2. Substantiation of a study.
The maximum maintenance of the health of children - worthy purpose, after which they must stand the complex theoretical and practical confirmation, which correspond to the contemporary requirements of "demonstrative medicine" (evidence based medicine). They include: refusal, as far as possible, from the routine inspections, the preference of selective approach, the goal-directed search for the diseases, whose preventive maintenance has social, medical and economic need.
Unfavorable demographic processes in our society are accompanied by sharp worsening in the status of the health of children and adolescents. Thus, in the last 10 -15 years the morbidity of the children of all age classes grew considerably. At the basis of worsening in the health status lies the entire complex of the social and economic reasons, among which the leading role plays the decrease of the volume of preventive programs (O.F.Vykhristyuk, G.A.Samsygina, 1998).
Sharp respiratory infections relate to the number of most extended diseases of man and compose half or more from the total number of acute diseases (Pilar Orine F.J. and co-auth., 1998). As early as 1979 by the World Health Organization (WHO - WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION) it was rekomendovano to the scientific research associations focus first priority attention on the development of the effective methods of preventive maintenance and timely diagnostics of respiratory pathology in children. After practically quarter of century the problem of respiratory infections in children became even more urgent. The diseases of the organs of respiration - most frequent pathology in children (Kagans S.YU. and co-auth., 1998), which specifies the expediency to isolate sharp respiratory infections into the separate group of the diseases of respiratory system. The results of epidemiological studies attest to the fact that on the average each child transfers from 3 to 5 episodes ORZ per year (Korovin N.A. and co-auth., 1998).
Substantiation for conducting of the present investigation were data of statistics, publications (Kagans S.YU. and co-auth, 1998, Korovin N.A. and co-auth., 1998) and "historical cohort", which testify about the high level of morbidity by respiratory infections among the children's population. In this case the average annual dynamics of morbidity by influenza and by another ORVI in children reflects its high level predominantly in the cold season. The sufficiently significant lift of morbidity during September in the comparison with the summer months is caused by not so much climatic conditions, as by factor of "mixing of infections" in the organized children's collectives (kindergartens, school) at the moment of their formation after summer vacations. Data of the seasonal dynamics of the etiology of respiratory diseases testify about the suppressing predominance above the influenza infection of other agents of acute respiratory virus diseases. The relationship of the influenza and other sharp respiratory infections according to the data of long-standing observations tentatively composes 1:5.
The specific part of the children's population is subjected to frequent recurrent respiratory diseases. Children, who frequently and prolongedly be ill by acute respiratory diseases, it is accepted to separate into the separate group of clinic observation. Child to competently carry to the group of the "frequently becoming white children" when the increased morbidity with respiratory infections is not connected with the steadfast innate, hereditary or acquired pathologic states. These children deserve special attention, since frequent respiratory diseases can cause stalling basic adaptive mechanisms, lead to the significant disturbances of the functional state of organism and contribute to the development of chronic pathology. Domestic pediatricians carry children to the group of those frequently being ill (table 4) on the basis of the criteria, proposed By v.Yu.Al'bitskim and A.A. by Baranov (1986).
Table 2.
Criteria of the start of children in the group "frequently of those being
ill".
|
In children at the age of older than 3 years as the criterion for the start in the group "frequently of those being ill" is used "infectious index" - the ratio of the sum of the cases of acute respiratory diseases to the age of child. U of the "frequently being ill children" index kolebletsya in limits of 1.1-3.5.
Group the "frequently being ill children" is very heterogeneous in composition of patients, nature of diseases or their combinations, which makes the use of the standardized preventive programs in practice impossible. According to the data Of al'binskogo V.M., Baranov A.A. (1986) in the group of the frequently being ill children of the disease of the upper respiratory tract they compose 82%, in this case the frequency of respiratory infections is especially high. Dutau G (1996) are examined the following debatable and unresolved questions: beginning from what moment the infectious diseases of the upper respiratory tract they must be taken into consideration? What research must be conducted for evaluating the mechanisms of this pathology? How to warn relapses and complications? Is paid attention to the fact that today there exists no ideal therapeutic solution of this many-sided pathology. The author comes to the conclusion that their frequency from 3 to 5 for a period of recent three months is the basic marker of the relapsing respiratory infections in children. Very important was the fact that with episodes less than 5 times per year the searches for etiological and pathogenetic factors were rarely reliable. The author estimates these episodes as "required", that facilitate the "production of physiological immunity". With the episodes more than 10 V the results of the searches for the etiological and predisposing factors were positive in 80% of cases with the direct correlation dependence between them. With the episodes from 5 to 10 times per year it is recommended conducting the search for etiological factors. In connection with this it is expedient to study the effectiveness of preventive measures in the following groups of children:
1. Children, who be ill by the not
complicated forms of the acute respiratory diseases < of 5 times per year,
or by the complicated forms < of 3 times per year.
2. children, who be ill by the not complicated forms of the acute respiratory
diseases > of 5 times per year.
3. children, who transferred the complicated forms of the acute respiratory
diseases > of 3 times per year.
4. children, who suffer chronic bronchopulmonary diseases.
Preventive maintenance, as system in the broad sense of this concept, represents not only everyday, for years and by decades the adjusted views and customs (culture of family, training children, formation and maintenance at the high level of the healthy means of life), but also it rests on a number of the scientifically substantiated recommendations. Rational nourishment, optimum motoring, timely vaccine prophylaxis (for the preventive maintenance of influenza), organization of studies and leisure - is here far the incomplete enumeration of the measures, which determine the essence of the primary preventive maintenance of respiratory infections. At present relationship "preventive maintenance - therapy" is moved to the side of organization and improvement of rendering to the specialized medical aid to sick children. To the problems of preventive maintenance it is not given adequate consideration. A large quantity of the most diverse federal and regional programs they bear in essence declarative character. Unfortunately scientific studies also are conducted at the insufficient level, in the connection, with which putting into practice of various programs it does not bring the desired success or does not have lasting prospects. Attention is drawn to a large quantity, as a rule, the unfinished or unrealized projects and the programs of the medical preventive maintenance of respiratory infections. Meanwhile a quantity of programs must be maximally limited for the start in the activity of practical public health. In the majority of programs they are considered in essence the probability of known favorable effects, little attention it is given to the analysis of the probability of the assumed favorable effects. Do not undergo proper analysis the known and possible negative consequences of preventive measures, the economic characteristic of program, the duration of conducting measures, inconvenience in the implementation of program. Confirmation to that is the fact that at present do not have actually functioning long-range programs of the preventive maintenance of respiratory infections the children.
Thus, for the current situation it is characteristic:
· high morbidity by influenza and by another ORVI among the children's population;
· limitedness and (or) the asymmetry of the existing information, which is concerned the quality of various preventive programs, directed toward a decrease among the children of morbidity by influenza and other sharp respiratory virus infections;
· the absence in connection with this of the possibility to impose proper requirements on the conducted estimations of the effectiveness of various programs;
· relatively greater "space" for the especially "administrative" and "intuitive" solutions and planning the programs from the level reached.
At present in the complex of the preventive measures of the infections of the respiratory tract important role is assigned to preparations, possessing antiviral activity and immunotropic properties. The existing difficulties of their use are caused by the absence of the clear methodology of the substantiation of both the therapeutic and prophylactic advantages of one or other preparation or another and of the economic expediency of their application. One of such preparations is Arbidol ("MASTERLEK", Russia). The conducted investigations characterize it as the antiviral means, which renders the immunotropic action (Gus'kova T.A., Glushkov R.G., 2001). Preparation is patented in 20 countries of peace.
Represented data were base for conducting of the present investigation.
3. Purpose of the study: To refine in the real practice of possibility, including economic, the applications Of arbidol in the interests of an increase in the effectiveness in the therapeutic and prophylactic measures with respect to influenza or another ORVI in children are older than 6 years.
4. Tasks of a study.
1. To estimate the preventive effectiveness Of
arbidol in children.
2. to estimate the therapeutic effectiveness Of arbidol with the treatment of
respiratory infections.
3. to refine the degree of safety of the application Of arbidol.
4. to explain the degree of the economic expediency of the therapeutic and
prophylactic application Of arbidol.
5. Description of the preparation being investigated.
Arbidol ("MASTERLEK", Russia, registration number - R№000yyae/0y-2000 from 20.12.2000 g.) - ethyl ether 6- bromine -5 gidrooksi-1-methyl-4-dimetilaminometil-2-feniltiometil-indole-3- carbonaceous acid in the form of hydrochloride, monohydrate). The tablets, sheathed, biconvex forms from the white to the white with the kremovatym nuance color, in the cross section are visible two layers at 0.1 g., in the packing of 10 tablets. Each packing Of arbidol is supplied with information about the period of fitness and the number of party.
6. Substantiation of dosages, diagrams and duration of the application of preparation.
6.1. For preventive purposes. In the period preceding an increase in the morbidity influenza and by another ORVI to children was assigned Arbidol:
· at the age it is older from 6 to 12 years on 0.1 g, are older than 12 years of 0.2 g two times a week during three weeks; preventive course for the children from 6 to 12 years - 0.6 g. (6 tablets), for the children it is older than 12 years of -1.2 g. (12 tablets)
· in the case of contact with the patients with influenza and another ORVI - on 0.1 g (age of 6-12 years), 0.2 g. (age of older than 12 years) daily during 12 days; preventive course for the children at the age from 6 to 12 years of 1.2 g (12 tablets), at the age is older than 12 years - 2.4 g. (24 tablets); after this period continued the course (if it was interrupted) method at 0.1 g. (age of 6-12 years), 0.2 (age older than 12 years) two times a week during three weeks.
6.2. For therapeutic purposes the preparation was assigned:
· with the not complicated forms of influenza and another ORVI - 0.1 g. (age from 6 to 12 years), 0.2 g. (age of older than 12 years) of 3 times in the day during 3 days. Course of treatment for the children from 6 to 12 years - 0.9 g. (9 tablets), it is older than 12 years - 1.8 g. (18 tablets);
· with complicated forms of influenza or another ORVI - at 0.1 g. (age from 6 to 12 years), 0.2 g. (age of older than 12 years) of 3 times in the day during 5 days, then at 0.1 g. (age from 6 to 12 years) and 0.2 g. (age of older than 12 years) in the week during 4 weeks. Course of treatment for the children from 6 to 12 years - 1.9 g. (19 tablets), it is older than 12 years - 3.8 g. (38 tablets).
7. Characteristic of sample. In a study 500 children of older than 6 years participated: the group - 250 children being investigated, who obtained Arbidol; the group of comparison - 250 children without the preventive maintenance, and also the therapy with the appearance of influenza or another ORV By arbidol. The representativeness of selective groups and the guarantee of their comparability are achieved by the random selection of children at the age of older than 6 years, in accordance with the criteria of start and exception with the use of table of the evenly distributed random numbers. The formation of groups for the preventive application Of arbidol corresponded to the "ideal" screening, which did not require special preparation with conducting of preventive it was inspection children.
8. Methodology of a study.

8.5.4. Nonobservance by the patient of the mode of reception Of arbidol.
8.5.5. Appearance in the process of investigating the criteria of exception.
9. Duration of the participation of patients in a study - 4 months. The collection of children was finished 1 month after the start of the first child in a study.
10. Stages of the study:
· Preventive direction - frequency of the episodes of respiratory infections and their complications in the investigated groups in the course of 3 months in the period of the lift of morbidity by respiratory infections among the population;
· Therapeutic direction - (designation of preparation first 48 it is hour from the beginning of influenza or another ORVI) - on the periods of the normalization of temperature, disappearance of the symptoms of intoxication, reverse development of the clinical manifestations of disease, outcomes were expressed by measurable characteristics;
· The economic substantiation of the expediency of applying Arbidol included the study only of straight expenditures, connected with the acute respiratory diseases, by their complications, by the aggravations of basic diseases, with the cost of the preventive and therapeutic application Of arbidol. Straight expenditures were calculated by the medico- economic standards of dispensary- polyclinical and stationary aid to the patient of this category, by the established committee of public health Moscow and to prices of the drugs in the pharmaceutical network. The cost of medicines was determined on the basis of the average annual price in the pharmaceutical network taking into account a quantity of designations, course of treatment depending on the pattern of the flow of respiratory infections and their complications. Expenditures for the possible realization of project in the daily pediatric practice included besides the cost of the therapeutic and prophylactic course Of arbidol and expenditures for the simple medical services (order of the minister of public health RF from 22.12.1998 g.).
The ineffectiveness Of arbidol was defined as: the intolerance of treatment, which requires its curtailment, the development of respiratory infections, and also the progression of symptoms ORVI and their complications. Safety evaluation was conducted on the basis of the calculation of undesirable side-line phenomena and deviations of laboratory indices, taking into account the degree of their manifestation, seriousness, duration and possible connection with Arbidol.
11. Preventive maintenance and the treatment of subjects.
With a study of the preventive effectiveness Of arbidol soblyudalis' the requirements, presented in the protocol. In the case of the appearance of influenza or another ORVI with taking of therapeutic measures the researcher conducted the treatment of patient on the basis of his clinical knowledge and experience. All patients, who participate in a study, obtained according to the designation of doctor the standard treatment, directed toward decrease and elimination of the manifestations of the influenza or other sharp respiratory virus infections. The designation of the febrifugal preparations was justified. Changes in the dose, designation of new preparations or cancellation of any of them were fixed in the division the associated therapy of the individual map of patient. In this case the antiviral preparations (remantadine, etc.), used for treating of the influenza or other sharp respiratory virus infections, were not used.
12. Procedure of a study. Researcher evaluated after introductory period it does be suitable child for participation in a study. In the case of the positive solution to child was assigned preventive, and with the development of influenza or another ORVI - therapeutic the courses Of arbidol.
13. The statistical analysis of the parameters of effectiveness was conducted in children in children, who finished a study in accordance with the protocol in the absence of its significant disturbances. Are used the standard methods of statistical processing with the determination of average values, their confidence intervals and mean errors. They were calculated index I=.p1/p2) and coefficient E = (p1-p2/p1) x of 100 preventive effectivenesses Of arbidol, where r1 - frequency of morbidity in the control group; r2 - frequency of morbidity in the group of children, who obtained Arbidol. Were analyzed the primary and repeated cases of respiratory infections both with the complications and without them.
14. Results of a study.
A study is carry out in the period of the epidemic lift of morbidity by influenza and another ORVI (November 2001 - February of 2002). In the tables the 1st are given the results of the studied indices in the groups of children being investigated.

Represented data made it possible to answer the number of the questions, which were set in the study:
· The samples of experimental and control groups are practically uniform in the sex, the age, the frequency of respiratory infections, the diagnoses during the period during the year, which precedes a study.
· Undesirable phenomena during the application Of arbidol it was registered not.
· As a result of the analysis of basic measure of preventive effectiveness Arbidol (number of episodes of respiratory infections in 3 months of observation taking into account one child) is established that the most explicit effect is obtained in children 1 and 2 groups (index of effectiveness in comparison with the control in these groups it respectively composed 2.02 and 1.96). The use Of arbidol in children of 3 groups, whose respiratory infections usually flow with the complications, practically did not influence the frequency of the appearance of respiratory infections (0.68±0.035 in the experimental group and 0.7±0.04 in the control room, R>0.05). Among the inspected children with the chronic pathology of respiratory circuit is noted reliable reduction in the frequency of the episodes of acute respiratory diseases (0.25±0.08 in the experimental group and of 0.42±0.0e in the control room, R<0.05)
· One of the important is indicative effectiveness Arbidol in connection with the studied conditions it appeared shortening the duration of the flow of the not complicated respiratory infections in the experimental groups in comparison with the control (1 group respectively of ',4±0."of days and 9.9±1.1 of days, R<0.05; 2 groups, respectively 6.4±0.7 of days and 11.1±0.9 of days, R<0.05; 3 groups, respectively 7.4±0.8 of days and 10.1±0.9 of days, R<0.05). Very important evidence of the therapeutic and prophylactic application Of arbidol was the easier flow of respiratory infections and reduction in the risk of the development of complications, especially among the inspected children 1 and 2 experiment groups.
· The application of arbidol for the purpose of the preventive maintenance of respiratory infections and their complications, and also treatment of emergent ORVI is effective under the ideal conditions for the selected categories of children. Ideal effectiveness is characterized by the limitations of the children participating in the study only by those, who completely soblyudayet the order of entire therapeutic and prophylactic course.
· The controlled study showed that the therapeutic and prophylactic application Of arbidol can be actually effectively for the analogous patients.
· The analysis of obtained data made it possible to make economic nature. Expenditures on the average for one child can be reduced as a whole on all groups from 852 to 693 rubles, i.e., 1.2 times the optimization of expenditures is characterized by an increase in the expenditures for preventive maintenance due to the application Of arbidol, but as a result general expenditures due to other components are decreased. In particular are reduced expenditures for rendering to dispensary- polyclinical aid, hospitalizations, drugs, used for treating the acute respiratory diseases, their complications, connected with the treatment of aggravations against the background ORVI of basic diseases.
Conclusion
Obtained data clinically base the expediency of using Arbidol with the therapeutic and prophylactic purpose in the categories of children being investigated and are the basis of the guarantee of a data base for further estimated studies in the real practice. The meaningful result of a study was the farmakoekonomicheskoye substantiation of the advantages of the use Of arbidol in the complex of the measures, directed toward reduction in the morbidity by respiratory infections and improvements in their outcome among the children's population. The conducted investigation makes it possible more tselenapravlenno to estimate the distribution of the resources, connected with the preventive maintenance of respiratory infections in children. The given clinical and economic proofs it is expedient to use for the substantiation of the start Of arbidol with the planning, the development and the implementation of federal and regional therapeutic and prophylactic programs for preventive maintenance and treatment of the influenza and other sharp respiratory virus infections in children.
