The annual rates 735, 427, and 174 per 100,000 among current smokers, ex-smokers, never-smokers, respectively (p < 0.001). trend risk persisted after control background characteristics using Cox proportional hazards analysis (adjusted hazard ratios [HRs]: 2.63, 1.41, 1, p In comparison smokers had an excess pulmonary HR, 2.87; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.00–4.11; 0.001), but not extrapulmonary 1.04; CI, 0.33–3.30; = 0.95). Among those who developed smoked more cigarettes day than did (13.43, SD 8.76 vs. 10.96, 7.87, 0.01). statistically significant dose–resp...
