Dismal adherence to lung cancer screening in a diverse urban population.

Objectives: High-risk populations for lung cancer, including Black men and those with lower socioeconomic status, experience worse outcomes when treated. The mortality benefit of lung cancer screening cannot be realized without adherence to annual screening. Our study aims to understand annual adherence to lung cancer screening in a population traditionally experiencing health disparities, thus identifying lung cancer screening's impact on lung cancer disparities.

Pleural Effusion Outcomes in Intensive Care: Analysis of a Large Clinical Database.

Background: Pleural effusions are common in critically ill patients. However, the management of pleural fluid on relevant clinical outcomes is poorly studied. We evaluated the impact of pleural effusion in the intensive care unit (ICU).
