Summary

Epidemiology in Russia is outdated, focusing on infectious diseases rather than modern research methods. This hinders the quality of medical research and statistical analysis across the country.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Research Methodology
  • Epidemiology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • The state of epidemiology in Russia has not been thoroughly examined.
  • Understanding current epidemiological practices is crucial for advancing medical research in the region.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the current condition of epidemiology in Russia.
  • To evaluate the adoption of advanced research designs and statistical methods in Russian medical research.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of Medline data (1970-1997) for study design frequencies.
  • Evaluation of diagnostic studies for advanced statistical technique (ROC analysis) usage.
  • Review of dissertations, university curricula, and literature indexing for epidemiological content.

Main Results:

  • Russian medical research infrequently employs advanced study designs and data analysis methods.
  • Epidemiology is taught to medical students primarily as the study of infectious disease spread.
  • Lack of dedicated epidemiology departments and specialized periodicals in Russia.

Conclusions:

  • Epidemiology in Russia is in an archaic state, limited to infectious disease science.
  • The current state of epidemiology negatively impacts the methodology of Russian medical research.
