The aim of this study was to examine autopsy cases resulting from EIs and to compare pediatric and adult groups with respect to sociodemographic data, clinical characteristics, location of the incident, electricity entry\u2013exit wound characteristics, current direction, pathological effects of the electric shocks on the body, and cause of death. A total of 8075 autopsies conducted between 2012 and 2022 were retrospectively examined. \u015eanliurfa is a city in the southeast of Turkey with the highest birth rate in the country. Of 123 cases of death resulting from EIs in \u015eanliurfa, 58 (47.2%) were children (age\u2009&lt;\u200918\u2009years). In the majority of children (81%), a low\u2010voltage injury resulted from a domestic appliance while the children were playing at home in a rural area. In the vast majority of adults, a high\u2010voltage injury (HVI) resulted from a workplace accident due to working with HVI materials in an area outside the home. The manner of death was accidental in all the electric shock injuries. The electricity entry and exit wounds formed as a result of EIs had similar characteristics in both children and adults, with no significant difference identified. In the province of \u015eanliurfa, Turkey, which borders Syria and where the main occupation is agricultural activities, there is a need to increase electrical safety precautions within the home, educate parents, and increase electrical safety conditions and worker education in the workplace.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/1556-4029.15351","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,10]],"date-time":"2023-08-10T04:24:53Z","timestamp":1691641493000},"page":"2076-2084","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Deaths associated with electric shock injuries in children and adults: A 10\u2010year retrospective examination in \u015eanl\u0131urfa, Southeast Turkey (2012\u20132022)"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"68","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4029-2613","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ahmet Sedat","family":"D\u00fcndar","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Council of Forensic Medicine  \u015eanl\u0131urfa Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7185-2620","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"\u0130smail","family":"Alt\u0131n","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Council of Forensic Medicine  \u015eanl\u0131urfa Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8418-2785","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Cihan","family":"Aks\u00f6z","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Council of Forensic Medicine  Bergama\u2010\u0130zmir Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3747-0191","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Abdullah Benna","family":"Sar\u0131n","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Council of Forensic Medicine  Van Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8474-2826","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Bora","family":"\u00d6zdemir","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Council of Forensic Medicine  \u0130stanbul Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_8_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.hcl.2009.06.001"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_3_1","first-page":"26","article-title":"Aetiology and outcome of paediatric burns","volume":"6","author":"Saleem N","year":"2001","journal-title":"J Surg Pakistan"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/B978-0-323-47661-4.00037-X"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/00450618.2021.1973098"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/s0196\u20100644(05)80468\u20108"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/ped.14008"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jflm.2015.02.002"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archpedi.1997.02170440058010"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/s0305\u20104179(97)00028\u20104"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1023\/a:1016623318049"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_12_1","unstructured":"Turkish Statistical Institute.Child with Statistics.2022.
