Association of allergic diseases and epilepsy with risk of glioma, meningioma and acoustic neuroma: results from the INTERPHONE international case-control study
Eur J Epidemiol. 2022 Feb 3. doi: 10.1007/s10654-022-00843-y. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWe investigated the association of allergic diseases and epilepsy with risk of brain tumours, in Interphone, a 13-country case-control study. Data were obtained from 2693 glioma cases, 2396 meningioma cases, and 1102 acoustic neuroma cases and their 6321 controls. Conditional logistic regression models were used to estimate pooled odds ratios (ORs) and their respective 95% confidence intervals (CIs), adjusted for education and time at interview. Reduced ORs were observed for glioma in relation to physician-diagnosed asthma (OR = 0.7...

Data were obtained from 2693 glioma cases, 2396 meningioma cases, and 1102 acoustic neuroma cases and their 6321 controls. Conditional logistic regression models were used to estimate pooled odds ratios (ORs) and their respective 95% confidence intervals (CIs), adjusted for educati on and time at interview. Reduced ORs were observed for glioma in relation to physician-diagnosed asthma (OR = 0.73;CI 0.58 –0.92), hay fever (OR 0.72;CI 0.61 –0.86), and eczema (OR 0.78...
