Background: The article provides the analysis of death rates in road traffic accidents in Kazakhstan from 2004 to 2010 and explores the use of sanitary aviation. Methods: Data of fatalities caused by road traffic accidents were collected and analysed. Descriptive and analytical methods of epidemiology and biomedical statistics were applied. Results: Totaly 27,003 people died as a result of road traffic accidents in this period. The death rate for the total population due to road traffic accidents was 25.0?2.1 0 / 0000 . The death rate for men was (38.3?3.2 0 / 0000 ), which was higher ( P <0.05) than that for women (12.6?1.1 0 / 0000 ). High death rates in the entire male population were identified among men of 30-39 years old, whereas the highest rates for women were attributed to the groups of 50-59 years old and 70-79 years old. In time dynamics, death rates tended to decrease: the total population (? dec =?2.4%), men (? dec =?2.3%) and women (? dec =?1.4%). When researching territorial relevance, the rates were established as low (to 18.3 0 / 0000 ), average (between18.3 and24.0 0 / 0000 ) and high (from 24.0 0 / 0000 and above). Thus, the regions with high rates included Akmola region (24.3 0 / 0000 ), Mangistau region (25.9 0 / 0000 ), Zhambyl region (27.3 0 / 0000 ), Almaty region (29.3 0 / 0000 ) and South Kazakhstan region (32.4 0 / 0000 ). Conclusion: The identified epidemiological characteristics of the population deaths rates from road traffic accidents should be used in integrated and targeted interventions to enhance prevention of injuries in accidents.
