aHigh-burden states include: Jalisco, Nuevo León, Chihuahua, Tamaulipas, Baja California, Sinaloa, Coahuila, Sonora, Durango, Aguascalientes, Nayarit, Colima, Baja California Sur.
bRates are means of the age-specific rates for the eight 5-year age categories from 30 to 69 for the time period of 1995–2015.
