| Summary: | The review of scientific literature describes modern understanding of the problem of teratogenic effect of alcohol on the fetus and pregnancy outcome. The attention is paid to the problems of incidence, the role of short-term intervention in the prevention of fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) and fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD). It is shown that in Russia accurate epidemiological data on the incidence of fetal alcohol syndrome and fetal alcohol spectrum disorders are not available. It's noted that alcohol consumption in women can lead to adverse pregnancy outcomes. In a review of domestic and foreign literature it was revealed that in Russia there is a lack of information on violations arising in connection with the use of alcohol by child's mother during the prenatal period. FAS and FASD problem are little studied, including Irkutsk region. It was established that there was no data on the prevalence and incidence of FAS and FASD. Prevention issues are covered a bit and are used in physicians' practice not in all regions. Therefore, the study of this problem will be of great theoretical and practical significance. |
