IQR: interquartile range; IRR: incidence rate ratio

^aThe measure of association represents the increase in the incidence rate ratio (IRR-1) expressed as a percentage every 10% of the independent variable along with the 95% confidence interval (95%CI). All measures of association are adjusted by States.

^bWith document that proves it.
