Non-communicable disease (NCD) accounted for 62.8% of adult mortality. Mortality from communicable diseases, maternal conditions and nutritional deficiencies followed this by accounting for 30.3% of total mortality. Injury accounted for 6.8% of total mortality. We have observed a significant decline in mortality attributed to group one cause of death (43.25% in 2007 to 12.34% in 2017, p&lt;0.001). However, we observed a significant increase in mortality attributed to group II cause of death (from 49.95% in 2007 to 81.17% in 2017, p&lt;0.001). The top five leading cause of death in 2017 were cerebrovascular disease (12.8%), diabetes mellitus (8.1%), chronic liver disease (6.3%), hypertension (5.7%), ischaemic heart disease (5.7%) and other specified neoplasm (5.2%).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We documented an epidemiological shift in cause of mortality from communicable diseases to NCD over 10 years. There is a great progress in reducing mortality due to communicable diseases over the past years. However, the burden of NCDs call for actions for improving access to quality health service, improved case detection and community education to increase awareness. Integrating NCD intervention in to a well-established and successful programme targeting communicable diseases in the country might be beneficial for improving provision of comprehensive healthcare.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1136\/bmjopen-2020-047095","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,16]],"date-time":"2021-11-16T11:56:33Z","timestamp":1637063793000},"page":"e047095","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1136\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Trends and causes of adult mortality from 2007 to 2017 using verbal autopsy method, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"11","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6889-3955","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Esete Habtemariam","family":"Fenta","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nutrition and Dietetics, Addis Ababa University College of Health Sciences, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9310-8170","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Binyam Girma","family":"Sisay","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nutrition and Dietetics, Addis Ababa University College of Health Sciences, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Seifu H","family":"Gebreyesus","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nutrition and Dietetics, Addis Ababa University, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bilal Shikur","family":"Endris","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nutrition and Dietetics, Addis Ababa University, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025121601000938000_11.11.e047095.1","unstructured":"Rippin N .
