Table 3

Observed number of cases of specific types of cancer, standardised incidence ratio* and 95% confidence interval (CI) among all employees who were unexposed, ever exposed, and exposed with ≥15 years since first exposure and ≥5 years of exposure, and rate ratio† and 95% CI for exposed compared with unexposed, by facility‡

Facility and type of cancer§	Unexposed			Exposed			Exposed, ≥15 YSF, ≥5 YRS			Ever exposed	Exposed, ≥15 YSF, 5≥ YRS
Facility and type of cancer§	Obs	SIR	95% CI	Obs	SIR	95% CI	Obs	SIR	95% CI	RR, 95% CI	RR, 95% CI
Obs, observed; NHL, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma; SIR, standardised incidence ratio; YRS, years worked; YSF, years since first record of employment.
*The expected number is provided in square brackets, without the SIR and the 95% CI, when the observed number and the expected number of cases were both <5.
†RR, adjusted using Cox regression for year of birth, socioeconomic status, sex and race; computed when there were at least five cases, both among the unexposed and among the exposed.
‡Totals of exposed and unexposed exclude employees who worked only in jobs that could not be classified according to exposure because of missing or uninterpretable division, department and job codes (DDJs) (535 at East Fishkill and 558 at San Jose).
§Endometrium includes the uterus, not otherwise specified.
