Asbestos and Peritoneal Mesothelioma among College-educated Men
Abstract
The proportion of peritoneal mesotheliomas among all mesotheliomas has been decreasing, leading some to suggest that peritoneal mesothelioma occurs only after high levels of exposure to asbestos. To investigate the relationship between asbestos exposure and the development of peritoneal mesothelioma, a case-control study examined 40 cases of primary peritoneal mesothelioma from a single institution. This series differed from previous reports in that 75% of the cases and controls had attended college. Results show an odds ratio of 6.6 for asbestos exposure among this group of primary peritoneal mesothelioma cases with relatively slight asbestos exposures.

“Our review included 14 case-control studies, of which 10 reported relative risk estimates or provided enough information to calculate a crude relative risk estimate [2-5,49-54,56], ranging from 1.4 [54] to 16.75 [2,3].”

“Vianna and Polan [4], Spirtas et al. [49], and Welch et al. [53] combine the activity of brake lining work/repair with traditionally highly exposed asbestos activities (e.g., insulation, shipyard work); thus, any observed increase in risk cannot be attributed to automobile mechanic work or solely to chrysotile exposure, and instead is highly likely attributable to the other activities (e.g., [108]”

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.
