Abbreviations: IRR, incidence rate ratios; CI, confidence intervals; AAA, abdominal aortic aneurysm; CAS, carotid artery stenosis; PAD, peripheral arterial disease

^aSex-stratified US population counts were obtained using 2000 and 2010 Census data and modeled using linear regression to get yearly estimates which accounted for population increases; sex-stratified disease prevalence was obtained from the National Institute of Health and Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AAA: male 3.0%, female: 1.0%; CAS: male 3.8%, female 2.7%; PAD: male 4.3%, female 4.3%); population estimates and disease prevalence were multiplied together to obtain yearly estimates
