    This study introduces a regression model to predict epithelial cell abnormality scores based on exposure variables. The model was tested using sputum samples from former asbestos workers, showing its potential for carcinogen exposure assessment.

    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Biostatistics
    • Occupational Health

    Background:

    • Epithelial cell abnormalities are classified on a scale from normal to malignant.
    • Specimen scores reflect the most abnormal cell detected.
    • Understanding factors influencing these scores is crucial for disease risk assessment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a regression model for specimen scores.
    • To analyze relationships between continuous/discrete variables and cell abnormality.
    • To apply the model to real-world exposure data.

    Main Methods:

    • Regression analysis of specimen scores.
    • Inclusion of continuous and discrete predictor variables.
    • Model validation using sputum specimens from former asbestos workers.

    Main Results:

    • The developed regression model effectively predicts specimen scores.
    • The model demonstrated adequacy of fit for the analyzed data.
    • Application to asbestos worker data provided insights into exposure-related changes.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed regression model is a viable tool for assessing epithelial cell abnormalities.
    • The model can be used to study the impact of carcinogen exposure on cell morphology.
    • This approach aids in understanding occupational health risks associated with environmental exposures.
