↵10-150 First author of most papers on study; reference is to paper from which main results were obtained.
↵10-151 Relative risk and 95% CI from matched analysis as given by authors.
↵10-152 Adjusted for exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs).
↵10-153 Summary statistics cannot be estimated for this study.
↵10-154 The authors did not present data separated by smoking and asbestos exposure, only results of logistic regression, from which fitted effects are shown. Smoking effects are for >50 pack-years.
