Incarceration status was based on correctional facility addresses, phone numbers, or incarceration-related discharge flags from Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware in the electronic medical record. Reports were initially screened with text-based query for \"recommend\" and/or \"follow-up.\" Two radiologists manually reviewed candidate reports.

Analyses of adherence to recommended timing were restricted to recommendations with an interpretable follow-up interval.

Given the clinical challenge in diagnosing these conditions, diaphragm dysfunction is often suggested incidentally on initial imaging for workup of these symptoms. Imaging can play an important role both in raising the initial suspicion for diaphragm dysfunction as well as in making the diagnosis through real-time evaluation of the diaphragm's function. This document focuses on the initial imaging of suspected diaphragm dysfunction to confirm the diagnosis and evaluate for underlying leading to the dysfunction. The American College of Radiology Appropriateness Criteria are evidence-based guidelines for specific clinical conditions that are reviewed annually by a multidisciplinary expert panel. The guideline development and revision process support the systematic analysis of the medical literature from peer reviewed journals. Established methodology principles such as Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation or GRADE are adapted to evaluate the evidence. The RAND/UCLA Appropriateness Method User Manual provides the methodology to determine the appropriateness of imaging and treatment procedures for specific clinical scenarios.
