a

Joinpoint version 3.5.2, Bethesda, MD http://surveillance.cancer.gov/joinpoint/.

b

0 joinpoint model results are included for all groups analyzed and 1 joinpoint model results are included for those which a significant change in trend was indicated.

c

APC = Annual Percent Change in TB case counts.

d

CI = Confidence Interval.

e

Indicates the year in which a significant change in trend occurred.

*

The APC is significantly different from 0 at p<0.05. For the 1 joinpoint model, asterisks indicate which segment(s) had a significant APC. The Philippines, India and China did not have a significant APC result from either 0 or 1 joinpoint models.
