The APC was reported for time periods where a statistically significant trend change occurred.
Change point is a specific time period where a statistically significant trend change occurred.
Variables significant at ***p<0.001.
*ASR per 100 000 population at the start and end of the change points identified and at the start and end of the study period.
AAPC, average annual percentage change; APC, annual percentage change; ASR, age-standardised rate; CNS, Central Nervous System.
