  1. 1APC is the annual percent change.
  2. The APC is statistically significantly different from 0 (two-side p < 0.05). * p < 0.05
  3. NOTE: Joinpoint, APC, and significant of APC are estimated using joinpoint analysis (JPA). The maximum of four joinpoints and five line segments was allowed for each long-term trend. In addition, segments had to contain at least two observed data points, and no segment could begin or end closer than two data points from the beginning or end of the data series.
