Table 5. Level of agreement between self-reported data and case report form data collected from the GP records (routinely collected data) by type of investigations use in the 2 months post baseline (n=167).

Type of investigations CRF (+), SR (+) CRF (+), SR (−) CRF (−), SR (+) CRF (−), SR (−) Agreement (%)
‘Other' chest X-ray, n (%) 12 (7.19) 2 (1.20) 52 (31.14) 101 (60.48) 113 (67.66)
CT scan, n (%) 2 (1.20) 1 (0.60) 7 (4.19) 157 (94.01) 159 (95.21)
MRI scan, n (%) 0 (0.00) 0 (0.00) 9 (5.39) 158 (94.61) 158 (94.61)
PET-CT scan, n (%) 0 (0.00) 0 (0.00) 4 (2.40) 163 (97.60) 163 (97.60)

Abbreviations: CT=computed tomography; CRF=case report form data; ELCID=Early Lung Cancer Investigation and Diagnosis; GP=general practice; MRI=magnetic resonance imaging; PET-CT=positron emission tomography–computed tomography; SR=self-reported data.

Other' chest X-ray means additional CXR received following the CXR received on the ELCID trial as part of the ELCID intervention. The differences reported in this table may reflect a change in wording from the original CRF, that was subsequently improved from ‘Chest X-Ray' to ‘Chest X-Ray (not including any received on the ELCID trial)'.

CRF (−) means that the routine data did not indicate an investigation; CRF (+) means that the routine data indicated an investigation; SR (−) means that the respondent did not indicate an investigation; SR (+) means that the respondent indicated an investigation.
