Predictive Biomarkers of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease and Barrett’s Esophagus in World Trade Center Exposed Firefighters: a 15 Year Longitudinal Study
Abstract Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and Barrett’s Esophagus (BE), which are prevalent in the World Trade Center (WTC) exposed and general populations, negatively impact quality of life and cost of healthcare. GERD, a risk factor of BE, is linked to obstructive airways disease (OAD). We a...

In confounder-adjusted regression models, TNF-α ≥ 6 pg/mL predicted both GERD and BE.
