Statistical modeling can determine what factors are predictive of appropriate follow-up in patients presenting with incidental pulmonary nodules on CT
EJM Barbosa Jr, K Kelly - European Journal of Radiology, 2020 - Elsevier
Purpose To assess the performance of statistical modeling in predicting follow-up
adherence of incidentally detected pulmonary nodules (IPN) on CT, based on patient
variables (PV), radiology report related variables (RRRV) and physician-patient
communication variables (PPCV). Methods 200 patients with IPN on CT were retrospectively
identified and randomly selected. PV (age, gender, smoking status, ethnicity), RRRV (nodule
size, patient context, whether follow-up recommendations were provided) and PPCV …
