Quantitative Risk Assessment for Teratological Effects
致畸效应的定量风险评估
This article presents a quantitative procedure for using a “benchmark dose” to obtain low-dose risk estimates for reproductive and developmental toxic effects. This procedure combines the best features of the previously proposed methods for handling litter effects for teratology data and the currently used methods for quantitative risk assessment. The beta-binomial distribution is used to account for litter effects, and the Weibull dose—response model is used for modeling…
