Improving follow-up imaging practices for patients with community-acquired pneumonia by Meirian Evans, Aazaz Rehman, Joseph Marchant, Matthew Pavitt, Rachel Buxton-Thomas

“…Introduction: The incidence of lung cancer in patients presenting to hospital with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is variably reported as 1–9.2%.1–3 The radiographic features of pneumonia and lung cancer can be similar. Therefore, in the context of lower respiratory tract symptoms, a malignancy visible on a chest X-ray may be missed.The British Thoracic Society (BTS) guidelines for the management of CAP in adults (2009) recommend that high-risk patients (aged >50 and current or ex-smokers) with consolidation on a chest X-ray should be followed up with a repeat chest X-ray 6 weeks after their initial presentation to ensure resolution of changes and to exclude an underlying malignancy.3Initial audit data in our local respiratory department showed that 41% of patients were incorrectly not followed up with repeat imaging. …”
