Footnote: random effect model showing significant association between SSC and OSs exposure. PBC and PSV included only one study (100% of the weight). Q value for SSc analysis: 33.7, I 2:79,2, Degree of freedom (Q):7, p-value<0,0001. GN: glomerulonephritis; MS: multiple sclerosis; PBC: primary biliary cirrhosis; PSV: primary systemic vasculitis; RA: rheumatoid arthritis; RP: raynaud disease; SLE: systemic lupus erythematosus; SSc: systemic sclerosis. Diot, et al 1: organic solvent as a whole; Thompson AE, et al 1: turpentine exposure (the most significant result); Purdie GL, et al 1: confirmed RP population; Nelson NA, et al 1. 1994: disabled population.
