Community distress and ‘no shows’ to CT screenings

Jeff Yang, a Thoracic Surgeon at Massachusetts General Hospital, recently shared a post on X:

“Outstanding presentation at WTSA2024 by Rajika Jindani. Pts living in communities w/ higher distressed community index scores have a higher probability of not showing to their CT screening. Intervention to reduce ‘no-shows’ coming soon from Neel Chudgar & Brendon Stiles.”
