PURPOSE: Cigarette smoking is an established risk factor for @entity788 ( @entity788 ). We examined the association between cigarette smoking and @entity788 in a San Francisco Bay Area clinic-based, case-control study. METHODS: A total of 536 cases and sex and age frequency-matched controls (n  =  869) were recruited predominately from the University of California San Francisco (UCSF) medical clinics between 2006 and 2011. @entity1 were interviewed in- @entity1 using structured questionnaires. Adjusted odds ratios (ORs) were computed. RESULTS: Forty-eight percent of cases and controls reported never having smoked cigarettes; 39% of cases and 40% of controls were former smokers; 13% of cases and 12% of controls were current smokers. No association was found for either former (OR  =  0.85, 95% confidence interval [CI]  =  0.66-1.1) or current cigarette smoking ( @entity1 : OR  =  1.0, 95% CI  =  0.60-1.7; @entity1 : OR  =  1.2, 95% CI  =  0.73-2.1). No dose-response relationships were detected with number of cigarettes/day, smoking intensity, duration, or years since last smoked. Comparisons with a 1995-1999 population-based UCSF study demonstrated a significantly increased proportion of never smokers in this study (P  <  .001). CONCLUSIONS: This study revealed no significant associations between cigarette smoking and @entity788 in the San Francisco Bay Area during 2006-2011. Data suggest a reduction in the duration of smoking within the referral population.
