Note that in 1984, 1 case in Connecticut which was mistakenly coded 82 in the original dataset has been corrected to 85 here. Also 1 case in Pennsylvania in 1984 which was mistakenly coded 85 in the original dataset has been corrected to 82 here. ------------------------------------------------------------------- 12.
