Abstract

Background: Mortality statistics are essential for public health planning, policy and decision-making. However, underreporting of mortality has been a significant concern in Islamic Republic of Iran.

Aim: To analyse trends in mortality and crude death rates, and the completeness of death registration in Islamic Republic of Iran.

Methods: We obtained and analysed mortality indicators for Islamic Republic of Iran from 2006 to 2021.

Results: Completeness of death registration increased consistently from approximately 80% in 2006 to 94% in 2021 for both sexes. However, there were variations in completeness from province to province. Mortality rates were higher for males than for females.

Conclusion: Consistency in the completeness of death registration varied significantly among the provinces, therefore, policies and interventions are needed to address these disparities and improve the overall quality and completeness of mortality data in Islamic Republic of Iran.

伊朗伊斯兰共和国死亡登记完整性的历史趋势。

背景：死亡率统计对公共卫生规划、政策和决策至关重要。然而，少报死亡率在伊朗伊斯兰共和国一直是一个令人严重关切的问题。目的：分析伊朗伊斯兰共和国死亡率和粗死亡率的趋势以及死亡登记的完整性。方法：我们获得并分析了2006年至2021年伊朗伊斯兰共和国的死亡率指标。结果：两性死亡登记的完整性从2006年的约80%持续增加到2021年的94%。然而，各省在完整性方面存在差异。男性的死亡率高于女性。结论：各省之间死亡登记完整性的一致性差异很大，因此，需要制定政策和干预措施来解决这些差异，并提高伊朗伊斯兰共和国死亡率数据的整体质量和完整性。
