Objectives: Chest radiography (CXR) is the most common screening procedure for the detection of lung cancer. A comparative CXR review can help to detect new shadows. Participants (pts) who undergo repeated screening at the same facility as the health check-up can receive a comparative review of the CXR. It has been hypothesized that the diagnosis of CXR abnormalities in screening would be different when compared to previous CXR and when not. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed one-year cohort derived from the ongoing MedCity21 health check-up registry. The pts with abnormalities requiring medication in CXR were invited to our clinic for chest computed tomography (CT). We compared the varieties of abnormalities on CXR between repeated and first-visit pts using chi-square tests. Results: A total of 13,690 repeated / first visits of 7872 / 5818 (57.5 / 42.5%) pts were enrolled. The CXR abnormalities included 324 of 143 / 191 pts and 234 of 108 / 126 pts who underwent chest CT, respectively. Repeated pts had a significantly lower proportion of abnormalities in CXR that required medication than the first-visit pts (p < 0.01). CT confirmation revealed that CXR abnormalities in repeated pts were diagnosed with different variations compared to those of first-visit pts. Repeated pts had a significantly lower proportion of old inflammatory changes (p=0.02) and a higher proportion of acute inflammatory shadow (p=0.02) than first-visit pts. Conclusions: Immediate confirmation by CT revealed that CXR abnormalities in repeated pts were diagnosed with different variations compared to those of firsttime pts. A comparative review of previous CXR may be highly effective in ruling out lung cancer. *Correspondence to: Tatsuo Kimura, M.D. Ph.D., Department of Premier Preventive Medicine, Graduate School of Medicine, Osaka City University, 1-143 AbenoHARUKAS 21F, Abenosuji, Abeno-ku Osaka 545-6090, Japan, Tel: 81-6-6624-4041; Fax: 81-6-6624-8212; E-mail: kimutats@med.osaka-cu.ac.jp

It is very important to make the smallest possible surgical paraumbilical transperitoneal incision, the so-called minilaparotomy 8-10 cm long, which is generally sufficient to perform surgery, and significantly reduces pain after surgery, significantly accelerates wound healing, and reduces the risk of postoperative hernia to a minimum [1]. If necessary, the surgical incision can always be further expanded.

The increase of information in recent years have led to different types of information synthesis such as systematic or literature reviews. In many circumstances, this information synthesis needs to be expedited in order to meet the rushed needs of practitioners, researchers and decision makers. In these scenarios, a rapid review can be deemed beneficial for the immediate need for acquiring information. A rapid review can be defined as a type of knowledge acquisition and synthesis (much like systematic reviews) where certain elements of the systematic review are simplified and/or omitted, such that information can be gathered in a time sensitive manner. A step-by-step guideline is provided in this paper as an introduction to those who are interested in conducting rapid reviews in order to meet the time sensitive needs of information.
