aAnalysis conducted on Log10 transformed data and represented by geometric means. The change from

baseline is a ratio of the geometric means at follow-up compared with baseline. The comparison of the changes from baseline is the ratio of the change from baseline for the CT group compared the AC group

bResults are adjusted for DDE as a covariate. 95% CIs are presented in brackets
