Given the importance of causes of death for health decision-making, we conducted a study in 2023 to investigate the causes of death in Southern Khorasan Province in Iran. The data were obtained from the "death registration system" maintained by the Health Deputy of the Birjand University of Medical Sciences, Iran.
The four leading causes—cardiovascular diseases, cancers and tumors, diseases of the respiratory system, and road traffic injuries (RTIs)—accounted for 73% of deaths in Southern Khorasan province in 2023. Notably, road accidents alone represented 6.5% of total deaths in the province. It is important to highlight that the average age of those who passed away is approximately 40 years, with approximately 76.5% being males.
