Background & objectives: Accidents are one of the main causes of death worldwide. Iran has one of the highest death rates due to unintentional injuries among countries. The first step in preventing and controlling accidents is collecting basic information about the severity and type of injuries.
Methods: This study was conducted to estimate the burden of death due to accidents and injuries in Ardabil province. Death information was extracted from the death registration program of Ardabil University of Medical Sciences. The World Health Organization website has been used to calculate the number of years lost in life.
Results: A total of 402 deaths due to accidents have been registered of whom 76.9% were male and 23.1% were female. The average age of the deceased was 39.4 (SD) and 54.2% lived in urban areas and 45.8% lived in rural areas. The YLLs for the total population was 16493 years. The largest amount was related to traffic accidents with 6628 years. The highest number of years was lost in the age group of 20 to 24 years.
Conclution: The incidence of death from accidents was estimated to be 31.64 in 100,000 people. Considering the high mortality rate and the resulting YLL in Ardabil province, this issue should be considered as a serious public health problem and planning to prevent these injuries.
