O5D.3 Methods of estimating lifetime occupational exposure in the general population, based on job-exposure matrices
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Occupational and Environmental Medicine"
DOI: 10.1136/oem-2019-epi.129
Abstract: Objectives To estimate proportion of pathologies attributable to occupational exposure, lifetime occupational exposure prevalence (LOEP) and relative risk are necessary. LOEP estimates are commonly used but often estimated with different methods. The method choice and… read more here.
