Key Points Question What are the patterns and factors associated with adherence to annual screening for lung cancer across diverse practice settings? Findings In this cohort study, adherence to annual screening was suboptimal overall but was higher among individuals who were screened through centralized vs decentralized programs. The other significant factor associated with adherence was age. Meaning This study suggests that centralized screening programs facilitate greater adherence to annual screening for lung cancer; further efforts to improve adherence need to be adopted to realize the mortality benefit associated with lung cancer screening.
