a

95% confidence interval.

b

Likelihood ratio test of ERR(EAR) > 0 versus ERR (EAR) ≤ = 0.

c

Excess relative risk (/Gy)

d

Likelihood-based estimation algorithm failed to identify an interval. A Wald-type CI was calculated.

e

Excess absolute rate (/Gy · 100,000 person-years) at attained age 60 for a women who was born in 1900.

f

ERR and EAR for cancer of uterine corpus were analyzed after excluded nonirradiated women.
