Retrospective Analysis of Variability and Sustainability of Rospotrebnadzor Departmental Statistics as an Information Basis of Analytical Tasks in the Sphere of Sanitary and Epidemiological Well-Being of the Population

Background: Departmental statistical observation forms of the Russian Federal Service for Surveillance on Consumer Rights Protection and Human Well-Being (Rospotrebnadzor), along with the data of the Federal Information Fund for Public Health Monitoring, are an important source of information not only for evaluating the effectiveness of the Service and assessing prevented losses to public health, but also for preparing analytical reports of various levels. Their results depend, inter alia, on changes in the structure and contents of these forms.
Objective: To analyze variability and sustainability of statistical form data as input parameters for evaluating the effectiveness and efficiency of Rospotrebnadzor activities aimed to ensure sanitary and epidemiological well-being of the Russian population in 2017–2023.
Materials and Methods: We conducted a retrospective comparative analysis of structural units (rows and columns) of Rospotrebnadzor departmental statistical observation forms Nos. 18, 1, 1-control, and 13 taking into account regulatory changes in the field of sanitary and epidemiological well-being made in 2017 to 2023.
Results: Transformation of the regulatory framework during the study period amended the structure and content of the Rospotrebnadzor forms of statistical reporting under consideration. General trends towards a shift in control and supervisory activities towards an increase in the volume of preventive measures (the rate of decrease in the number of control and supervisory measures taken in 2023 compared to 2019 was 80.8 %), expansion and detailing of analyzed indicators (over 900 structural indicators were added or renamed), and a decrease in the volume of some data lead to a change in variability and sustainability of statistical data used as the main source of information for a wide range of analytical tasks.
Conclusions: Our findings show that revisions of reporting forms lead to changes in the dynamic series of long-term data, thus affecting the results of various solutions to analytical tasks. Recommendations are given for planning works associated with the restructuring of models of cause-and-effect relationships within the triple system of “Rospotrebnadzor Activities – Environmental Quality – Public Health”.
