State of usual residence

Figure 2 shows the age adjusted rate of incidence of persisting SCI from traumatic causes by State of usual residence. Incidence rates for the ACT and Northern Territory are not shown due to low case counts reported by the SUs for residents of these jurisdictions. It is evident from the 95% confidence intervals, based on the Poisson distribution, that no State had an incidence rate that was significantly different from the National incidence rate. Queensland had an incidence rate that was significantly higher than the Victorian incidence rate. No other State differences were statistically significant.
