Description:
This analytic data file set consists of four files generated for the retrospective cohort mortality study of white male workers at MCW in Missouri by Elizabeth Dupree-Ellis.
The purpose of the study was to (1) evaluate the mortality of this cohort as compared to the U.S. population, and (2) evaluate the relationship between external ionizing radiation exposure and cancer and other diseases of the respiratory, digestive, genitourinary, and lymphatic systems. This particular analysis considers only external radiation doses. The first of the four data files contains demographic and vital status data on this cohort. The other three contain dosimetry data, based on a 0-year, 2-year, and 10-year lag.
File MCD98A02_d1 contains demographic and vital status data including date of birth, cause of death (ICDA8), and employment dates. Files MCD98A02_d2, MCD98A02_d3, and MCD98A02_d4 contain dosimetry data through 1993 with varying lag of 0, 2, or 10 years. Dosimetry data are reported as cumulative external radiation exposure (mSv).
