All-cause and cause-specific mortality in a cohort of WTC-exposed and non-WTC-exposed firefighters

Ankura Singh et al.

Summary: This study compared mortality rates between World Trade Center (WTC)-exposed FDNY firefighters and similarly healthy, non-WTC-exposed/non-FDNY firefighters, and compared mortality in each cohort with the general population. The results showed that both cohorts of firefighters had lower all-cause mortality compared to the general population, and WTC-exposed firefighters had lower mortality rates compared to non-WTC-exposed firefighters.

Comparing self-reported obstructive airway disease in firefighters with and without World Trade Center exposure

Alexandra K. Mueller et al.

Summary: The objective of this study was to compare the frequency of self-reported obstructive airway disease (OAD) diagnoses in World Trade Center (WTC)-exposed firefighters with non-WTC-exposed firefighters and the general population. The results showed that WTC-exposed firefighters had a higher likelihood of OAD diagnoses compared to non-WTC-exposed firefighters and the general population.

Cardiovascular disease in the World Trade Center Health Program General Responder Cohort

Nancy L. Sloan et al.

Summary: The study examined the association between exposure to toxic materials during the September 2001 World Trade Center attacks and increased cardiovascular disease risk among over 90,000 rescue and recovery responders. The results showed a significantly higher incidence and risk of cardiovascular disease in responders exposed to WTC-related toxic materials.

Stroke hospitalizations, posttraumatic stress disorder, and 9/11-related dust exposure: Results from the World Trade Center Health Registry

Shengchao Yu et al.

Summary: Having posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) significantly increases the risk of developing ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke. Although the point estimate for dust cloud exposure was not statistically significant, it appeared to increase the risk of ischemic stroke. Additionally, PTSD is significantly associated with recurrent strokes.

Assembling the Career Firefighter Health Study cohort: A methods overview

Rachel Zeig-Owens et al.

Summary: The study highlights the challenges faced in establishing a non-WTC-exposed firefighter cohort for tracking and comparing cancer and chronic health conditions in WTC-exposed and non-WTC-exposed firefighters. Despite a response rate of 34.1% to the baseline survey, efforts continue to recruit more participants and gather valuable data on the physical and mental health conditions of US firefighters.

Comparison of prevalence and exposure-disease associations using self-report and hospitalization data among enrollees of the world trade center health registry

Howard E. Alper et al.

Summary: The study found moderate agreement between self-report and administrative data in chronic disease prevalence, with lower accuracy in self-reported hospitalizations. However, the agreement in exposure-chronic disease associations was good.
