NHL indicates non-Hodgkin lymphoma; NCa, number of cases; NCont, number of controls; OR, odds ratio; CI, confidence interval.

a

sCD23 categorized as ≤ assay limit of detection, ≤ the median among controls, and > control median. Other analytes categorized using tertiles among controls as cutpoints.

b

Case frequencies do not include one case without assay data for the four analytes shown in this table.

c

ORs computed by conditional logistic regression with adjustment for cigarette pack-years.

d

sCD23 analyses restricted to samples in batches 3 onward.
