90% CI. ERR = excess relative risk; CLL = chronic lymphocytic leukemia; CT = computed tomograph; ERR = excess relative risk; INWORKS = International Nuclear Workers Study; UKNRRW = UK National Registry of Radiation Workers; USRT = US Radiologic Technologists.
bThe Canadian Study is restricted to the cohort excluding early AECL workers.
