a Odds ratio calculated without consideration of possible confounders (ratio of exposed to unexposed cases divided by the ratio of exposed to unexposed controls).

b 95% confidence intervals for the odds ratio calculated without consideration of possible confounders.

c Odds radio adjusted statistically for possible confounding factors.

d Corresponding confidence intervals calculated for the odds ratio adjusted for possible confounding factors.

e Includes all factors considered to be potential confounders whether or not statistical adjustments were made for them.

f HCC, high current configuration.

g LCC, low current configuration.

h Cases expected on the basis of incidence data for the disease in the general population.
