Abstract:Objective To investigate the detection rate and epidemiological characteristics of pulmonary nodules among medical professionals in a tertiary hospital in Hefei City, and to analyze the related influencing factors. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted in medical staff undergoing pulmonary nodule screening using low-dose spiral computed tomography and taking part in completed questionnaire survey in the Health Management Center, the First Affiliated Hospital of University of Science and Technology of China (Anhui Provincial Hospital) in 2021. Results A total of 1,280 patients with pulmonary nodules were detected among 3,475 subjects undergoing physical examination, with a positive rate of 36.83%. The detection rate was higher in males (45.16%, 443/981) than in females (33.56%, 837/2,494). Among the patients with pulmonary nodulesdetected, patients with bilateral pulmonary nodules accounted for the largest proportion (58.36%, 747/1,280), while patients with left pulmonary nodules accounted for the lowest proportion (13.98%, 179/1,280). By multivariate logistic regression analysis, it was found that the age of 31-40 years old (OR=2.372, 95%CI:1.768-3.183), 41-50 years old (OR=36.394, 95%CI:25.803-51.333), 51-60 years old (OR=51.876, 95%CI:34.380-78.275), family history of lung cancer (OR=1.521, 95%CI:1.056-2.192) and frequent light-headedness or dizziness (OR=1.625, 95%CI:1.072-2.462) were independent risk factors affecting the detection of pulmonary nodules in the medical staff (all P<0.05). Conclusion The detection rate of pulmonary nodules is higher in medical staff with older age and a family history of lung cancer. Special attention should be paid to frequent light-headedness or dizziness as a common symptom of pulmonary nodules.
