Abbreviations: CI=confidence interval; OR=odds ratio; UCC=urothelial cell carcinoma.

a

ORs per s.d. in median M-value were calculated using conditional logistic regression models, with matching on age, sex, ethnicity, type of sample, plate, and chip, and adjusting for smoking status, alcohol intake, time since blood draw, body mass index (BMI), folate intake, vitamin B12 intake, and socioeconomic status.

b

Adjusting for the matching variables, and smoking status and time since blood draw only, because of relatively small numbers of observed cases.
