Table 3.

Annual percentage change in incidence rate of all 10 RIDs, from 2004 to 2020.

Diseases Trends Annual percentage change (95% CI) P-value
All 10 RIDs Stable −2.2 (−4.6 to 0.3) 0.1
TB Stable −1.9 (−4.1 to 0.4) 0.1
Epidemic cerebrospinal meningitis Decrease −21.8 (−24.9 to −18.5) < 0.05
Seasonal influenza Increase 29.7 (16.6–44.4) < 0.05
pH1N1* Decrease −59.4 (−78.1 to −24.8) < 0.05
Measles Decrease −8.3 (−14.6 to −1.6) < 0.05
Avian influenza H5N1 Decrease −13.5 (−20 to 6.6) < 0.05
Pertussis Stable −7.9 (−17.2 to 2.3) 0.1
Mumps Decrease −11.3 (−16.4 to −5.9) < 0.05
Scarlet fever Stable 1.4 (−1.9 to 4.8) 0.4
Rubella Decrease −0.5 (−0.8 to −0.1) < 0.05

A normal (Z) distribution was used to assess the significance of the annual percentage change, and the parametric method was used to calculate 95% CIs.

*

Results of Cases and APC from pH1N1 were based on the full period from 2009 to 2013.

Joinpoint program provides significant values as P < 0.05.

When incidence data contained zero, we substitute the zero with 1% of the smallest incidence.
