Objectives In cross sectional studies, relationships between perceived stressors and self-reported health are suspected of mono-method bias related to negative affectivity. The purpose of this work was to test if work organizational characteristics…

Rationale: Engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) induce groundbreaking impacts by endowing unique properties to materials. However, uncertainties remain on their biological aftereffects. Entrusted by health and labour ministries, the French Public…

Two-phase studies have proven to be a useful generalization of the standard case-control study: In the first phase study, disease status and partial or proxy information on covariates is known for a large number of patients. In a stratified sub-sample…

Objective: To describe the mortality of sewage workers from Paris (France).
Methods: The cohort of 1594 Paris sewage workers since 1970 was set up in 2010 and followed-up on mortality from 1970 to 2010. Vital status and causes of death were determined…

Objectives
Agriculture is considered one of the occupations most at risk of acute or chronic respiratory problems. The aim of our study was to determine from which level of exposure to organic dust the respiratory function is chronically affected…

Background & Introduction
Net survival methods are used to measure patient survival correcting for causes of death not related to the disease of interest. We describe a STATA command stns that implements the Pohar-Perme estimator of the net…

Objective: To demonstrate the benefits of relative survival analysis to historical cohort studies in occupational epidemiology. In historical cohort studies, it is never known whether each death observed during the follow-up is attributable…

Rationale: Compost workers have more airway irritation symptoms and increased inflammation markers than non-exposed workers. We studied which activities and processed wastes are involved.
Methods: 90 compost workers were followed-up for…

Objective: To assess possible relationships between occupational exposure to metalworking fluid (MWF) mist and bladder cancer risk.
Methods: A nested case-control study was conducted within a cohort of workers from 6 steel-producing factories…

The new command stns makes possible to estimate the net survival function and the net cumulative hazard with STATA. The functionality and the syntax are presented together with illustrative examples.
