abstract = {Lung cancer (LC) screening often focuses heavy smokers as a
target for screening group. Heavy smoking can thus be
regarded as an LC pre-screening test with sensitivities and
specificities being different in various populations due to
the differences in smoking histories. We derive here
expected sensitivities and specificities of various criteria
to preselect individuals for LC screening in 27 European
countries with diverse smoking prevalences. Sensitivities of
various heavy-smoking-based pre-screening criteria were
estimated by combining sex-specific proportions of people
meeting these criteria in the target population for
screening with associations of heavy smoking with LC risk.
Expected specificities were approximated by the proportion
of individuals not meeting the heavy smoking definition.
Estimated sensitivities and specificities varied widely
across countries, with sensitivities being generally higher
among men (range: $33-80\%)$ than among women (range:
$9-79\%),$ and specificities being generally lower among men
(range: $48-90\%)$ than among women (range: $70-99\%).$
Major variation in sensitivities and specificities was also
seen across different pre-selection criteria for LC
screening within individual countries. Our results may
inform the design of LC screening programs in European
countries and serve as benchmarks for novel alternative or
complementary tests for selecting people at high risk for
CT-based LC screening.},
