Detail (Long)
Offer low-dose CT screening to asymptomatic pts not meeting age or smoking criteria for screening who are projected to have a high net benefit from screening according to calculated thresholds (e.g., ≥2.6% over 6y on PLCOm2012 calculator).<sup>1</sup><br>
◦ <b>Risk-prediction calculators.</b><sup>1</sup> Calculators reflect variables that contribute to ↑all-cause mortality and ↑screening-related morbidity. Augmenting screening criteria w/ risk-prediction and life-year gained calculators leads to greater equity across race and sex in screening eligibility and net benefits of screening.<br>
◦ Life-year gained calculators combine results of risk prediction and life expectancy estimates into 1 measure.<sup>1</sup><br><br>
