Using hospital admission for all economically active men as the standard, the standardised hospitalisation ratios (SHR) were calculated, taking age and county into consideration.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold>There was a high SHR for stroke among all groups of professional drivers (SHR\u200a=\u200a132; 95% CI 121\u2013141). Among car, taxi, and van drivers the SHR was 157 (95% CI 132\u2013189), among bus drivers it was 139 (95% CI 119\u2013163), and among heavy truck and lorry drivers it was 124 (95% CI 113\u2013136). The excess risk for all groups of professional drivers was highest for cerebrovascular infarction (SHR\u200a=\u200a139; 95% CI 124\u2013155) and lowest for non-traumatic intracranial haemorrhage (SHR\u200a=\u200a113; 95% CI 96\u2013133). The excess risks for all groups were significantly higher for cerebrovascular infarction than for non-traumatic intracranial haemorrhage (relative risk ratio (RRR) 1.23; 95% CI 1.01\u20131.51). The RRR of stroke among drivers in the metropolitan area compared to rural areas was 1.13 (95% CI 0.94\u20131.36). The RRR for stroke among car, taxi, and van drivers compared to drivers of heavy trucks and of lorries was 1.28 (95% CI 1.03\u20131.57).<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusion:<\/jats:bold>All groups of professional drivers are at increased risk of stroke. The excess risk is more due to cerebral infarctions than to non-traumatic intracranial haemorrhage. The risk of stroke is higher among drivers carrying passengers than among drivers carrying goods.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1136\/oem.2005.025718","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2006,5,31]],"date-time":"2006-05-31T08:59:58Z","timestamp":1149065998000},"page":"456-460","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":49,"title":["Stroke among male professional drivers in Denmark, 1994\u20132003"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"63","author":[{"given":"F","family":"T\u00fcchsen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"H","family":"Hannerz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"C","family":"Roepstorff","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"N","family":"Krause","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2006,5,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"2024052223151204000_63.7.456.1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/ije\/22.1.57"},{"key":"2024052223151204000_63.7.456.2","first-page":"37","volume":"11","year":"1998","journal-title":"Int J Occup Med Environ Health"},{"key":"2024052223151204000_63.7.456.3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"73","DOI":"10.5271\/sjweh.1417","volume":"20","year":"1994","journal-title":"Scand J Work Environ Health"},{"key":"2024052223151204000_63.7.456.4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"507","DOI":"10.1002\/ajim.4700250405","volume":"25","year":"1994","journal-title":"Am J Ind Med"},{"key":"2024052223151204000_63.7.456.5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/oem.58.4.253"},{"key":"2024052223151204000_63.7.456.6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(55)91117-X"},{"key":"2024052223151204000_63.7.456.7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"326","DOI":"10.5271\/sjweh.1467","volume":"19","year":"1993","journal-title":"Scand J Work Environ Health"},{"key":"2024052223151204000_63.7.456.8","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"231","DOI":"10.5271\/sjweh.1927","volume":"14","year":"1988","journal-title":"Scand J Work Environ Health"},{"key":"2024052223151204000_63.7.456.9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/ije\/22.1.51"},{"key":"2024052223151204000_63.7.456.10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/(SICI)1097-0274(199610)30:4<407::AID-AJIM5>3.0.CO;2-S"},{"key":"2024052223151204000_63.7.456.11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/oem.53.4.235"},{"key":"2024052223151204000_63.7.456.12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/ije\/28.4.640"},{"key":"2024052223151204000_63.7.456.13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00001648-200305000-00014"},{"key":"2024052223151204000_63.7.456.14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/ije\/26.5.989"},{"key":"2024052223151204000_63.7.456.15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/ajim.20036"},{"key":"2024052223151204000_63.7.456.16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/heapro\/dah208"},{"key":"2024052223151204000_63.7.456.17","unstructured":"T\u00fcchsen F, Hannerz H.
