Abbreviations: CI - Confidence Intervals.
Rates are per 1,000,000 and age-adjusted to the 2000 US Std Population (19 age groups - Census P25–1130) standard; Confidence intervals (Tiwari, R.C. [2006] method) are 95% for rates.
Nationally, identification of benign brain tumors began in United States cancer registries on 1/1/2004 mandated by Public Law 107, 260, the Benign Brain Tumor Cancer Registries Amendment Act (https://training.seer.cancer.gov/brain/non-malignant/).
Age standardized rate not calculated for counts < 10. Counts < 10 are italicized.
Statistics not displayed due to fewer than 6 cases to preserve confidentiality.
The age-standardized rate is significantly different to the rate for Northeast after adjusting for multiple testing, (p<0.01, overall significance level).
