Cause‐specific cardiovascular diseases categories are sort ranked by magnitude of the burden measure in 2017. AAPC is considered statistically significant when its value is different from "zero" at alpha = 0.05, or zero value is not within the AAPC 95 UI limits. There is a constant trend when the zero value is within both 95% UI limits for the AAPC. There is an increasing or upward trend when both AAPC 95% UI limits are positive, and a decreasing or downward trend when both AAPC 95% UI limits are negative.
