NIH awarded a project to improve lung cancer screening decision-making using real-world data and simulation models, focusing on high-risk populations with chronic conditions.
Description
This NIH-funded project aims to advance public health by examining real-world data on lung cancer screening outcomes, particularly in populations with high comorbidity burdens. The study leverages electronic health records and claims data for patients aged 55-80 undergoing annual low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) screening, utilizing validated models to simulate outcomes and inform clinical practice and policy.
