a
SD, standard deviation.
b
In the calculations of prevalence, the denominator may be less than the number shown for n due to missing or invalid assay data. Values are the prevalence unless otherwise indicated in the stub entry for that row (i.e., mean and median age). Values given in parentheses are identified by the information in parentheses in the stub entry for that row.
c
“Other” races include American Indian, Native Alaskan, Asian, and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander.
d
Consists of patients seen in an emergency department and/or hospitalized.
