HR= Hazard Ratio; 95% CI= 95% Confidence Interval Proximity to the oil spill is defined as living in, or adjacent to, a county or parish with coastline oiled during the spill.

*

Adjusts for gender, age, smoking, and education. Work duration models also adjusted for residential proximity to the spill.

**

Total N for non-censoring-weighted models is where all confounders (gender, age, smoking, education) are nonmissing. Total N for IP censoring-weighted-models is where all confounders and predictors of censoring (gender, age, smoking, education, maximum total hydrocarbon exposure, and work duration) are nonmissing.
