Chen National Center for Toxicological Research Jefferson, Arkansas 7E079 September 8? 1987 Regardless of any possible methodological flaws, this study can not be used to infer anything about Agent Orange or any other specific cause of effect other than being a Vietnam veteran. From the write up, one can not check the statistical procedures and therefore must assume that it was done correctly using acceptable methods; however, a more detailed description of the methods with references would be helpful. From this study Non-Hodgkins expected but risk is less the Marines have an increased risk due to Lymphomas? however, the Army risk is lower than not significantly. When combined, the overall than expected with a PMR *" 0.95. The manuscript is for the most part written clearly; however, there are still obvious errors and statements made that are not well documented. Positive findings are pointed out but corresponding negative findings are not discussed. Statements are made on page I ft that PMR values may be inflated or deflated. Life-table analyses could be conducted to overcome these limitations. It is not clear how age and race adjustments were made in the analyses. Were the average age of the Vietnam and non-Vietnam groups the same? � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
