About

This project investigates whether exposure to the World Trade Center Attack is a risk factor for liver injury.

Full description

This is a prospective cross-sectional study of liver disease in individuals who meet the United States Preventive Services Task Forces guidelines for lung cancer screening because they are between 55 and 80 years of age and have a 30 year pack-history of smoking and are either current smokers or who quit during the past 15 years. Liver disease will be compared between individuals who are members of the World Trade Center General Responder Cohort and individuals who are not members of this cohort. The basic objective is to determine whether exposure to the WTC attack increased liver disease.

Data will be obtained from the World Trade Center Data Center, from Mount Sinai Medical records, EPIC, the data warehouse, and from data collected by the Lung Cancer Screening Program of Dr. Henschke. Results of genetic tests that relate to liver disease will be collected from the medical record.
