AAPC: average annual percent change; CNS, Central Nervous System; GCT, Germ Cell Tumors.

Results have to be interpreted with caution.

a

Number of cases.

b

Φ: degree of overdispersion estimated by the ratio of the deviance of the Poisson regression model to the number of degrees of freedom.

c

Average annual Percent Change and the 95% confidence interval estimated with a Poisson regression model.

d

Binomial negative model.

e

Less than 15 cases per year on average.
