Interpretation of Incidence Rates Data
Incidence Rate Report for Rhode Island by County
Kidney & Renal Pelvis (Late Stage^), 2016-2020
All Races (includes Hispanic), Both Sexes, All Ages
Sorted by Percentlate
Explanation of Column HeadersObjective - The objective of *** is from the Healthy People 2020 project done by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Incidence Rate (95% Confidence Interval) - The incidence rate is based upon 100,000 people and is an annual rate (or average annual rate) based on the time period indicated. Rates are age-adjusted by 5-year age groups to the 2000 U.S. standard million population.Percent of Cases with Late Stage - This is the number of late stages cases compared to the number of cases for all stages.
Other Notes
- Larger confidence intervals indicate less stability of the data. This is often due to low counts that are not quite low enough to be suppressed.
- Data is currently being suppressed if there are fewer than 16 counts for the time period.

- CI*Rank⋔ : N/A
- Percent of Cases with Late Stage : 32.8
US (SEER+NPCR)1
- Rate : The incidence rate is 4.8 with a 95% confidence interval from 4.7 to 4.8 and 18,519 average annual cases over 2016-2020.
- CI*Rank⋔ : N/A
- Percent of Cases with Late Stage : 28.3
Newport County6
- Rate : The incidence rate is 5.4 with a 95% confidence interval from 3.8 to 7.7 and 7 average annual cases over 2016-2020.
- CI*Rank⋔ : 3 (1, 4)
- Percent of Cases with Late Stage : 40.7
Washington County6
- Rate : The incidence rate is 5.6 with a 95% confidence interval from 4.1 to 7.5 and 11 average annual cases over 2016-2020.
- CI*Rank⋔ : 2 (1, 4)
- Percent of Cases with Late Stage : 37.9
Providence County6
- Rate : The incidence rate is 5.3 with a 95% confidence interval from 4.6 to 6.1 and 40 average annual cases over 2016-2020.
- CI*Rank⋔ : 4 (1, 4)
- Percent of Cases with Late Stage : 31.5
Kent County6
- Rate : The incidence rate is 5.6 with a 95% confidence interval from 4.3 to 7.3 and 13 average annual cases over 2016-2020.
- CI*Rank⋔ : 1 (1, 4)
- Percent of Cases with Late Stage : 29.4
- Rate : * Data has been suppressed to ensure confidentiality and stability of rate estimates. Counts are suppressed if fewer than 16 records were reported in a specific area-sex-race category. If an average count of 3 is shown, the total number of cases for the time period is 16 or more which exceeds suppression threshold (but is rounded to 3).
- CI*Rank⋔ : *
- Percent of Cases with Late Stage : *

† Incidence rates (cases per 100,000 population per year) are age-adjusted to the 2000 US standard population (19 age groups: <1, 1-4, 5-9, ... , 80-84, 85+). Rates are for invasive cancer only (except for bladder cancer which is invasive and in situ) or unless otherwise specified. Rates calculated using SEER*Stat. Population counts for denominators are based on Census populations as modified by NCI. The US Population Data File is used for SEER and NPCR incidence rates.
Rates are computed using cancers classified as malignant based on ICD-O-3. For more information see malignant.html.
^ Late Stage is defined as cases determined to be regional or distant. Due to changes in stage coding, Combined Summary Stage (2004+) is used for data from Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) databases and Merged Summary Stage is used for data from National Program of Cancer Registries databases. Due to the increased complexity with staging, other staging variables maybe used if necessary.
* Data has been suppressed to ensure confidentiality and stability of rate estimates. Counts are suppressed if fewer than 16 records were reported in a specific area-sex-race category. If an average count of 3 is shown, the total number of cases for the time period is 16 or more which exceeds suppression threshold (but is rounded to 3).
