Abbreviations: exp, exponential; NE, not estimable.

a

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.

b

EOR per Gy is estimated from simple linear model and adjusted for sex.

c

One degrees of freedom test for linear trend.

d

Linear dose term from linear-exponential model adjusted for sex.

e

Exponential dose term from linear exponential model adjusted for sex.

f

One degrees of freedom test for exponential departure from linearity.

g

95% CI.
