1. A confirmed test result is one venous test or two capillary tests (within 12 weeks of each other) during a given year.
An unconfirmed test result is a single capillary test. Estimated confirmed blood lead levels 2:5 µg/dl include both confirmed
results and a proportion of unconfirmed results estimated to be truly elevated based on known capillary test reliability.
2. Blood lead levels between 5-<10 µg/dl are elevated. Blood lead levels 2:10 µg/dl are poisoned .
3. Data is suppressed if the aggregated numerator count is between 1-5 and the aggregated denominator count is < 1,200.
