Summary: | The study aimed to identify the factors associated with those injured due to the unrest during 2004-2011 in the three southern border provinces and the surrounding districts of Songkhla, Thailand. In total, 13,964 victims were reported including 4,142 (29.7%) fatalities. Logistic regression showed that males were 2.32 times more likely to die than females while Muslims were 1.45 times more likely to die than non-Muslims. Victims working for the police or military had a lower risk of mortality than other occupations (1.9 times). Victims who had been injured by a gunshot or other causes had a higher risk of mortality than those who were affected by a bomb blast. |
