a
To account for unique studies that used partially overlapping datasets we adjusted the reported sample sizes by first calculating mean lives covered per year by each study, then calculating an adjusted sample size for that study for each year by removing the pro-rata share of overlapping samples based on the number of overlapping studies for that year.
b
Within-study weighted mean.
