20.500.12556/DiRROS-31514 Mortality, cancer incidence, and disability among professional drivers in Slovenia Literature data about all-cause and cause-specific mortality among professional drivers are inconsistent. Most studies report lower all-cause and higher cause-specific mortality. Higher cause-specific mortality is most often the result of malignant and circulatory diseases. The aim of our retrospective cohort study was to get a better insight into the mortality, cancer incidence, and occupational disability of the entire professional driver population in Slovenia (N=8,231) from 1997 to 2016 through standardised mortality ratio (SMR), standardised proportional mortality ratio (SPMR), standardised cancer incidence ratio (SIR), and standardised disability ratio (SDR). Total mortality was significantly lower than that of the general working population (SMR=0.49; 95 % CI=0.44–0.55). When SPMR was calculated, however, the risk of all-cause mortality increased to 1 (SPMR=1.00; 95 % CI=0.89–1.12), of cancer-related mortality to 1.13 (95 % CI=0.94–1.35), and of injury-related mortality to 1.25 (95 % CI=0.97–1.59). Cancer incidence was lower than in the general male working population for all types of cancer (SIR=0.66; 95 % CI=0.59–0.72), lung cancer included (SIR=0.56; 95 % CI=0.41–0.73). Occupational all-cause and cause-specific disability were also lower than in the rest of the working population. Even though all types of cancer and injuries were established among professional drivers in Slovenia, no major risk stand out. However, our findings may have been skewed by the healthy worker effect. healthy worker effect healthy worker effect occupational disability standardised cancer incidence ratio true false true Angleški jezik Ni določen Neznano 2026-08-04 13:30:37 2026-08-04 13:30:37 2026-08-05 03:48:58 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2023 0 0 Nasl. z nasl. zaslona; Opis vira z dne 18. 3. 2024; str. 246-251 iss. 29 Vol. 74 2023 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 614.71 1848-6312 10.2478/aiht-2023-74-3784 189384195 RAZ_Margan_Andrea_2023.pdf RAZ_Margan_Andrea_2023.pdf 1 66544B8839FECDDEF3DEAEBCD33A6779 4e88e420b84753d499e9de7b3d3c99b6f15afa7a5c7ed8950505c6203f432e6b 0aa9bc7a-8ff8-11f1-af5a-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=48838 https://reference-global.com/article/10.2478/aiht-2023-74-3784 0 ec0a8154-8ff7-11f1-af5a-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=48837 Univerzitetni klinični center Ljubljana 0 0 0
