However, doses from internal emitters were not available for the NRRW cohort. 25% of male workers and 17% of female workers were identified as being monitored for internal exposure. The Poisson regression methods for grouped survival data with a stratified baseline hazard function were used to describe the dependence of the risk on cumulative external radiation dose.
