Table 4 shows HR for broad disease categories, based on target
organs or types of illness, in the final cohort. Most HR were around
1.00. The only category that had an HR that was statistically
significant (i.e. P 0.05) was endocrine, nutritional, and metabolic
diseases, and immunity disorders (ICD-9: 240–279).
However, this was in the direction of reduced risk. We carried
out a similar across-the-board analysis of mortality in the final
cohort. There were 189 deaths (HR = 1.01, 95% CI: 0.97, 1.05),
of which 131 were from injuries and poisonings (ICD-9:
800–999) and 28 from neoplastic diseases (ICD-9: 140–239). No
causes of death showed evidence of an association with amalgam
exposure, although numbers were small.
