	note: numbers up to and including 2001 are from Network calculations, while numbers after 2001 are from CMS calculations.  Network calculations used all available data, while CMS calculations censored subjects according to criteria listed in the CPM Project Annual Report.  In no case do results differ to any substantial degree.
