Abstract

Background: One of the important dangers which threaten people's life is the increased risk of intentional and non-intentional accidents. Annually, more than 1.3 million people die as a result of these accidents. It is estimated that around 300 still 0000 still 0 deaths occur daily due to TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS which more than half of them are not about even passengers. Considering the importance of car accidents in Iran and its burden, we decided to investigate the trend of traffic accident MORTALITY in a five years period in Khuzestan province.Methods: All Five years data (2006-2010) related to death following accidents, referred to Khuzestan Legal Medicine Center, have been analyzed in STATA software version 11. The trend of traffic accident MORTALITY has been investigated in details of cities during this period.Results: Totally, around 6675 deaths has occurred following TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS in the five years period beginning from 2006. The INCIDENCE of deaths decreased from 36.4 in 100, 000 in 2006 to 29.6 in 2010. On the whole, 18.17% of them were female and 81.38% were male. The cause of death in 46.84% was head injury, in 11.79% was head injury and bleeding, in 6.05% was multiple fractures and in 60.04% was just bleeding. Totally, 45.06% of the fatalities were the drivers of vehicles and 32.83% were other passengers.Conclusion: Seven percent decrease in risk of MORTALITY in spite of increased number of vehicles in the province is a sign of relative improvement in driving culture, roads situation and medical and emergency facilities, but still many actions have to be done to reach to the ideal position. Inter-organizational cooperation would be essential for improvements.
