FDNY WTC Treatment Program-Supplement

描述（由申请人提供）：纽约市消防局（FDNY）于2001年9月11日对世界贸易中心（WTC）做出了回应，尽管有大量人员受伤和令人难以置信的损失（343名FDNY救援人员在当天死亡），但从2001年9月11日起，他们继续提供救援、恢复和清理服务，直到2002年6月2日该网站正式关闭。在这次行动中，几乎所有纽约消防局的救援人员都暴露了。提交此WTC医疗监测和治疗计划补充的团队是最初CDC WTC医疗监测计划的团队，以及NIOSH临床和数据协调中心WTC医疗计划的团队。我们对这一补充邀请的回应建立在我们过去5年成功努力的结果之上；对于在世贸中心袭击、救援和恢复工作中作出反应和工作的纽约消防局救援人员（在职和退休）的长期医疗监测和治疗，继续和扩大当前方案至关重要。基于我们之前收集、分析和发布这些数据的工作，同时保持患者的隐私和机密性，以及我们与许多其他WTC研究人员的合作，我们相信我们是最适合继续这个项目的。纽约消防局的救援人员也同意这一观点，因为超过85%的符合条件的人已经来我们这里进行了身体监测检查，到目前为止，我们已经评估和分析了14092名纽约消防局救援人员的数据。持续的医疗监测和临床服务，包括治疗和药物，对我们的病人来说仍然至关重要，因为他们继续遭受呼吸和精神健康问题的困扰。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Fire Department of the City of New York (FDNY) responded to the World Trade Center (WTC) on 9/11/01 and despite numerous injuries and incredible losses (343 FDNY rescue workers died that day) continued to provide rescue, recovery and clean-up services from 9/11/01 until the site officially closed on 6/2/02. During this effort, nearly the entire FDNY rescue workforce was exposed. The team submitting this WTC Medical Monitoring & Treatment Program Supplement has been the team for the initial CDC WTC medical monitoring program, as well as the NIOSH Clinical and Data Coordinating Centers WTC medical programs. Our response to this supplement invitation builds on the results of our successful efforts for the last 5 years; continuation and expansion of the current program is essential for the long-term medical monitoring and treatment of FDNY rescue workers (incumbent and retired) who responded to and worked during the WTC attack, rescue and recovery efforts. Based on our prior work in collecting, analyzing and publishing these data while maintaining patient privacy and confidentiality, as well as the strength of our collaborations with the many other WTC investigators, we believe we are best suited for the continuation of this program. FDNY rescue personnel also agree, as over 85% of those eligible have come to us for their medical monitoring examinations, and to date we have evaluated and analyzed data of 14,092 FDNY rescue workers. Continued medical monitoring and clinical services, including treatment and medications, remain essential to our patients, as they continue to suffer from respiratory and mental health problems.
