Association of Covid-19 Severity with Comorbidities
The impact of physical health conditions on coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) severity in World Trade Center disaster-exposed populations remains understudied. We examined the association of type, number and diagnosis time of pre-existing health conditions with COVID-19 severity, using the WTC Health Registry (WTCHR). We analyzed 3568 WTCHR enrollees with self-reported severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection in…
Disparities in Utilization of the World Trade Center Health Program Among World Trade Center Rescue and Recovery Workers and Volunteers
The 11 September 2001 World Trade Center (WTC) rescue and recovery workers (RRWs) included first responders (FDNY and NYPD), volunteers, and other workers. Volunteers were often more vulnerable than first responders to adverse health outcomes resulting from the exposure. It is not yet known whether there are differences in WTC Health Program (WTCHP) utilization by worker type. This is a cross-sectional study of 20,012 WTCHP-eligible RRWs to exami…
County-Level Food Insecurity and Hepatocellular Carcinoma Risk
Food insecurity (FI) is associated with several known hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) risk factors, but few studies have directly examined FI in association with HCC risk. We aimed to investigate whether county-level FI is associated with HCC risk. We used data from 21 registries in the Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results database to obtain county-level counts of HCC cases from 2018 to 2021. We obtained the county-level FI rates for 2018-202…
Covid-19-Specific Mortality among World Trade Center Health Registry Enrollees Who Resided in New York City
We examined the all-cause and COVID-19-specific mortality among World Trade Center Health Registry (WTCHR) enrollees. We also examined the socioeconomic factors associated with COVID-19-specific death. Mortality data from the NYC Bureau of Vital Statistics between 2015-2020 were linked to the WTCHR. COVID-19-specific death was defined as having positive COVID-19 tests that match to a death certificate or COVID-19 mentioned on the death certificat…
