JP = joinpoint: was there a joinpoint and if so, in which year; EAPC = Estimated Annual Percent Change (%), EAPC1: EAPC during period from 1998 until joinpoint (in case of a joinpoint) or during the whole period, EAPC2: EAPC during the period from joinpoint until 2007; RR = Rate Ratio, apply to period 1998–2007; n.a. = not applicable
