Abstract
Background: The Early CDT®-Lung antibody blood test plus serial CT-scans for test-positives reduces late-stage lung cancer presentation. This study assessed psychological outcomes of this approach.
Methods: Randomised controlled trial (n=12,208) comparing psychological outcomes 1-12 months post-recruitment in a subsample (n=1032) of test-positive (TPG), test-negative (TNG) and control groups (CG).
Results: Compared to TNG, TPG had lower positive affect (Difference between means (DBM), 3-months (3m):-1.49 (-2.65, - 0.33)), greater impact of worries (DBM 1m:0.26 (0.05, 0.47); 3m:0.28 (0.07, 0.50)), screening distress (DBM 1m:3.59 (2.28, 4.90); 3m:2.29 (0.97, 3.61); 6m:1.94 (0.61, 3.27)) worry about tests (OR 1m:5.79 (2.66, 12.63) and more frequent lung cancer worry (Odds ratio (OR) 1m:2.52 (1.31, 4.83); 3m:2.43 (1.26, 4.68); 6m:2.87 (1.48, 5.60)).
Compared to CG, TPG had greater worry about tests (OR 1m:3.40 (1.69, 6.84)). TNG had lower negative affect (log-transformed DBM 3m:-0.08 (-0.13, -0.02)), higher positive affect (DBM 1m:1.52 (0.43, 2.61); 3m:1.43 (0.33, 2.53); 6m:1.27 (0.17, 2.37)), less impact of worries (DBM 3m:-0.27 (-0.48, -0.07)) and less frequent lung cancer worry (OR 3m:0.49 (0.26, 0.92)).
Conclusions: Negative psychological effects in TPG and positive effects in TNG were short-lived and most differences were small.
