The estimated annual percentage change (EAPC) was calculated by fitting a linear regression model to the natural logarithm of the ASR: y = α + β x + ε y = l n [ A S R ] x = c a l e n d a r y e a r E A P C = 100 ( e β − 1 ) An increasing trend was defined as an EAPC with a 95% CI entirely above zero; a decreasing trend as a 95% CI entirely below zero.
