Purpose: Lung cancer screening with low-dose CT (LDCT) demonstrated reduced mortality in the National Lung Screening Trial, yet there is debate as to whether the reported efficacy can translate into comparable effectiveness with community-based screening. The authors' purpose is to report the baseline patient characteristics and malignancy rate in the first 18 months after implementing a lung cancer screening program in an integrated community health system.
Methods: Patients were screened at 1 of 10 participating community-based centers within a 22-hospital system from 2013 to 2015.
