a

Based-on participants (n = 5354) with complete data for the variables in the proposed prediction model. CI = confidence interval; HR = hazard ratio; IPLC = initial primary lung cancer; NOS = not otherwise specified; USPSTF = US Preventive Services Task Force.

b

P value by 2-sided Wald for the cause-specific Cox hazards model.

c

Classification of “other” histology based on International Classification of Diseases–O-3 codes including 8000, 8001, 8010, 8020, 8022, 8030-8033, 8200, 8240, 8244, 8246, 8249, 8560, 8800, 8810, 8890, and 8980; all confirmed lung cancer diagnosis.

d

History of cancer, other than lung, before the time of IPLC diagnosis.

e

Aged 55-80 years, smoked ≥30 pack-years of smoking, and ≤15 years since cessation.

f

Disease extent was defined using Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Extent of Disease as local and regional for early stage and distant for advanced stage.
