^aAge-adjusted incidence rates per 100 000 using 19 age groups from the 2000 USA standard population.

^bAmerican Indian/Alaskan Native, Asian/Pacific Islander.

^cAge-adjusted annual average incidence rates, based on 2000 USA Census estimates for age distribution of USA and foreign-born subjects.

^dData for ‘Unknown’ birth place excluded, denominators are either USA-born or foreign-born subjects.

^eSensitivity analysis incorporating ‘Unknown’ birth place cases proportionately distributed within ‘USA-born’ and ‘Foreign-born’ categories.

^fStandard errors for rate ratios not estimable due to aggregate denominator data.
