Expected/Observed<1 indicates underestimation of risk and Expected/Observed>1 indicates overestimation.

Footnote: Observed and expected cases/100,000/year are the lung cancer incidence per 100,000 individuals per year for LCRAT, Bach, Pittsburgh, and PLCOM2012 and lung cancer deaths per 100,000 individuals per year for LCDRAT. Observed rates differ because observed events are lung cancers incidence after 1 year of follow-up for Bach, 5 years of follow-up for LCRAT, and 6 years of follow-up for Pittsburgh and PLCOM2012. Observed events are lung cancer deaths after 5 years of follow-up for LCDRAT.
