Findings: Out of 18265 deaths, 1305 cases (15.7%) were related to accidents and incidents, of which 686 deaths (52.57%) were caused by traffic accidents. The highest frequency of accidents and incidents was 576 cases (44.13%) due to a person being injured in an unknown (traffic) accident and 182 cases (13.95%) being exposed to an unknown factor. The mean age in deaths caused by accidents and incidents in the traffic accident group was 46.05±22.07 and in the non-traffic accident group was 43.35±23.49 years (p=0.033). As the decades of age increased, the death rate increased (p<0.001). Conclusion: Based on the results of this study, most of the deaths caused by accidents and incidents based on the classification system of the causes of death were due to the injury of a person in an unknown accident, exposure to unknown factors and poisoning.
