Comparison of study findings with previously published results for bladder cancer incidence associated with o-toluidine cumulative exposure rank (10-year lag) in workers from a chemical manufacturing plant (n=1,875)

Present Analysisa Published analysisb

Bladder cancer cases (person-years) 46 (47,640) 37 (35,155)

Overall SIR, lag = 10 yr (95% CI) 2.58 (1.91, 3.46) 2.87 (2.02, 3.96)
