Dose-response of lung cancer to amount smoked, duration and age starting
Describes the method used to estimate a fitted table of pseudo-numbers based on the observed table and the fitted RR estimates. The method differs for prospective studies, where only fitted numbers of cases are derived, and case-control studies, where fitted numbers of both cases and controls are derived. It also describes the tests of goodness-of-fit to the models used.
This file consists of a table describing each of the 71 studies considered in the analysis and the data sources.
This file consists of three tables giving details of the blocks used for amount smoked (Table A3/1), duration of smoking (Table A3/2) and age of starting to smoke (Table A2/3). The tables are based on, respectively, 97, 35 and 27 blocks.
This file contains the detailed results of the analyses for amount smoked based on (i) the linear model, (ii) the best-fitting power model and (iii) the best-fitting log-with-baseline model
This file contains the results of the detailed analyses for duration of smoking based on (i) the linear model, (ii) the best-fitting power model and (iii) the best-fitting log-with-baseline model
This file contains the results of the detailed analyses for age at starting to smoke based on (i) the linear model and (ii) the best-fitting power model
