The age standardized incidence rates are expressed per 100,000 person-years. Age standardization performed using world standard population proportions for the listed age strata [12].
Two patients with missing data on sex were excluded from this analysis.
Person-years calculated for each year from 2000–2009, from population data and projections from the Honduras National Statistics [Census] Institute (INE).
