Résumé
Burns is one of the most important health issues as well as the most expensive injuries that take place at all ages. It also considers a disaster for society, family, and person. The aim of the study was to examining fatal burns and associated factors' in burn unit patients in Iran. a case-control study was carried out in the poorest region of Iran. The research population consisted of all patients in a burn unit in Zahedan public hospital during 2013-2018. Using systematic random sampling method, 430 persons (215 dead persons, 215 released persons) were entered into the study. The data form and SPSS software were used for data gathering and the data analyzing, respectively. about 41.4% of dead patients were at the age of 25-44 and 60.5% of dead patients were women. Also, 96.3% of expired patients were on level 3 burns. The cause of the burns in 46% of death was flame, oil, and gasoline. Moreover, there is a significant relationship between burns and the age, gender, residence place, history of the previous disease, the cause of burns, burns percentage and the burn level in both case and control group. in the poorest region of Iran, younger (as the labor force) and women were at high risk of death due to burn. Developing gas infrastructures in this region could decrease the incidence and severity of burns.

METHODS
a case-control study was carried out in the poorest region of Iran. The research population consisted of all patients in a burn unit in Zahedan public hospital during 2013-2018. Using systematic random sampling method, 430 persons (215 dead persons, 215 released persons) were entered into the study. The data form and SPSS software were used for data gathering and the data analyzing, respectively.
RESULTS
RESULTS
about 41.4% of dead patients were at the age of 25-44 and 60.5% of dead patients were women. Also, 96.3% of expired patients were on level 3 burns. The cause of the burns in 46% of death was flame, oil, and gasoline. Moreover, there is a significant relationship between burns and the age, gender, residence place, history of the previous disease, the cause of burns, burns percentage and the burn level in both case and control group.
