Abstract
New biomarkers for the diagnosis of indeterminate lung nodules (IPN) suspicious for lung cancer are being developed regularly. Clinically useful new diagnostic tests for IPN requires improvement in post-test risk classification to reduce subsequent testing or time to diagnosis. Therefore, measuring the activity to a diagnosis is needed. In a collaboration between Lahey Hospital and Medical Center (LHMC), representing a large screening only population, Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC), a tertiary referral center with incidental and screening discovered nodules, and OneFlorida Clinical Research Consortium, a statewide network with incidental nodules, we defined an algorithm to combine real world data (RWD) from electronic health records (EHR) to measure the clinical activity necessary to diagnose an IPN.
