Table 3.

Cox proportional hazards models for ABC and for HGBC. Reduced model, baseline hazard stratified on gender with gender specific effects. (a) Smoking intensity capped at 2 packs, (b) smoking duration is linear, (c) years quit is 0 for current smokers, current age for non-smokers. Baseline cumulative hazard at 5 years: ABC females, 1.438e-05; ABC males, 6.374e-05; HGBC females, 1.262e-06; HGBC males, 6.642e-06
