Abstract |
A cohort of 501 workers in a steel mill in Ontario, Canada was followed up from 1974 to 1986. The 13-year cumulative incidence of urological diseases among workers who were positive for microscopic haematuria in 1974 was 1.3 times that of those who had a negative result. This relative risk remained the same after adjusting for age and smoking. Thus, urinary screening for microscopic haematuria could be a useful predictor of urological disease. |
