The thoro data frame has 2470 rows and 14 columns.
Each row represents one patient that have had cerebral angiography (X-ray of
the brain) with an injected contrast medium, either Thorotrast or
another one (the controls).
This data frame contains the following columns:
id: | Identification of person. |
sex: | Sex, 1: male / 2: female. |
birthdat: | Date of birth, Date variable. |
contrast: | Group, 1: Thorotrast / 2: Control. |
injecdat: | Date of contrast injection, Date variable. |
volume: | Injected volume of Thorotrast in ml. Control patients have a 0 in this variable. |
exitdat: | Date of exit from the study, Date variable. |
exitstat: | Status at exit, 1: dead / 2: alive, censored at closing of study, 20 February 1992 / 3: censored alive at some earlier date. |
cause: | Cause of death. See causes in the helpfile for gmortDK |
liverdat: | Date of liver cancer diagnosis, Date variable. |
liver: | Indicator of liver cancer diagnosis. Not all livercancers are histologically verified, hence liver >= hepcc + chola + hmang |
hepcc: | Hepatocellular carcinoma at liverdat. |
chola: | Cholangiocellular carcinoma at liverdat. |
hmang: | Haemangisarcoma carcinoma at liverdat. |
