Morbidity parameters in children aged 0–17 years have been analyzed based on results of prophylactic medical examinations conducted in Ekaterinburg between 2013 and 2019. The prophylactic medical examination coverage of pediatric population, distribution among the health status groups and frequency of regular medical check-ups have been studied. In 2019 versus 2013, children aged 0–17 years demonstrated a 1.6-fold increase in overall morbidity, and 2.3-fold increase in primary-care morbidity. In 2013–2017, a higher level of overall morbidity was found in children aged 15–17 years compared to children 0–4 years of age, owing to the emergence of newly diagnosed diseases. It was noted than the most frequently diagnosed diseases included diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue, diseases of the eye and eye appendages, diseases of nervous system, digestive system, endocrine system, nutritional disorders and metabolic disorders. Each year, based on results of prophylactic medical examinations, the proportion of children for whom the outpatient examination has been recommended amounts to 9.5%, outpatient treatment to 35.0%, and outpatient medical rehabilitation to 9.3%. The fraction of healthy children as of 2019 was 23.1% of all examined children. In 2019 the coverage for medical check-ups at the health facilities was 605.6 per 1000 children, that is 1.8 times higher than that in 2013 (334,0 per 1000 children).
