| Resumen |
More than 20,000 responders have been examined through the World Trade Center (WTC) Medical Monitoring and Treatment Programme since September 11, 2001. Studies on WTC firefighters have shown elevated rates of sarcoidosis. The main objective of this study was to report the incidence of "sarcoid like" granulomatous pulmonary disease in other WTC responders. Cases of sarcoid like granulomatous pulmonary disease were identified by: patient self-report, physician report and ICD-9 codes. Each case was evaluated by three pulmonologists using the ACCESS criteria and only definite cases are reported. Thirty-eight patients were classified as definite cases. Six-year incidence was 192/100,000. The peak annual incidence of 54 per 100,000 person-years occurred between 9/11/2003 and 9/11/2004. Incidence in black responders was nearly double that of white responders. Low FVC was the most common spirometric abnormality. While the incidence of granulomatous pulmonary disease among the WTC responders is lower than that reported among firefighters, it is higher than expected. |
