Abstract
Abstract: The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic outbreak has had a global impact on all spheres of social life and population health. A study of the influence of a novel coronavirus infection COVID-19 on the working population health is an up-to-date issue. The objective is to assess changes in the morbidity with a temporary incapacity for work during the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic outbreak. Methods. We have analyzed the data on the morbidity with a temporary incapacity for work obtained from the unified interdepartmental information and statistical system. The change in the rates in 2020 is determined regarding the long-run annual average over 2015-2019 years. We ranked the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. Results. In 2020, there was an increase in all three indicators of a temporary incapacity for work nationwide and in all federal districts. We compared two indicators: “the number of days of temporary incapacity per 100 workers” and “the number of cases of temporary incapacity per 100 workers”. It has emerged that the first indicator is higher both nationwide and in all federal districts than the second one, which is typical for the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. Conclusion. In 2020, there was an increase in the morbidity with a temporary incapacity for work in the Russian Federation as a whole and in all federal districts. It was evaluated according to the indicators: “the number of cases of temporary incapacity per 100 workers”, “the number of days of temporary incapacity per 100 workers” and “an average duration of a temporary incapacity for work”. There was a decrease in the number of cases and days of temporary incapacity for work per 100 employees in five constituent entities of the Russian Federation. Moreover, a decrease in the average duration of a single case was found in six regions. A reduction in the admission number may be the reason for an increase in the duration of a single case of a temporary incapacity for work. Additionally, the limited availability of an elective care is also a determining factor
