Data on national rates of suicide is limited in Iran, preventing an action plan for health scope of suicide prevention. The current brief study was conducted to review available national published data on suicide and to interpret the probable discrepancies. We evaluated all 20-year recent published original articles on committed suicides searching Iranian scientific databases, PubMed, and Google Scholar with the keywords of suicide, mortality, and Iran. Articles showed an overall increased trend of suicidal deaths in Iran. Discrepancies existed regarding suicide rate and demographic characteristics among 9 English and Persian published articles. Although a suicide rate of 6.2 per 100 000 was reported in 2003, almost 31 times greater than 1991, an average suicide rate of 9.9 per 100 000 was calculated based on data interpretations. : Apparently, Iran has had the highest increase in suicide-related deaths among Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMR) and Islamic countries during the recent decades. National policies to prevent suicide have not been efficient enough, and urgent intervention is needed..
伊朗全国自杀率的数据有限，这使得制定预防自杀健康领域的行动计划变得困难。当前的简短研究旨在回顾伊朗已发表的关于自杀的全国数据，并解读可能存在的差异。我们通过在伊朗科学数据库、PubMed和谷歌学术上搜索以自杀、死亡率和伊朗为关键词的所有近20年发表的关于自杀的原创文章进行评估。文章显示伊朗自杀死亡总体呈上升趋势。9篇英文和波斯文发表文章在自杀率和人口统计学特征方面存在差异。尽管2003年报告的自杀率为每10万人6.2例，几乎是1991年的31倍，但根据数据解读计算出的平均自杀率为每10万人9.9例。显然，近几十年来，伊朗在东地中海区域（EMR）和伊斯兰国家中与自杀相关的死亡人数增长最多。国家预防自杀政策效率不够高，需要紧急干预。
