Purpose

The number of flood disaster deaths has been on the rise in recent years. The current review investigated and categorized the risk factors of deaths from floods in parallel with preventive and control measures designed to minimize deaths from floods.

Methods

In a systematic review, International electronic databases including PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar were investigated for articles published in English language. In addition, Iranian databases including IranMedex, Irandoc, Magiran, and Scientific Information Database (SID) were investigated for studies published in Persian. ProQuest database was also searched for related theses. The studies were selected regardless their methods but based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The data were extracted, coded and prepared for further analysis. Finally, descriptive and thematic analyses were conducted.

Results

A total of 114 factors were identified and categorized into the following five category that can influence on flood death.: hazard related factors, and individual, environmental, socio-economic, and managerial categories.

Conclusions

The study identified many factors that affect flood deaths. The variety and the diverse nature of the factors necessitate appropriate interventions for removing or reducing the effects of the identified factors. More quantitative analytical studies are needed to confirm causal relationship between extracted factors and floods death.

结果

总共确定了 114 个因素，并将其分为以下五类可能影响洪水死亡的因素：与灾害相关的因素，以及个人、环境、社会经济和管理类别。

结论

该研究确定了许多影响洪水死亡的因素。因素的多样性和多样性需要适当的干预措施来消除或减少已确定因素的影响。需要更多的定量分析研究来确认提取的因素与洪水死亡之间的因果关系。
