BACK TO ARTICLETable 2. Sex ratio of survivors treated with potentially high-dose gonadal irradiation vs those treated with presumed low-dose gonadal irradiation, based on pooling of data from the current study, that of Winther et al (2003) and that of Byrne et al (1998)
| Boys/girls ratio among survivors treated with | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Sex survivor | High gonadal dose | Low gonadal dose | ORa (95% CI) |
| Males | 1.01 (272/269)b | 1.02 (1773/1742)b | 0.99 (0.83, 1.19) |
| Females | 0.97 (308/318)b | 1.06 (2570/2433)b | 0.92 (0.78, 1.08) |
CI=confidence interval; OR=odds ratio.
a ORs expressing the sex ratio of those treated with high-gonadal dose radiation vs those treated with low doses.
b No. of boys/girls.
