  abstract = {{T}o quantify the mortality impact of {AIDS} in the city of {A}bidjan ({C}{\^o}te d'{I}voire) by a full scale analysis of mortality trends before and after the onset of the epidemic. {D}ata on deaths registered in the 10 vital registration centers of the city between 1973 and 1992, and data on causes of deaths in the four public hospitals were coded and investigated. {D}ata on deaths were compared with census data in order to compute death rates. {L}ife tables were computed for each of the 20 years of the study. {T}he trends in death rates were analysed during the 10 years before the onset of the {AIDS} epidemic (1973-1982) and compared with the changing death rates in the following 10 years (1983-1992). {D}eaths attributable to {AIDS} were defined as those in excess of the original trends. {T}he evolution in the number of deaths in the hospital allowed an analysis by cause of death. {T}here was a marked increase in death rates starting in 1986, date of the first diagnosed {AIDS} cases in the city. {T}his increase was significant for both sexes, but more pronounced among men. {I}t was concentrated primarily among young adults (aged 25-44 years) and among older children (aged 5-14 years), and most of it was considered to be attributable to {AIDS} and related infections, tuberculosis in particular. {W}hen data were cumulated from 1986 to 1992, approximately 25000 persons were estimated to have died of {AIDS}. {T}he high number of {AIDS} deaths estimated in {A}bidjan underlines the heavy toll already paid by african populations, and calls for intensive action.
