NOTE. Joinpoint regression analysis was not performed for NAFLD-related mortality among Cubans due to missing reports on outcomes in certain years. For each trend segment, the APC and the average APC were obtained to outline temporal changes accounting for transitions within each trend segment analyzed by joinpoint regression.
ALD, alcoholic liver disease; APC, annual percentage change; CI, confidence interval; NAFLD, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.
