DRIVING OF MOTOR VEHICLES AS A RISK FACTOR FOR ACUTE HERNIATED LUMBAR INTERVERTEBRAL DISC1
Abstract
Kelsey. J. L. (Yale U. School of Medicine. New Haven. CT 06510) and R. J.Hardy. Driving of motor vehicles as a risk factor for acute herniated lumbar intervertebral disc. Am J Epidemiol 102:63–73, 1975.—In a case-control study of the epidemiology of acute herniated lumbar intervertebral disc in the New Haven, Connecticut, area, it was found that driving of motor vehicles was associated with an increased risk for developing this disease. It was estimated that men who spend half or more of their time on their job driving a motor vehicle are about three times as likely to develop an acute herniated lumbar disc as those who do not hold such jobs. Persons of either sex who said that they drove a car (either away from work or at work) were more likely to develop an acute herniated lumbar disc than those who did not drive at all. These associations between driving and acute herniated lumbar disc could not be attributed to any confounding variables considered in this study.

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.
