Title
Developing a classifier of smoking history from chest x-ray images
Summary
Smoking history is subjectively reported. To help provide an objective biomarker of smoking history, we propose to develop a classifier for smoking history from PLCO chest x-ray images. The classifier could have a stronger association with lung cancer than reported smoking history, in which case it may be useful in risk prediction models.
Aims
* Develop deep-learning-based classifier for aspects of smoking history (duration, intensity, quit-years, pack-years) by splitting data into training/validation/test sets
* Assess the accuracy of the predictions
* Include predictions as covariates into a risk-prediction tool, such as the Lung Cancer Risk Assessment Tool and see if it adds to, or replaces, reported smoking history
