Might be splitting hairs here. but not against adding it

here’s a screenshot from USPSTF

If we do add it I think it would be better formatted w/ an asterisk in the text cloze "any* "
then add just ā€œ100+ cigarettesā€ to the extra

This is interesting, i genuinely thought ever smoker was if someone ever smoked 1 cigarette before lol

Interesting, but might be a source of unnecessary confusion (not sure we need to know this for any exam)

agree with @herstein.jacob

Partly why I’m not sure it’s necessary. The odds someone’s ā€œever smokedā€ but less than 100 sounds like a very small margin. It’s almost like if you’ve smoked one you’ve smoked a 100.
(But I will admit when I first got this card I remember wondering what ā€œeverā€ actually meant, I just didn’t care to go check :laughing:)

Not sure if I’m missing something, but the card doesn’t mention ever smoker, right?

no it says Any which is like the same thing.

ā€œany smoking hxā€ = ā€œever smokedā€

Ah okay, I get it

I don’t think I’ve ever encountered a question that mentions the number of cigarettes a person’s had in their lifetime, it’s always pack years, which I’m sure is waaaayy more than a 100

That’s why I’m not sure if we should add this to the card, might cause extra confusion

yup
Just 1 pack year = 365 packs = 7300 cigarettes (standard pack is 20)

Because it’s misleading otherwise. You really going to order that ultrasound on everyone who has ever tried smoking?

And call me crazy, but 100 cigarettes/5 packs isn’t confusing. Maybe eliciting if it’s more or less than 100 by a meaningful amount, but that’s a patient interview problem, not a concept-is-confusing-problem.

I’d suggest adding it to the ā€˜Text’ then? @AnKing-Maintainers

Per USPSTF, a one-time abdominal ultrasound is recommended to screen what demographic for abdominal aortic aneurysm?

{{c1::65-75 year old males with any history of smoking more than 100 cigarettes (5 packs)}}

This is definitely just something to add to extra, not needed in text
