• Description:
  During the award period there was significant expansion of the FDNY's World Trade Center (WTC) Data Coordinating Center (DCC) work output. The DCC enabled and assisted the FDNY-WTC Clinical Center of Excellence (CCE) to systematically collect reported symptoms, diagnoses, medication use, test results and disease surveillance information obtained at WTC monitoring and treatment visits. The DCC administration provided training to the clinical center for FDNY-WTC and DCC personnel as needed on data management, quality assurance, analysis and regulatory issues. In close collaboration with the CCE clinical experts, the DCC created treatment algorithms for upper and lower respiratory conditions that were the basis for the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene WTC Adult Treatment Guidelines that FDNY co-authored and then helped revise. Through this medical education publication and our many peer- reviewed articles/reviews, the collective knowledge gained from our program was extended to other physicians so that similarly affected non-FDNY patients can receive state-of-the-art, clinically informed medical evaluation and treatment. A secondary benefit is that the FDNY Program developed instruments for screening, monitoring and treatment that would be directly applicable to victims of any mass disaster with exposure(s) resulting in potential health concerns.
