* Adjusted by year of age and deprivation.
** log (μ) = a + b. WA + c. Deprivation + d. WA. Deprivation + e. Age + f. WA. Age + g. Gender + h. WA. Gender.
Where a, c, e and g are the intercept and coefficients for England, and b, d, f and h are the intercept and coefficients for Western Australia. Deprivation used as numeric (Incidence rate ratio represents increased risk per quintile of deprivation, from least to most deprived).
