Predictors of lung cancer screening utilization in a population-based survey

Journal of the American College of Radiology Jul 20, 2020

Zgodic A, Zahnd WE, Miller DP, et al. - Given that lung cancer can be found earlier and mortality attenuated in high-risk people by low-dose CT (LDCT) screening, researchers used a population-based survey to investigate demographic, financial, as well as healthcare factors related to getting screened. They analyzed data from the Lung Cancer Screening Module and core modules of the 2017 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System to assess these factors. Overall 10 states that administered the screening module participated. Findings revealed screening was less among the uninsured, while higher LDCT screening was seen among those experiencing a health condition (another cancer diagnosis, presence of chronic respiratory conditions) that already sensitized those patients to the advantages of early screening and having insurance coverage. Preference-sensitive screening decisions may be increased via informed and shared decision making among LDCT-eligible patients.
