- GERD: gastroesophageal reflux disease
- PTSD: posttraumatic stress disorder
- aBurden estimates are rounded to the nearest integer
- bMidpoint estimate is the product of the percent ill among list-identified persons and the total population exposed. Lower bound estimate adjusts for the possibility that even among listed persons, those ill were 50% more likely to enroll in the WTCHR. The lower bound estimate is the product of the total population exposed and the ratio of A to B, where (A) is the number of list-identified persons who were ill and (B) is the sum of the number of list-identified persons who were healthy × 1.5 and the number of list-identified persons who were ill. Upper bound estimate is the product of the percent ill among self-identified persons and the total population exposed
- cEstimates from Murphy J, Brackbill RM, Thalji L, et al. Measuring and maximizing coverage in the World Trade Center Health Registry. Stat Med 2007;26:1688–1701
