  1. a) Results of a spatial discrete Poisson model using the SatScanTM software. A circular scanning window containing up to 50% of the population at risk was used. Age groups (0–9, 10–24, 25–34, 35–49, and 50+ years) and sex were used as covariates to account for confounding. Significant at p ≤ 0.05.
