Factors Associated With Nonadherence to Lung Cancer Screening Across Multiple Screening Time Points.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Screening with low-dose computed tomography (CT) has been shown to reduce mortality from lung cancer in randomized clinical trials in which the rate of adherence to follow-up recommendations was over 90%; however, adherence to Lung Computed Tomography Screening Reporting & Data System (Lung-RADS) recommendations has been low in practice. Identifying patients who are at risk of being nonadherent to screening recommendations may enable personalized outreach to improve overall screening adherence.

Objective

To identify factors associated with patient nonadherence to Lung-RADS recommendations across multiple screening time points.

Design, setting, and participants

This cohort study was conducted at a single US academic medical center across 10 geographically di
