^aStatistically significant trend (P < 0.05).

¹Joinpoint results are not shown for mortality in some countries, because no case of suicide occurred in at least 1 year in the observed period.

²For full period presented average annual percent change.

^aStatistically significant trend.

¹Joinpoint results are not shown for the subgroups aged < 10 years for mortality, because fewer than 5 cases of suicide cases occurred in each of the decennium in any year.

²Average annual, per 100000 people. AAPC: Average annual percent change; CI: Confidence interval.
