The aim of this study was to map out some epidemiological aspects of intentional and unintentional injuries among Iranian women of reproductive age using a national registry.
Injury data were taken from a national-based injury surveillance system over the period 2000-2002. The study population comprised 31.5% of the population of Iran.
Of all the 307,064 domestic injuries reported during the years 2000-2002, about 152,600 cases (49.7%) involved women. About half of these women (76,474) were in the reproductive age group. The majority (42.7%) of injuries among women of reproductive age were burn wounds followed by lacerations in 32.6%. Eighty-five percent of suicide cases were poisonings, followed by 11% for suicides by burning. However, 45.2% of burn suicides were fatal, compared with a 0.89% fatality rate for poisonings. Of all female suicide victims, 1029 died, 174 victims became disabled, while the remainder improved or were undergoing therapy when reported.
Injuries, especially burns, are a major public health problem for women of reproductive age.
本研究旨在利用国家登记系统绘制伊朗育龄妇女故意和非故意伤害的一些流行病学方面。
伤害数据取自 2000-2002 年期间基于国家的伤害监测系统。研究人群占伊朗人口的 31.5%。
在 2000-2002 年期间报告的所有 307064 例国内伤害中，约有 152600 例（49.7%）涉及妇女。这些妇女中有一半（76474 人）处于生育年龄组。育龄妇女中大多数（42.7%）伤害是烧伤，其次是 32.6%的裂伤。85%的自杀病例是中毒，其次是 11%的烧伤自杀。然而，45.2%的烧伤自杀是致命的，而中毒的死亡率为 0.89%。在所有女性自杀受害者中，有 1029 人死亡，174 人致残，其余人在报告时有所改善或正在接受治疗。
伤害，特别是烧伤，是育龄妇女的一个主要公共卫生问题。
