    • Disparities in length of life across developed countries: Measuring and decomposing changes over time within and between country groups 

      Timonin, Sergey; Shkolnikov, Vladimir M.; Jasilionis, Domantas; Grigoriev, Pavel; Jdanov, Dmitri A.; Leon, David Adrew (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-08-11)
      Background. Over the past half century the global tendency for improvements in longevity has been uneven across countries. This has resulted in widening of inter-country disparities in life expectancy. Moreover, the pattern of divergence appears to be driven in part by processes at the level of country groupings defined in geopolitical terms. A systematic quantitative analysis of this phenomenon has ...

    • Evidence of large systematic differences between countries in assigning ischaemic heart disease deaths to myocardial infarction: the contrasting examples of Russia and Norway 

      Timonin, Sergey; Shkolnikov, Vladimir M.; Andreev, Evgeny; Magnus, Per Minor; Leon, David A. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-09-11)
      <p><i>Background:</i> There is considerable variation in mortality rates from myocardial infarction (MI) across high-income countries, some of which may be artefactual. Methods: Time trends in mortality rates from ischaemic heart disease (IHD) and MI were analysed for a set of high-income countries from the end of the 1970s. Using individuallevel mortality data from Russia (2005–2017) and Norway ...

    • Excess mortality in Russia and its regions compared to high income countries: An analysis of monthly series of 2020 

      Timonin, Sergey; Klimkin, Ilya; Shkolnikov, Vladimir M.; Andreev, Evgeny; McKee, Martin; Leon, David A. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-12-21)
      Background: Russia has been portrayed in media as having one of the highest death tolls due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the world. However, the precise scale of excess mortality is still unclear. We provide the first estimates of excess mortality in Russia as a whole and its regions in 2020, placing this in an international context. Methods: We used monthly death rates for Russia and 83 regions ...

    • Reducing geographic inequalities in access times for acute treatment of myocardial infarction in a large country: the example of Russia 

      Timonin, Sergey; Kontsevaya, Anna; McKee, Martin; Leon, David Adrew (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-08-01)
      Background: Russia has the largest area of any country in the world and has one of the highest cardiovascular mortality rates. Over the past decade, the number of facilities able to perform percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs) has increased substantially. We quantify the extent to which the constraints of geography make equitable access to this effective technology difficult to ...
