Overview

A systematic review analyzes LDCT uptake and determinants in an Asian population, suggesting improvement strategies.

Key Points

  • The study aims to evaluate the uptake of LDCT lung cancer screening and identify factors influencing this uptake in Asia.
  • Conducted a systematic review of studies published from January 2011 to October 2025.
  • Included studies must report on LDCT uptake and factors influencing it.
  • Applied a random-effects model to combine effect estimates.
  • Performed subgroup analyses to explore heterogeneity.
  • Pooled LDCT uptake rate for lung cancer screening was found to be 46%.
  • Significant program-level factors influencing uptake included sample scale and program setting.
  • Patient-level factors favoring participation included family history of lung cancer (OR 1.95) and chronic respiratory diseases (OR 1.97).
  • Barriers to participation included being male (OR 0.61) and engaging in frequent exercise (OR 0.89).
