A multinational case-control study on childhood brain tumours, anthropogenic factors, birth characteristics and prenatal exposures: A validation of interview data

Highlights • We compare exposures from retrospective interviews with prospective registry data. • We find minimal exposure misclassification for anthropogenic metrics. • Exposure misclassification for behavioural factors is moderate. • Validation aids interpretation of results based on retrospective...

Description
Summary:Highlights • We compare exposures from retrospective interviews with prospective registry data. • We find minimal exposure misclassification for anthropogenic metrics. • Exposure misclassification for behavioural factors is moderate. • Validation aids interpretation of results based on retrospective interview data. • Anthropogenic and birth factors were not associated with childhood brain tumour.
