Analyses are based on cumulative I-131 thyroid dose (prenatal plus any postnatal component) for all subjects and then restricted to subjects with postnatal I-131 dose <30 mGy.
EOR per Gy is estimated from simple linear model and adjusted for sex.
One degrees of freedom test for linear trend.
Linear dose term from linear-exponential model adjusted for sex.
Exponential dose term from linear exponential model adjusted for sex.
One degrees of freedom test for exponential departure from linearity.
95% CI.
