While the world is struggling with COVID-19, the ICT industry seeks to play a constructive role in combating the spread of the virus. This book contains the abstracts of the papers presented at The First Eurasian Conference; The Coronavirus Pandemic and Critical ICT Infrastructure (PANDEMIC-ICT-2020) organized by AMIR Technical Services LLC, Tbilisi, Georgia held on November 28-30, 2020.

Introduction: Cerebral palsy is the most common childhood disability Aims: Analyze and determine the main risk factors for the development of cerebral palsy in the population of Kazakhstan Materials and methods: Retrospective, analytical "case" - "control". Core group "case" - medical records of 100 pregnant women whose children at different ages has been diagnosed with cere-bral palsy Results: Thus, a retrospective analysis revealed the following features and complications in the perinatal period, which could promote the formation of cerebral palsy in children. Analytical results of the study are set significant results in cerebral palsy development Conclusion: Premature birth and urinary tract infections turned out to be the largest contribu-tors to the development of cerebral palsy, however, according to statistics, the rate of preterm birth, as well as the detection of infections, stably remains at the same level, while the number of cerebral palsy has been steadily growing since the early 1990s in Kazakhstan.

Congenital heart defects (CHD) are the most common birth anomaly affecting approximately 1% of births and have a prevalence of about 5.8 per 1000 people. CHD is the most common congenital anomaly in newborn babies. Management of the newborn with CHD represents a frontier of clinical pediatric cardiology. Progress in diagnosis and surgical treatment of the individuals with a heart defect has progressed to the point that almost all heart defects can be significantly improved and treated. Cardiovascular malformations account for about 10% of infant deaths and nearly half of all deaths from malformations

Hearing loss is the most common sensory deficit in humans. Early diagnosis and intervention are important in the acquisition of hearing, speech, and linguistic skills, thereby contributing to the positive development of the child. Aims:To study the state of hearing in children living in Kazakhstan, to identify the proportion of mutations in the connexin-26 gene in the event of sensorineural deafness.Methods: prospective case-control analysis. In total, 454 participants were examined.Results: It has been identified that for the Kazakh population with regard to the polymorphism of gene frequency GJB2 (35delG, 235Cdel, 167delT) the most characteristic is allele spectrum frequencies of 167delT polymorphism. Conclusion:Thus, the population frequencies of the mutation were studied: 35delG (0.49±0.28), 235delC (0.66±0.33), 167delT (1.64±0.51) of the GJB2 gene in the Kazakh population, which makes a significant contribution to the study of the gene pool of Kazakhs.
