Uptake of Lung Cancer Screening CT After a Provider Order for Screening in the PROSPR-Lung Consortium.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Uptake of lung cancer screening (LCS) has been slow with less than 20% of eligible people who currently or formerly smoked reported to have undergone a screening CT.

Objective

To determine individual-, health system-, and neighborhood-level factors associated with LCS uptake after a provider order for screening.

Design and subjects

We conducted an observational cohort study of screening-eligible patients within the Population-based Research to Optimize the Screening Process (PROSPR)-Lung Consortium who received a radiology referral/order for a baseline low-dose screening CT (LDCT) from a healthcare provider between January 1, 2015, and June 30, 2019.

Main measures

The primary outcome is screening uptake, defined as LCS-LDCT completion within 90 days
