Sensitivity analysis applying reported cancer incidence in the USA using Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results among persons age 50 or older
| US incidence 8.2 per 100 000 | Cancer transition rate (range) per 1000 | NNT | (Range) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Long | 4.6 | 3.1 (2.3–4.6) | 318 (217–434) |
| Short | 1.9 | 0.4 (0.2–1.0) | 2433 (1035–4141) |
| Ultra-short | 1.6 | 0.1 (0.1–0.2) | 8744 (4871–9743) |
Presented are the annual cancer transition rates and the number of patients that needed to be tested (NNT) to find one cancer. Ranges represent the values obtained when applying minimum or maximum ranges of Barrett prevalence.
