rosstat published data on mortality from coronavirus in the country. According to his estimates, from April to July, inclusive, 37,908 Russians with Covid-19 died. According to the operational headquarters to combat infection, today the country has 17,871 victims of coronavirus. The difference between the data of Rosstat and the operational headquarters is explained by the fact that the latter takes into account only those cases when coronavirus became the main cause of death, RBC reports.

In June, the head of Rosstat Pavel Malkov in an interview with RBC explained the discrepancies in mortality from coronavirus by the imperfection of the calculation methods . "The operational headquarters gives operational data. Of course, the most relevant data on the incidence, as well as the mortality data that is manually entered into this system. We have a different calculation methodology. We receive data from the USR registry office (the Unified State Register of Civil Acts. - approx. RBC ), where we get the final medical certificates, and we also directly get the final medical medical Death certificates as they appear, ”he said.

Malkov said that Rosstat has developed a separate coronavirus table, in which four columns were allocated. The first people who died from the confirmed diagnosis of Koronavirus are entered. In the second - those who have coronavirus are supposed as the main cause of death, but the final results of analyzes and the conclusion of pathologists are not yet ready. In the third column there are people who, in the presence of another disease, coronavirus influenced the speed of approaching death. In the fourth - patients, the presence of coronavirus in whom did not affect the onset of death at all.
