“…Moreover, as people with a suicide history are always considered as a high-risk group, this result can be used for planning preventive interventions for this group. The results of this study show that the suicide rate is higher in females than in males which is in line with studies done by Rostami et al (females 60%, males 40%), 11 [17][18][19][20][21] There may be different reasons for the higher suicide rate in females such as more social and economic limitations for them in the study population. However, in a study by Daliri et al, the suicide rate during 2001-2014 has been reported to be higher in males than in females, which is one of the few studies that report conflicting results.…”

“…In general, compared to the results of other studies conducted in the world, the prevalence of completed suicides is lower in Iran compared to other countries, and Iran can be placed in the group of areas with a low suicide rate. Also, according to the conducted studies, there is a decrease in the prevalence of suicide in Iran, and our study also confirms this finding ( 30 , 31 ). The high prevalence of suicide in men is influenced by the theory that feeling is a cultural and social thing; in such a way that cultural patterns affect the people of a society and people develop those feelings that they think they should express in the society.…”

Objective: suicide attempts and suicide death fall within a category of psychological disorders that is under the influence of economic, social, and cultural factors. Awareness of the prevalence of this phenomenon is essential for the adoption of preventive policies. Accordingly, the current study was carried out in order to determine the prevalence of suicide attempts and suicide deaths via Meta-analysis in Iran. Method: This study is a systematic review and meta-analysis of articles published between 2010 and 2021 to estimate the prevalence of suicide attempts and suicide deaths in Iran. Accordingly, databases including Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane Library, Science Direct, Google Scholar, SID, and Magiran were searched and all related articles were extracted by the statistical tests of random and fixed effects model, meta-regression, and funnel plot using the STATA software. These articles were then analyzed. Results: A total of 20 studies were entered into the systematic review, with a total of 271,212 attempted suicides and 22,780 suicide deaths. Accordingly, the prevalence of suicide attempts in the whole population was 131.0 (CI 95%: 124.0 – 137.0) per 100,000 people (152 per 100,000 women and 128 per 100,000 men). Moreover, the prevalence of suicide death was 8.14 (CI 95% 7.8 – 8.5) per 100,000 people in the general population (5.0 per 100,000 women and 9.1 per 100,000 men). Conclusion: According to these findings, Iran can be ranked among the countries with a low prevalence of suicide attempts and completed suicides (compared to the global average). Although the trend of completed suicides is declining, the trend of suicide attempts is increasing and has often affected young people.

The most common method of suicide was medication overdose (91.1%). In multivariable analysis, male gender (OR: 2.67; CI 95% 1.53 to 4.64) was a risk factor for fatal suicide and application of chemical methods (OR: 0.018; CI 95% 0.010 to 0.032) was a protective factor. Results regarding completed suicide trend analysis shows that this trend has had a significant statistical difference in men (p = 0.019) but in women this trend doesn't statistically significant difference. (p = 0.209). Conclusions: According to the findings of the present study, attempted and completed suicide rate in Najafabad is relatively high compared to other regions in Islamic Republic of Iran.
