<h3>Importance</h3> For lung cancer screening to confer mortality benefit, adherence annual with low-dose computed tomography scans is essential. Although the National Lung Screening Trial had an rate of 95%, current data are limited on across diverse practice settings in United States. <h3>Objective</h3> To evaluate patterns and factors associated for after negative results a baseline examination, particularly centralized vs decentralized programs. <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3>...
Importance Maximizing benefits of lung cancer screening requires timely follow-up after a positive test. The American College Radiology (ACR) Lung CT Screening Reporting and Data System (Lung-RADS) recommends testing timing based on the result. Objective To determine rates factors associated with recommended examination by Lung-RADS category. Design, Setting, Participants This prospective cohort study examinations performed from January 1, 2015, through July 31, 2020, 2021, was conducted at...
<h3>Importance</h3> Comorbidities characterize the underlying health status of individuals. In context lung cancer screening (LCS), lung-related comorbidities may influence observed benefits and harms. <h3>Objective</h3> To compare characteristics individuals undergoing LCS, LCS examination result, detection rate (CDR), false-positive (FPR) in those with without comorbidities. <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3> A prospective cohort study was conducted 5 academic community sites across...
Since 2014, Medicaid expansion has been implemented in many states across the US, increasing health care access among vulnerable populations, including formerly incarcerated people who experience higher mortality rates than general population. To examine population-level association of with postrelease from all causes, unintentional drug overdoses, opioid polydrug suicides, and homicides Rhode Island (RI), which expanded Medicaid, compared North Carolina (NC), did not expand during study...
