“…In a review of suicide data for the time period from March 2001 to March 2007 that were retrieved from health system databases of 41 Iranian medical universities, the prevalence of the completed suicides was 7.3%, which is much lower than what we observed in our study ( 41 ). Moreover, a wide range of variations in the prevalence of case fatality among suicide cases across the country has been shown, changing between 2% and 25.3% ( 11 , 13 , 28 , 42 ). Given the fact that more than 90% of the cases included in this study were those who were referred from other districts and hence more likely to suffer from life-threatening complications that made them eligible for referral to more advanced and equipped centers at the provincial level, over-representation of those cases is most likely to have resulted in more fatal cases as compared with figures from different studies across the country.…”

“…However, in studies from different geographical regions of Iran a wide range of violent and non-violent methods are used, which seems to be influenced by the social and cultural context of the communities. For instance, a study on the case fatality rate of the different suicide methods in Ilam province showed that the most common suicide methods in fatal cases were hanging (75.4%) and self-immolation (68.3%), and the least fatal methods were drug ingestion and cutting ( 42 ).…”

Background:Suicide is a growing public health problem all over the world. Understanding the prevalence of suicide and its correlates is of great importance in planning programs to reduce the risk in different societies.Objectives:The present study was conducted to assess the epidemiology of suicide and its associated risk factors in Sistan and Balouchestan Province, southeast of Iran.Patients and Methods:We investigated a total of 369 suicide cases admitted to the emergency department of Zahedan Khatam- Al- Anbia hospital between March 2010 and February 2012. Data was collected from the hospital information system (HIS) using a semi-structured questionnaire. Descriptive statistics and chi-square tests were used to identify the factors associated with suicidal behaviors.Results:A greater proportion of the study subjects (65%) were female. They were more likely to be young (43.5% in the age group of 16 to 25 years) and illiterate or have a primary school education (20.9% and 48.8%, respectively). Housewives and self-employed individuals and those with a low or medium income dominated the suicide cases. The most common method of suicide was burning (53.4%) followed by drug ingestion (23.8%). One third of the suicide cases occurred during spring. The case fatality rate was 49.6% and it was significantly associated with low income, summer time suicides, burning as a method of suicide.Conclusions:This study highlights the burden of suicide and itspotential socio-demographic risk factors in Sistan and Blouchestan Province. This information has an implication for planning the preventive measures, policy making and future research.

“…A decreasing trend of suicide attempt has further complex reasons, which needs a closer look into this study. Collectively, we face 3-to 4-fold more suicide attempt prevalence and incidence rate compared with other reports in Iran and Kerman province (10,(15)(16)(17)(18). There may be some features, including environmental, geographical (water, soil, and weather), social, cultural, economic, worldview, unconscious in the city, which may have a role in this phenomenon.…”

Background: The study of suicide and identification of mental health problems, social, cultural, and environmental communities are effective for preventive measures and reducing risk factors. Objectives: This study aimed to study the epidemiology of suicide and its associated factors over 2011 - 2015 in Zarand. Methods: In this observational-epidemiological study (cohort study), all people who committed suicide in 2011 - 2015 were recorded on a standardized questionnaire, and demographic data of Zarand were collected by the health center and government. Data were analyzed by SPSS software using descriptive statistics, Chi-square tests, and logistic regression analysis. Results: During 2011 - 2015, 2,401 persons (372 at one hundred thousand) committed suicide, of whom 33 cases (5.1 at one hundred thousand) died. Chi-square and logistic regression information showed suicide attempt rate in people with middle school education was 15.7 times greater than less or more educated ones; similar results showed the rate of suicide of the people in the age group 15-29 was 6.3 times higher than other age groups, retired, and unemployed 3.1 times more than employed and finally, urban living had suicide attempt rate of 1.6 times higher than rural living. Conclusions: In Zarand, the incidence of suicide is much higher than the global, country, and province average (more than three to four times), and leading to death was much less than expected. However, there are significant differences in the cause and manner and demographic characteristics with other studies, which require the creation of Suicide Registry Center (SRC) and qualitative studies with form layer analysis of causes in Zarand.

“…A review of the literature revealed disparities between recorded suicide rates in Ilam province and the national reports ( 21 ). A national analysis also revealed that Western provinces including Ilam, Kermanshah, and Hamedan had the highest rate of suicide in Iran, with the rates of 20, 14, and 10, respectively per 100,000 people between the years 2006 and 2010 ( 18 , 21 - 23 ). In addition, suicide rates in the recent years (2006-2010) revealed a higher annual percentage change (APC) in Ilam (+10%) compared to other provinces ( 18 ).…”

Background: Seasonality in suicide has been investigated from the early 19th century to explore the productive environmental variables. Seasonality studies can provide information on prevention and interventions in suicide. In this study, we examined seasonality in suicide and aimed to explore the differences in seasonality between rural and urban areas, mental disorders, and genders. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, overall identified suicide cases in Ilam province from 21 March 2010 and 11 December 2014 were identified, using systematic registration suicide data (SRSD). Two methods were used separately to analyze seasonality (Chisquare, Edwards' T). Seasonal effect (peak/ trough seasons) and (deaths/ attempts suicide) was explored by ratio statistics. The null hypothesis was that the completed suicides in each method group were evenly distributed over a year. Results: Significant seasonality was observed in suicide during the study period, with one peak in the spring and one in the winter. Our results showed that suicide seasonality following mental disorders was statistically significant with a peak in the spring, regardless of other factors such as gender and age. When all non- mental suicides are taken into account, the seasonality remains statistically significant, but the peak season is shifted to autumn. Conclusion: Investigating suicide in Ilam revealed a significant seasonality for both rural and urban areas, which was greater in the urban part. A significant seasonality in suicide was observed in attempters with mental disorders. In suicide attempters with mental disorders, findings showed two peaks in the spring and the autumn.
