    Since 1993 infant mortality rates have generally decreased in Russia due to the decline in early neonatal mortality. Late fetal mortality rates have also decreased. These facts seem to be unexpected since the health statistics registers a decline in the health status of pregnant women. It is noteworthy that in some of Russia's regions, the average perinatal mortality rate is related to the lowest level of its early neonatal component. Against this background, it is useful to remind that Russia's state statistics mainly registers perinatal death of infants or fetuses weighing 1000 grams or more. This understates the official early neonatal mortality rate by one third and makes possible any manipulations in reports.

    Correlations02:20

    Correlations

    Correlation means that there is a relationship between two or more variables (such as ice cream consumption and crime), but this relationship does not necessarily imply cause and effect. When two variables are correlated, it simply means that as one variable changes, so does the other. We can measure correlation by calculating a statistic known as a correlation coefficient. A correlation coefficient is a number from -1 to +1 that indicates the strength and direction of the relationship between...

    Regression Toward the Mean

    Regression toward the mean (“RTM”) is a phenomenon in which extremely high or low values—for example, and individual’s blood pressure at a particular moment—appear closer to a group’s average upon remeasuring. Although this statistical peculiarity is the result of random error and chance, it has been problematic across various medical, scientific, financial and psychological applications. In particular, RTM, if not taken into account, can interfere when researchers try to extrapolate results...
    Introduction to Vital Signs01:25

    Introduction to Vital Signs

    Vital signs are physiological measurements that help key into the status of the body's essential functions. These include body temperature, pulse rate, respiratory rate, and blood pressure, commonly abbreviated as T, P, R, and BP. Some healthcare settings also consider oxygen saturation (SpO2) and, in specific contexts, pain and level of consciousness as additional vital signs.
    Vital signs help healthcare professionals assess an individual's well-being and detect any functional changes or...
    Guidelines For Measuring Vital Signs01:19

    Guidelines For Measuring Vital Signs

    Following these guidelines can help nurses accurately measure vital signs, assess changes in patient conditions, and provide timely treatment when necessary. Adhering closely to the guidelines ensures the accuracy and reliability of the results.
    Before taking a patient's vital signs, a nurse would consider and assess the patient's comfort level and ensure appropriate equipment is available.
    Relative Risk01:12

    Relative Risk

    Relative risk (RR) is a statistical measure commonly used in epidemiology to compare the likelihood of a particular event occurring between two groups. This metric is important for evaluating the relationship between exposure to a specific risk factor and the probability of a particular outcome. It plays a crucial role in medical research, public health studies, and risk assessment. Relative risk quantifies how much more (or less) likely an event is to occur in an exposed group compared to an...

    Applications of Life Tables

    Life tables are versatile across various fields, providing a quantitative basis for analyzing mortality and survival rates. Whether used by demographers, actuaries, epidemiologists, or sociologists, life tables offer valuable insights into the dynamics of life and death, facilitating informed decisions in public health, insurance, conservation, and beyond. Their broad applicability highlights the interconnectedness of demographic data with practical outcomes in everyday life and strategic...
