OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the mortality experience among 3,199 workers employed 1951-1976 at a @entity4613 fertilizer production plant in central Florida with follow-up through 2011. METHODS: Cause-specific standardized mortality ratios (SMRs) for the full cohort were calculated with the U.S. population as referent. @entity2 and @entity1778 risks were further analyzed using conditional logistic regression. RESULTS: The mortality due to all-causes (SMR   =   1.07, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.02-1.13, observed deaths [n]   =   1,473), all- @entity5 (SMR   =   1.16, 95%CI 1.06-1.28, n   =   431), and a priori outcomes of interests including @entity2 (SMR   =   1.32, 95%CI   =   1.13-1.53, n   =   168) and @entity1778 (SMR   =   1.74, 95%CI   =   1.11-2.62, n   =   23) were statistically significantly elevated. @entity2357 modeling on employment duration or estimated radiation scores did not show exposure-response relation with @entity2 or @entity1778 mortality. CONCLUSION: SMR results showed @entity2 and @entity1778 mortality in a full cohort of the @entity4613 fertilizer production facility. There was, however, no exposure-response relation observed among cases and matched controls. Am. J. Ind. Med.    2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
