Epidemiological Characteristics of Road Accident Mortality and Identification of Hot Spots: Years of Life Lost in Fars Province, Iran
There is significant accident hotspots along the Shiraz-Marvdasht-Abade towards Esfahan, Shiraz-Kazeroun towards Bushehr, and Kazeroun-Noorabad towards Yasouj routes. In addition, the highest number of YLL due to road accidents occurred among teenagers and young adults. Policymakers need to focus on targeted interventions in these high-risk areas and develop strategies aimed at reducing accidents, particularly among younger males, to enhance road safety and decrease mortality rates.
