The Danish case‐control study of cutaneous malignant melanoma. I. Importance of host factors
Abstract
The relationshop between cutaneous malignant melanoma and possible host factors was Investigated in a populationbased case‐control study from East Denmark over a 3‐year period. A total of 474 melanoma patlents and 926 population controls aged 20–79 years were interviewed. Patients with lentigo maligna melanoma were not included. The major constitutional risk factors were: number of raised naevi on the arms (RR = 5,1 for 5+ vs, none), degree of freckling (RR = 2.9 for many vs, none), and light hair colour (RR = 1.7 for blond/fair vs. dark brown/black), which were independent of one another. An apparent synergy between number of raised naevi on the arms and degree of freckling was found. Thus, persons at high risk of melanoma may be identified by a simple assessment of naevi and degree of freckling. No significent difference was found between superficial spreading melanoma and nodular melanoma with regard to the most important host factors.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
