Imaging activity possibly signalling missed diagnostic opportunities in bladder and kidney cancer: A longitudinal data-linkage study using primary care electronic health records.
Cancer Epidemiology(2020)
摘要
•Suboptimal imaging test use may represent missed opportunities for more timely diagnosis of bladder and kidney cancer.•Our novel linked dataset described patterns of imaging test use and predictors of a first imaging test use in patients with these cancers.•1 in 5 patients received a longer than average time to diagnosis of 4–8 months after a first imaging test.•Patients with less specific symptoms, and with kidney cancer were more likely to receive a first imaging test 4–8 months before diagnosis.
