title: [The comparative assessment of burden of diseases of nervous system in regions of the Republic of Azerbaijan].
abstract: The article deals with assessment of burden of diseases of nervous system in regions of the Republic of Azerbaijan with different level of premature death. The study was carried out using technique of total coverage of all cases of death (53 762 cases totally, 13 580 cases out of them in connection with nervous diseases). The regions (cities and districts of republican subordination) are singled out based on different levels of mortality because of diseases of nervous system (112.5 +/- 6.0 - 249.3 +/- 13.2). Under standardization, the regional differences remain (119.7-222.3 per 100 000 of population). The comprehensive characteristics are established concerning age of deceased and amount of years of relatively lost potential life and integral criteria of burden of nervous diseases (rate of mortality multiplied on duration of relatively lost potential life). It is established that difference of risk of population mortality because of nervous diseases is conditioned not only by disparate age gender structure of population. The different probability of population mortality in regions is associated with difference of mean age of the deceased. It is demonstrated that the integral criterion of burden of nervous diseases is suited to classify the regions for identification of priorities of health services.
