The sentences
In terms of age-standardized mortality rate, there was an overall trend of growth in the incidence, prevalence, and disability-adjusted life years of multiple myeloma.
It was noted that earlier cohorts faced significantly higher risks for both incidence and prevalence compared to later cohorts, with relative risks decreasing steadily from cohorts beginning in 1897 up to those in 2017, indicating a notable trend across the decades.
When both the estimated annual percentage changes and its lower 95% confidence interval boundary surpass zero, an increasing trend in the age-standardized mortality rate was confirmed.
