Incidental pulmonary nodules found on computed tomography (CT) scans were more frequent in Turkey than in developed countries. Nodule prevalence increased significantly with age, highlighting the need for further research and follow-up protocols.

Area of Science:

  • Radiology
  • Pulmonology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Pulmonary nodules are frequent incidental findings on computed tomography (CT).
  • Limited data exists on the frequency and characteristics of incidental pulmonary nodules in Turkey.
  • This study addresses the gap in understanding nodule prevalence within the Turkish population.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the frequency and size distribution of incidental pulmonary nodules in Turkey.
  • To analyze the relationship between nodule characteristics and patient demographics (age, gender).
  • To provide baseline data for future pulmonary nodule research and clinical guidelines in the region.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of computed tomography (CT) scans from January 2015 to December 2016.

  • Evaluation of nodules for number, size, density, and location.
  • Statistical analysis of nodule frequency in relation to age and gender.

    • Main Results:

    • 48.25% of cases (288 out of 603) presented with 420 pulmonary nodules.
    • Solid nodules were found in 30.5% of cases (184 patients).
    • Nodule frequency showed a statistically significant increase with advancing age (p=0.001).

    Conclusions:

    • The prevalence of incidental pulmonary nodules in Turkey appears higher compared to developed countries.
    • Age is a significant factor influencing the occurrence of pulmonary nodules.
    • Further studies are warranted to establish optimal follow-up strategies for incidental pulmonary nodules in Turkey.
