This page describes the two ESPBI (Electronic Health Services and Cooperation Infrastructure) questionnaire forms used in the Lithuanian lung cancer prevention programme. Each questionnaire captures a structured dataset defined in the ADP (Early Diagnostics and Preventive Programmes) research specification.
These Questionnaire resources are independent of the FHIR profile-based data model. They represent the ESPBI form structure as-is, while the narrative mapping tables below show how each questionnaire item maps to the corresponding FHIR profile and element.
| Questionnaire | ESPBI Form | Clinical Stage |
|---|---|---|
| LDCT Report | ADP Table 7.1 (MDKT) | LDCT imaging acquisition and radiological evaluation |
| Pre-LDCT Questionnaire | ADP Table 7.2 | Pre-examination clinical assessment and risk factors |
The LDCT report form captures the complete low-dose chest computed tomography screening workflow: examination context (date, radiation dose, technologist, facility), pulmonary nodule findings (type, location, morphology, size/volume), significant incidental findings in and outside the lungs, LUNG-RADS category assessment, and follow-up recommendations.

The pre-LDCT form captures data required for the initial assessment of the patient before LDCT screening. It includes functional status (self-care ability), prior chest CT examinations, recent respiratory infections, anthropometric measurements, detailed smoking history (current and past), and active diagnoses. This data feeds into the lung cancer risk assessment and eligibility determination.
