Abstract
This article presents an analysis of key aspects related to childhood disabilities in Crimea, focusing on the incidence and prevalence of childhood disability, the nosological structure of childhood disability, as well as the reasons for changes in these indicators. The method of dynamic series analysis was employed. Data obtained from the Federal State Institution «Main Bureau of Medical and Social Expertise for the Republic of Crimea» of the Ministry of Labor of Russia, specifically the «Information on medical and social expertise of children under 18 years of age for 2019-2023» (Form N 7-D), and data from the Federal State Statistics Service of the Russian Federation were analyzed. The dynamics of the incidence of childhood disability doubled; the prevalence of childhood disability over the past five years has remained almost unchanged. The leading nosologies in the structure are mental and behavioral disorders, diseases of the endocrine system, nutritional and metabolic disorders, diseases of the nervous system, and congenital anomalies (malformations), deformations, and chromosomal abnormalities. The increase in the incidence and prevalence rates of disability is driven by the share of mental and behavioral disorders, among which autism occupies the main place. These are the calculated data for Crimea for 2019-2023.
