The aim - study the main causes and factors that led to the death of patients with pneumonia from a new coronavirus infection (COVID-19) in a hospital setting. Material and methods. Analysis of 84 case histories with fatal outcomes, as well as postmortem examination of 6 deceased patients. Results and discussion. Comparative analysis of overall mortality rates by nosology among the population for the period 2019-2020 (n=33 537;36 299) shows that in 2020 the number of patients who died from respiratory diseases increased 2.1 times or 106%, from infectious and parasitic diseases - 1.3 times or 30.8%. The first case of infection with a new coronavirus infection (COVID-19) among citizens of the Republic of Tajikistan was registered on April 30, 2020, it was then that a quarantine restrictions was announced in the country.

In Tajikistan, since January 10, 2021, no cases of COVID-19 have been officially registered. As of January 30, 2021, the number of people infected with COVID-19 in the country was 13 308, of which 13 218 (99.3%) people were cured, 90 (0.68%) people died. The number of cases of pneumonia in the first 10 months of 2020 compared to 2019 increased from 12 802 to 18 504 people, or by 5702, and the number of deaths - from 129 to 291, that is, 2.3 times or 125.6%. At the same time, 10 606 cases of COVID-19 associated with pneumonia were registered in Tajikistan during this period, which amounted to 57.3% of the total number of cases. An analysis of the history of the deceased showed that in 4.3% of cases the age of the deceased was from 30 to 39 years, in 30.4% - from 40 to 60 years and in 65.3% - over 61 years. Conclusion. The analysis of deaths among the population of Tajikistan shows that in 2020 there was an increase in the mortality rate, the incidence of seasonal pneumonia and the number of patients with COVID-19 associated with pneumonia.Copyright © 2021 Sovero Press Publishing House.
