| Note: Numbers through 2001 are Network calculations, while numbers after 2001 are 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 substantially. 5/8/2008 | ||||||||
