[Confirmation of an excess of XXXX mortality in a cohort of workers of a @entity3407 thin-layer plating].

OBJECTIVES: to extend up to year 2013 the follow-up for mortality of a cohort of workers in a @entity3407 and @entity3406 plating plant, where an @entity2 was already identified. DESIGN: 10 years after the first study about @entity5 mortality in a cohort of workers involved in the @entity3407 thin-layer plating, published in 2006, we updated the evaluation of the mortality of a cohort of workers employed in the same @entity3407 thin-layer plating factory with at least 6 months of work between 1968 and 1994.The mortality rates are compared with those of the Italian and Veneto Region (Northern Italy) populations. The dose-response relationship between work duration and @entity2 is assessed by adjusted Poisson regression. SETTING AND @entity1 : 127 unskilled or skilled workers involved in the production process. RESULTS: in the updated follow-up, 35 @entity204 occurred among the subjects under study: 19 for @entity5 (of which 11 for @entity2 and 3 for @entity788 ). A marked excess of mortality due to @entity2 is observed. In addition, the new follow-up shows a significant excess of @entity788 mortality. @entity2 mortality is positively associated with work duration and the risk increases by 13%(95%CI 1-26) for each additional year of work. CONCLUSIONS: the extension of follow-up confirms that this cohort expresses an increased mortality from @entity5 , due to a marked @entity788 . The effect of smoking has only a secondary effect in the @entity5 onset expressed by this cohort. The risk of @entity2 increased with work duration and thus with occupational exposure to @entity3407 and @entity3406 .
