This result is more evident in relation to steel plants, with an almost significant 90% excess risk in age 0–1, and with some evidence of excess of hospitalization for neoplasms also in the 0-19- (S – males n = 121, SHR pooled (90%CI) = 1.08 (0.90–1.28), (1-p)%=55%, females n = 102, SHR pooled (90%CI) = 1.12 (0.93–1.35), (1-p)%=71%) and 20-29-years age groups (S – males n = 145, SHR pooled (90%CI) = 0.99 (0.80–1.22), (1-p)%=6%, females n = 140, SHR pooled (90%CI) = 1.08 (0.85–1.36), (1-p)%=44%) (Additional file 2).
