Abstract

The objective of the present study was to evaluate the frequency of alcoholic drunkenness documented during forensic medical expertises (investigations) of the corpses carried out in this country throughout the period from 2011 till 2016. The investigations were conducted with the use of medical statistics methods by calculating the fractional difference, dynamics, and rates of detection of the cases of alcoholic intoxication depending on the cause of death. The study has demonstrated the high frequency of the cases of alcoholic drunkenness revealed during forensic medical expertises (investigations) of the corpses that amounted to 30.5% [15, 16]. The total number of the corpses examined in 2016 was 8.6% higher than in 2011. The frequency of the documented cases of alcoholic drunkenness during the same period decreased by 19.7%. The frequency of the documented cases of alcoholic drunkenness in the cases of violent death was 2.8 times that in the cases of death from various diseases (52.8 and 19.0% respectively). The enhanced frequency of alcoholic drunkenness in relation to the number of the conducted forensic medical expertises was documented in the cases of death by drowning and from hypothermia whereas the lowest frequency of alcoholic intoxication was recorded for the corpses of the people who had died from malignant tumours and diseases of the nervous system. Various regions of Russia differed in terms of the frequency of alcoholic drunkenness recorded among the recently deceased people.

Цель исследования - изучение частоты алкогольных опьянений, установленных при производстве судебно-медицинских экспертиз (исследований) трупов в России за период с 2011 по 2016 г. При исследовании использовались методы медицинской статистики, вычислялись показатели долевой разницы, динамика и темп частоты выявления алкогольных опьянений в зависимости от вида смерти. Установлено, что при судебно-медицинской экспертизе (исследование) трупов имеется высокая (30,5%) частота выявления алкогольных опьянений [15, 16]. Общее количество исследованных трупов в 2016 г. было на 8,6% больше, чем в 2011 г., а число выявленных при этом алкогольных опьянений снизилось на 19,7%. При насильственной смерти алкогольные опьянения устанавливались в 2,8 раза чаще по сравнению со смертью от заболеваний, составляя соответственно 52,8 и 19,0%. Высокие показатели частоты алкогольных опьянений относительно количества выполненных аутопсий установлены при утоплениях и воздействии низких температур, а низкие - при новообразованиях и болезнях нервной системы. В разных регионах России выявлена неодинаковая частота сопутствующих смерти алкогольных опьянений.
