Preoperative chest computed tomography evaluation for predicting intraoperative lung resection strongly depends on interpreters experience

Lung Cancer Feb 23, 2021

Collaud S, Alnajdawi Y, Stork T, et al. - In this study, researchers evaluated if chest CT could predict the extent of lung resection and if the CT interpreters’ level of experience was related. Researchers constructed a pseudonymized CT library from 20 patients who had curative-intent lung resection for centrally located non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), which was then interpreted by 20 thoracic surgery residents or attendings. They classified variables describing interpreters’ experience into equal-sized groups. Scores between groups were compared by using independent sample T-test and one-way ANOVA/Tukey post hoc tests. This study’s findings demonstrate that, when predicting intraoperative lung resection for centrally located NSCLC, preoperative CT assessment depends strongly on interpreters’ experience. Significantly higher mean scores were seen among attending surgeons vs residents. Between the groups, all scores were significantly different and related to interpreters’ levels of experience, except for interpreters’ age.
