The American Cancer Society (ACS) is interested in facilitating colorectal cancer screening (CRCS) in primary care.
Similar clinics were assigned randomly to 1 of 3 CRCS arms: (1) usual care, (2) exam-room posters designed by the ACS; and (3) posters plus patient reminder calls from an ACS volunteer.
Compared to patients due for screening in Arm 1, the odds ratio for getting CRCS in Arm 2 was 1.04 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.81-1.34), P value not significant; in Arm 3, it was 1.49 (95% CI, 1.16-1.90), P value < .001.
Exam-room posters plus patient reminder calls from the ACS can increase CRCS in primary care.
美国癌症协会(ACS)致力于在初级保健中促进结直肠癌筛查(CRCS)。
将类似的诊所随机分配到3个CRCS组中的1组:(1)常规护理;(2)由ACS设计的诊室海报;(3)海报加ACS志愿者的患者提醒电话。
与第1组中应进行筛查的患者相比,第2组进行CRCS的优势比为1.04(95%置信区间[CI],0.81 - 1.34),P值无统计学意义;在第3组中,优势比为1.49(95%CI,1.16 - 1.90),P值<0.001。
诊室海报加ACS志愿者的患者提醒电话可提高初级保健中的CRCS。
