 In this prognostic study of data from 2 randomized clinical trials (Prostate, Lung, Colorectal, and Ovarian Cancer Screening Trial [n = 10 464] and National Lung Screening Trial [n = 5493]), a convolutional neural network identified persons at high risk of long-term mortality based on their chest radiographs, even with adjustment for the radiologists' diagnostic findings and standard risk factors.

Individuals at high risk of mortality based on chest radiography may benefit from prevention, screening, and lifestyle interventions.
