    1. For How Long is WTC Exposure Associated with Incident Airway Obstruction PI: Charles B. Hall. National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health, award 1U01-OH10412-01. 9/1/2012-8/31/2014, 33% LOE. The study uses innovative statistical methods – parametric survival models with change points – to study the incidence of new onset obstructive airway disease (OAD) diagnoses and symptoms over the first ten years following WTC exposure, with the goal of determining the length of time that exposure response gradients are observed among exposed FDNY firefighters. This study will allow estimation of the length of time that a relatively short-term, high intensity exposure may be associated with incident respiratory illness. Bronchial reactivity and the course of lung function after WTC exposure. PI: Thomas K. Aldrich. National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health, 1U01OH010411-01, 9/1/2012- 8/31/2014, 10% LOE. This study will aim to (1) to quantify the change in bronchial reactivity over 10 years; (2) to determine whether initial and/or subsequent bronchial reactivity is associated with the decline in lung function from 2002 to 2013; and (3) to determine whether anti- inflammatory treatment (mainly inhaled corticosteroids [ICS]) ameliorates bronchial hyperreactivity and/or lung function decline in approximately 350 firefighters exposed to the rescue/recovery effort at the World Trade Center after the 9/11/2001 terrorist attack. Dr. Hall is the lead biostatistician for the study. Data Coordinating Center for Medical Monitoring of NYC Firefighters and EMS Personnel Exposed to the World Trade Center Collapse of September 11, 2001. PI: David Prezant. National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health. Contract # 200-2011-39378. 7/1/2011-present, 10% LOE. This grant supports the medical monitoring of New York City Fire Department Personnel exposed to the collapse of the World Trade Center as well as research related to the continued health of that cohort. Dr. Hall is the lead statistician. Cohort Studies of Incident Cancer in the FDNY Responder Population. PI: David Prezant. National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health. 7/1/2011-present, 10% LOE. Contract # 200-2011-39489. The main objective of this three-year research project is to analyze the cohorts of FDNY firefighters and EMS workers, both WTC-exposed and non-WTC exposed in order to compare cancer incidence by WTC-exposure status during the early post-9/11 years. To achieve this objective, we intend to conduct longitudinal surveillance of cancer diagnoses in WTC-exposed and non- WTC-exposed individuals through 2008 and later, as data become available. We have already completed analyses in an FDNY firefighter cohort on cancer incidence rates 7 years post-9/11. We will continue to add follow-up observational years to the firefighter cohort, conduct similar analyses in FDNY EMS workers and then compare the cancer burden between these two cohorts. These populations are treated as two distinct groups of workers because of previously described demographic and exposure differences. Dr. Hall is the lead statistician for the study. Statistical Core, The Einstein Aging Study PI: Charles B. Hall (PD: Richard B. Lipton). National Institute of Aging, Grant # P01 AG03949, 4/1/2011-3/31/2016. 17% LOE. The Statistical Core is responsible for the quality of data management and analysis for all cores and projects of this program project that includes several observational cohort studies. The Statistical Core works to identify cross project analyses of scientific significance, to develop new statistical methodology appropriate to address Aging Study scientific questions, to develop robust cognitive test norms, and to identify and distinguish factors that predict age-related cognitive decline from those that predict dementia-related cognitive decline. Dr. Hall was Leader of the Core from 2001-2012, and remains a statistician for the study. Two Preclinical Latent Scores to Predict Occurrence of DAT. PI: Chengjie Xiong, Washington University. AECOM PI: Richard Lipton. National Institute of Aging, Grant # R01 AG034119, 8/1/2010-7/31/2015. 5% LOE. The cognitive decline associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD) occurs years prior to the clinical diagnosis. However, the emergence of the earliest cognitive and functional impairment and the precise duration of the preclinical progression remain poorly understood by clinicians. Better methods are therefore urgently needed to reliably detect the antecedent cognitive and functional changes before the onset of the dementia of Alzheimer type (DAT). This interdisciplinary team of investigators at the Washington University, Rush Univeristy, and the Albert Einstein College of Medicine will develop such methods to improve detection of the preclinical longitudinal cognitive and functional changes of AD using the state-of-the-art longitudinal statistical methods, modern psychometric theory (i.e., IRT), and cutting-edge bioinformatics techniques. Dr. Hall is a statistician on the study. Clinical and Translational Science Award. PI: Harry Shamoon. NIH National Center for Research Resources. Grant #1-UL1-RR025750-01. 5% LOE. 5/19/2008-4/30/2013. Dr. Hall is part of the Biostatistics/Epidemiology/Research Design Core, providing support in these areas to investigators. Albert Einstein Cancer Center. PI: David Goldman. National Cancer Institute, Grant #P30 CA13330-35. 5% LOE. 7/1/07- 6/30/13. Support to biostatistics shared resource for cancer center. Dr. Hall is one of the statisticians supporting the shared resource. Intensive Blood Pressure Reduction to Lessen Functional Decline. PI: Leslie Wolfson (University of Connecticut School of Medicine). National Institute of Aging, Grant # 2R01AG022092-06A1. 8/15/2011-7/31/2016. 3% LOE. Ambulatory blood pressure has been shown that in persons whose initial and 2-year 24-h systolic BP was <130 mmHg, significantly lower white matter hyperintensity volume and better mobility was noted (faster gait velocity, decreased turn and stair descent time) than those whose 24-h systolic BP was >140 mmHg. The goal of this randomized intervention study is to assess causality between 24-h systolic BP and reductions in mobility, associated with WMH in older people. The study will determine the impact of reducing the 24-h systolic BP to a goal of <125 mmHg (intensive BP control) vs. a goal of <140 mmHg (standard BP control). Dr. Hall is the lead statistician for the study. Screening and Diagnosis of Mild Alzheimer's Disease in Latino Elders PI: Ellen Grober. National Institute of Aging, Grant # 1R21AG036935-01A1. 5% LOE. 9/1/2011- 8/31/2013. Recognition of mild dementia is poor in primary care settings where most Latino/Hispanic elders receive their care. Prompted by the lack of accurate and efficient case finding methods to identify mild dementia in disparity groups, we have developed and validated an efficient and cost-effective tool to identify patients with early dementia and AD in primary care settings. In this R21, we extend our case-finding efforts to Spanish speaking patients from a federally qualified community health center that serves a largely Latino/Hispanic community in the South Bronx. Screen positive patients and a random sample of screen negative controls will undergo a research quality evaluation to determine dementia status. This will be the standard against which the accuracy of our case finding tool will be assessed. We will compare the operating characteristics of our case finding tool with the most widely used dementia screening test and determine the most accurate and efficient way to identify cases of mild dementia in Latino/Hispanic elders. Diagnostic information and treatment recommendations will be provided to the patient's physician. In this study Dr. Hall provides overall direction to statistical analyses and management of the data collected in the study, in particular quality control and analyses of the possible effect of study attrition on the estimation of the primary outcome. Role of Genes in Exceptional Longevity in Humans PI: Nir Barzalai. National Institute of Aging, Grant # P01 AG027734. 04/01/2007-03/31/2012. 11% LOE. The objective of this study is to identify genes that contribute to exceptional longevity in humans. Dr. Hall provided statistical analyses to the confirmatory prospective studies of candidate genes. Data Coordinating Center for Medical Monitoring of NYC Firefighters and EMS Personnel Exposed to the World Trade Center Collapse of September 11, 2001. PI: David Prezant. National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health, Grant # 5-U1O-OH008242, 7/1/2004-6/31/2011, 40% LOE. This grant supports the medical monitoring of New York City Fire Department Personnel exposed to the collapse of the World Trade Center as well as research related to the continued health of that cohort. Dr. Hall was the lead statistician for the research. Gene Expression & Proteomic Profilling of Benign Breast Tissue & Risk of Breast Cancer. PI: Tom Rohan.
