Notes
Asterisks*
An asterisk indicates that data
should be interpreted with caution. Asterisks were used to note low number of
events (fewer than 10) or unstable data with large confidence intervals. Data
or estimates with low numbers and large confidence intervals indicate that a
data point may not be a true representation of the larger population.
NA (Not Available)
Data that are not available are noted as NA. The most
frequent reasons for using the NA annotation include the unavailability of
longitudinal data, data suppression from the original data source due to a low
number event, or statistically unstable estimates.
