• Description:
  Specific Aim 1: Identify new deaths of a) non-malignant deaths such as cardiovascular diseases, neurological diseases, psychiatric disorders and b) malignant deaths in workers in poultry and non-poultry industries. We have merged and managed files obtained from the National Death Index. These files have information on all causes of deaths occurred in our cohorts until December 31, 2018. Aim 1 is completed. The process was delayed with the changing of PIs and ambiguity in the data linkage. This has now been validated. Following IRB approval we updated the cohort numbers replicating prior analyses as a quality check. 2. Specific Aim 2: Calculate Standardized Mortality Ratios (SMRs) and Proportionate Mortality Ratios (PMR) for deaths of nonmalignant and malignant illnesses occurred from 1950 (start of the follow up) to the end of 2018. We determined analyses could be done in either R or STATA. We have completed multiple analyses. The challenge has been identifying comparison numbers to calculate expected deaths. The challenge is having numbers back in the 1950s and 1960s. We had to redo calculations. We have become a little humble about the data. But our numbers are clear and accurate.
