A latent class Bayesian hierarchical regression model was employed to account for the imperfect sensitivity and specificity of billing and hospitalization data in case ascertainment. We accounted for demographic factors of sex, age group, and location of residence (urban or rural) in estimating the prevalence rates within the First Nations and non\u2013First Nations populations.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The overall prevalence of AIM was 25.0 per 100,000 persons (95% credible interval [95% CrI] 13.4\u201349.0) in the First Nations population and 33.8 (95% CrI 28.9\u201339.6) in the non\u2013First Nations population.
