Notes: Annual percent change (APC) and 95% confidence interval (CI) estimated from a linear mixed model with a random intercept and fixed linear time. APCs in italics are not statistically significant. Positive APCs, which indicate increasing incidence over time, are in red (color shading darkens with increasing values); negative APCs, which indicate decreasing incidence mortality over time, are in blue.
