Scan-based age predicts death from causes other than lung cancer
Adding scan-based age to clinical information raised a model’s prediction score for death from causes other than lung cancer from 0.69 to 0.73.Adding scan-based age to clinical information raised a model’s prediction score for death from causes other than lung cancer from 0.69 to 0.73.
Cohort study of 12,478 lung cancer screening participants, median 5 yearsLung cancer
Limit: Using follow-up scans to build the age model could inflate apparent baseline prediction performance
