Mortality follow-up of Fernald Feed Materials Production Center workers exposed to uranium from 1951 to 1985
Lung cancer was associated with external dose, though positive dose responses for emphysema imply residual confounding by smoking. Novel use of competing risk analysis for CVD demonstrates leveraging retrospective data for future risk prediction.
