What is Fleischner Recommendations for the Management of Subsolid Pulmonary Nodules: High Awareness but Limited Conformance – a Survey Study about?
## Objectives The aim of this study was to assess awareness and conformance to the Fleischner society recommendations for the management of subsolid pulmonary nodules (SSN) in clinical practice. ## Methods An online questionnaire with four imaging cases was sent to 1579 associates from the European Respiratory Society and 757 from the European Society of Thoracic Imaging. Each respondent was asked to choose from several options which one they thought was the indicated management for the nodule presented. Awareness and conformance to the Fleischner recommendations (FR) were assessed and correlated to respondents characteristics. ## Results In total, 119 radiologists (response rate 16.0 %) and 243 pulmonologists (response rate 16.5 %) were included. Awareness of the FR was higher in radiologists than in pulmonologists (93 % vs. 70 %, p < 0.001), as was implementation in daily practice (66 % vs. 47 %, p < 0.001). Radiologists conformed to FR in rates of 31, 69, 68, and 82 %, and pulmonologists in 12, 43, 70, and 75 % for cases 1 to 4, respectively. Overmanagement was common. Conformance in SSN management was associated with awareness, working in an academic practice, larger practice s
