Screening Outcomes

Among screened individuals, 81% had benign or low-risk Lung-RADS findings. Across eight studies, about 2% of screened individuals were diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer. Comparative evidence indicated nurse-led SDM was non-inferior to standard approaches for LDCT uptake. Single-arm studies showed a pooled LDCT uptake rate of 98%, but the article interprets this as likely affected by selection bias and intensive research support. Willingness-to-participate results should be interpreted cautiously because heterogeneity was extreme.
