Footnotes:

Joinpoint Regression Program Version 4.2.0, April 2015, National Cancer Institute. (https://surveillance.cancer.gov/joinpoint/).

The APC is the Annual Percent Change based on rates age-adjusted to the 2000 US Std Population (19 age groups - Census P25-1130).

a Trends are from the SEER 9 areas (San Francisco, Connecticut, Detroit, Hawaii, Iowa, New Mexico, Seattle, Utah, and Atlanta).

b The AAPC is the Average Annual Percent Change and is based on the APCs calculated by Joinpoint over the time range of 1975-2012.

* The APC/AAPC is significantly different from zero (p<.05).

- Joinpoint regression line analysis could not be performed on data series.
