Table 3. Risk of SMN after nonretinoblastoma childhood cancer, by duration of follow-up from original diagnosis.

  Follow-up period from diagnosis (in years)
  3–9 10–19 20–29 30 or more
Number entering risk period 15 452 7862 2806 808
Person-years accrued during risk period 76 594 50 685 16 695 3189
Observed number of SMNs 92 64 34 11
SIR (O/E) 10.2 5.7 3.5 2.4
95% CI for SIRs 8.3, 12.6 4.4, 7.3 2.4, 4.9 1.2, 4.3
AER per 1000 survivors per year 1.1 1.0 1.5 2.0

SMN=second malignant neoplasm; O=observed; E=expected; SIR=standardised incidence ratio; AER=additive excess risk.
