Cross-sectional analysis reveals disparities in lung cancer screening outcomes, suggesting socioeconomic factors impact follow-up attendance.

Black patients had lower odds of being classified as high-risk compared to White patients, indicating disparities in lung cancer detection.
SCC's findings show that patients who are referred by specialists have a significantly higher likelihood of receiving high-risk classifications.
Only 17.7% of high-risk patients returned for timely follow-up screenings, underscoring ongoing challenges in patient retention.
Individuals from high socioeconomic areas were more likely to attend follow-up visits, pointing to the need for improved strategies to engage patients in lower deprivation areas.
