Joinpoint regression analysis of trends in the incidence and mortality rate of cervical cancer

Category	ASR		APC (95% CI)
	1993	2012
Incidence	32.8	15.9	–3.9 (–4.2 to –3.6)*
Mortality	5.2	2.1	–4.8 (–5.1 to –4.4)*

The Joinpoint regression model was used to test whether age-standardized rates have significantly changed. The trends in cervical cancer rates were summarized as APC.

ASR, age-standardized rate per 100,000 women (adjusted for Segi’s world standard population); APC, annual percent change; CI, confidence interval.
