  1. 1Rates are per 100,000 person-years for the period from 2004–2008, except year-specific rates, which are per 100,000 individuals.
  2. 2Myositis subgroups were not mutually exclusive, and patients could be assigned to more than one subgroup.
  3. 3Generalized linear model using negative binomial family and log link. Not adjusted for other covariates. Year-specific analysis on adjusted rates; demographic analyses on crude rates.
  4. 4Age and gender adjustment was done for all variables, except age distribution was gender adjusted and gender distribution was age adjusted. Rates reflect 2000 US population.
