INDEXCONTENTS — volume 32, suppl 1, 2006Abstract Executive summary Introduction Materials and methods Criteria for inclusion in the Collaborative Analysis Design of the studies included in the Collaborative Analysis Period of interest for exposure to radon Radon measurement procedures in the participating studies Data on individual persons in the study Statistical methods Main analysis Combined effect of smoking history and radon exposure on lung cancer risk Method of adjustment for random uncertainties in the assessment of residential radon exposures Results Persons included in the Collaborative Analysis Correlation between radon and smoking Effect of confounding factors on the estimated risk associated with radon Homogeneity of studies, influence of each study and effect of the study design Effect modification according to the characteristics of the radon measurements Effect of different measures of the observed radon concentration and of different models for the relationship between radon concentration and lung cancer Relative risk of lung cancer according to the categories of observed residential radon concentration, a further test of linearity, significance of the dose-response relationship excluding high radon concentrations, and confidence interval for threshold radon concentration Effect modification according to the characteristics of the cases and controls Effect modification among lifelong nonsmokers according to the characteristics of the cases and controls Differences in the effect of residential radon on different histological types of lung cancer Combined effect of smoking and radon exposure Analyses adjusted for the effect of random uncertainties in the assessment of radon concentration (Contents continues on page 84)
