Table 2

An example of the input and output format of the CONFIDENCE Tool (developed by A. Ulanowski).

Input:-
Outcome = ASC (all solid cancer)
Country = Switzerland
Gender = Male
Age-at-exposure = 1 (years)
Dose distribution: normal, μ = 0.1 Gy, σ = 0.05 Gy

Output:-
Time (year)	Time-integrated risk (%)
	BR_time or LBR (baseline)		AR_time or LAR (radiation-attributable)
	Mean	Median (95% CI)	Mean	Median (95% CI)
10	0.04	0.03 (0.00–0.13)	0.00	0.00 (0.00–0.01)
20	0.16	0.14 (0.05–0.37)	0.26	0.05 (0.00–1.77)
50	2.59	2.56 (1.88–3.52)	1.06	0.48 (0.01–5.21)
Lifetime	39.90	39.83 (35.64–44.70)	3.80	2.99 (0.08–12.18)

LBR: Lifetime Baseline Risk (also given as baseline risk at different times since exposure, BR_time); LAR: Lifetime Attributable Risk (also given as attributable risk at different times since exposure, AR_time).

Current usage metrics show cumulative count of Article Views (full-text article views including HTML views, PDF and ePub downloads, according to the available data) and Abstracts Views on Vision4Press platform.

Data correspond to usage on the plateform after 2015. The current usage metrics is available 48-96 hours after online publication and is updated daily on week days.
