  • Note: CI = confidence interval, EMRR = excess mortality rate ratio, NA = not applicable.

  • * Diagnosis between Jan. 1, 1992, and Dec. 31, 2009.

  • According to Statistics Canada protocols, the counts in this table, including totals, are randomly rounded either up or down to a multiple of 5. When data are summed or grouped, the total value may not match the individual values because totals and subtotals are rounded independently.

  • Diagnosis between Jan. 1, 2001, and Dec. 31, 2009.
