Abstract | |||
Swedish childhood cancer case-control studies + We have data on 2000 cases of rare childhood cancers identified from a linkage of the Swedish birth registry and the Swedish cancer registry. A previous contract identified the more common childhood cancers (leukemia and brain), so for this contract we asked for the less common cancers: neuroblastoma, retinoblastoma, hepatoblastoma, bone and connective tissue cancers, etc.. 10,000 controls were selected from the Swedish birth registry, 5:1, matched on gender and month and year of birth, and the control had to be cancer free when the case was diagnosed. Exposure variables are from the Swedish birth registry: pre-natal and peri-natal information collected on the mother and baby. Analyses are done by conditional logistic regression. |
