The sentences
For GBM, we observed a significant trend of increasing RR with more recent period; however, the magnitude of the increase in incidence rate was not large (6% increase between 1992-1995 and 2004-2007).
Overall, for GBM and non-GBM combined, we observed a slight trend of decreasing incidence rate with more recent period (3% decrease between 1992-1995 and 2004-2007).
The difference in race/ethnic variation between GBM and non-GBM was highly significant among both males and females (p-value for heterogeneity < 0.0001 in each sex).
