 AB    The trend from 1983 to 1990 of drug-related mortality (defined as the
       sum of deaths from acute drug reactions and the acquired
       immuno-deficiency syndrome [AIDS] in drug users) among the population 15
       to 39 years of age in Madrid, Spain, was studied and compared with
       mortality from all causes. All of the mortality rates increased from
       1983 to 1990: all causes, from 101/100,000 to 148/100,000; acute drug
       reactions, from 3/100,000 to 15/100,000; and AIDS, from 0 to 20/100,000.
       Drug-related mortality represented 60% of the increase in the rate from
       all causes in males and 170% of the increase in females. The increases
       in drug-related mortality are likely to continue in the future.
