Thirty-two veterans who reported Agent Orange exposure were compared to a sample of 96 unexposed veterans.
The proportion of non-Vietnam veterans who reported Agent Orange exposure was not stated.
Agreement ranged from 81.7% (epirubicin) to 98.0% (docetaxel) for these 10 agents; the most commonly reported agent, flurouracil, demonstrated high concordance (agreement: 84.9%, kappa: 0.64).
Reports related to vaccines are collected only in the French database and, therefore, were identified and excluded if vaccine(s) was the only reported agent.
However, the proportion who reported Agent Orange exposure was non-significantly higher among cases (23.4 %) than controls (12.0 %) (adjusted OR = 2.06 [0.81 5.23]) (Table 1; Figure S1).
Three other studies of prostate cancer in veterans compared patient and disease characteristics between prostate cancer patients with and without reported Agent Orange exposure (Table 1) [ 98– 100].
After excluding the 38 patients who reported Agent Orange exposure after prostate cancer diagnosis, the association was substantially attenuated but still statistically significant (OR = 1.85 [1.85–2.31.85
