Background

Reducing child injury mortality is an important factor in directing national and international policy-makers to program appropriate cause-specific interventions. The systematic review and meta-analysis study was performed to provide a clear view of child injury mortality in Iran.

Methods

A systematic electronic search of PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, SID, and Elmnet was performed to identify the Persian and English articles published between 2005 and 2018. All studies reporting child injury mortality were gathered according to our inclusion and exclusion criteria. After quality appraisal, data were extracted and analyzed.

Results

Twelve studies with an overall sample size of 22,721 met our inclusion criteria. The prevalence of mortality due to road accident, falling, drowning, poisoning and other causes of death were 56.8%, 11.3%, 8.6%, 5.7% and, 17.6%, respectively. The proportion of injury in all-cause mortality in 0–19 and 0–6 age groups were 11.9% and 16.9%, respectively.

Conclusion

Our findings suggest a relatively high mortality rate for road traffic accidents, which should be taken into account seriously. Developing preventive policies is essential to achieve better standards of road transportation and reduce related mortality in Iran.

背景

降低儿童伤害死亡率是指导国家和国际政策制定者制定针对特定原因的适当干预措施的重要因素。进行了系统的审查和荟萃分析研究，以清楚地了解伊朗的儿童伤害死亡率。

方法

对PubMed，Scopus，Web of Science，SID和Elmnet进行了系统的电子搜索，以识别2005年至2018年之间发表的波斯语和英语文章。所有报告儿童伤害死亡率的研究都是根据我们的纳入和排除标准进行的。经过质量评估后，提取并分析数据。

结果

十二项研究的总样本量为22,721，符合我们的纳入标准。道路交通事故，摔倒，溺水，中毒和其他死亡原因导致的死亡率分别为56.8％，11.3％，8.6％，5.7％和17.6％。0-19岁年龄段和0-6岁年龄段的伤害在全因死亡率中所占的比例分别为11.9％和16.9％。

结论

我们的发现表明，道路交通事故的死亡率较高，应该认真考虑。制定预防政策对于提高伊朗的公路运输标准和降低相关死亡率至关重要。
