Burns constitute one of the most important etiologies of infection and mortality worldwide, with the most significant number of cases in low- and middle-income countries. This is a cross-sectional study on deaths due to burns in southern Iran.
In this study, data on all deaths due to burns in southern Iran between 2004 and 2019 was extracted from the population-based Electronic Death Registry System (EDRS). The Joinpoint Regression method was used to examine the trend of crude mortality rate, standardized mortality rate, and years of life lost (YLL) rate. In order to measure YLL, the number of deaths and life expectancy for different age and gender groups were used, for which the standard life table was considered.
During this study, 2175 deaths due to burns occurred, 50.6% (1106 cases) of which were in men and 38.7% (841 cases) were in the 15-29 age group. The crude and the standardized mortality rate had a decreasing trend during the study years. The total number of YLL was 25260 (0.8 per 1000) in men, 25,785 (0.8 per 1000) in women, and 51,045 (0.8 per 1000) in both genders during the 16 years of the study.
Considering the high mortality rate in the 15-29 age group, which consists of the active and productive labor force, necessary actions are needed in order to improve safety equipment and to make the workplace safe.
烧伤是全球感染和死亡的重要病因之一，其中中低收入国家的病例数量最多。这是伊朗南部烧伤死亡的一项横断面研究。
本研究从基于人群的电子死亡登记系统（EDRS）中提取了 2004 年至 2019 年期间伊朗南部所有因烧伤导致的死亡数据。采用 Joinpoint 回归方法检查粗死亡率、标准化死亡率和寿命损失年（YLL）率的趋势。为了衡量 YLL，使用了不同年龄和性别组别的死亡人数和预期寿命，其中考虑了标准生命表。
在这项研究中，共有 2175 例烧伤死亡，其中 50.6%（1106 例）为男性，38.7%（841 例）为 15-29 岁年龄组。在研究期间，粗死亡率和标准化死亡率呈下降趋势。男性的总 YLL 为 25260（每 1000 人 0.8），女性为 25785（每 1000 人 0.8），男女两性在 16 年的研究中为 51045（每 1000 人 0.8）。
考虑到 15-29 岁年龄组的高死亡率，该年龄段包含了活跃且有生产力的劳动力，因此需要采取必要措施，改善安全设备，确保工作场所的安全。
