(1) Identify the proportion of primary care visits in which American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) men receive a prostate-specific antigen test (PSAT)and/or a digital rectal exam (DRE), (2) describe characteristics of primary care visits in which AI/AN receive PSA and/or DRE, and (3) identify whether AI/AN receive PSA and/or DRE less often than non-Hispanic White (nHW) men.
This was a secondary analysis of the National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NAMCS) during 2013-2016 and 2018 and the NAMCS Community Health Center (CHC) datasets from 2012-2015. Weighted bivariate and multivariable tests analyzed the data to account for the complex survey design.
For AI/AN men, 1.67 per 100 visits (95% CI = 0-4.24) included a PSATs (or PSAT) and 0 visits included a DRE between 2013-2016 and 2018. The rate of PSA for non-AI/AN men was 9.35 per 100 visits (95% CI = 7.78-10.91) and 2.52 per 100 visits (95% CI = 1.61-3.42) for DRE. AI/AN men were significantly less likely to receive a PSA than nHW men (aOR = 0.09, 95% CI = 0.01-0.83). In CHCs, AI/AN men experienced 4.26 PSAT per 100 visits (95% CI = 0.96-7.57) compared to 5.00 PSAT per 100 visits (95% CI = 4.40-5.68) for non-AI/AN men. DRE rates for AI/AN men was 0.63 per 100 visits (95% CI = 0-1.61) compared to 1.05 per 100 (95% CI = 0.74-1.37) for non-AI/AN men. There was not a statistically significant disparity in the CHC data regarding PSA (OR = 0.91, 95% CI = 0.42-1.98) or DRE (OR = 0.75, 95% CI = 0.15-3.74), compared to nHW men.
Efforts are needed to better understand why providers may not use PSA and DRE with AI/AN men compared to nHW men.
(1)确定在初级保健就诊中,接受前列腺特异性抗原检测(PSAT)和/或直肠指检(DRE)的美国印第安人/阿拉斯加原住民(AI/AN)男性的比例,(2)描述 AI/AN 接受 PSA 和/或 DRE 检查的就诊特征,(3)确定 AI/AN 是否比非西班牙裔白人(nHW)男性接受 PSA 和/或 DRE 检查的频率更低。
这是对 2013-2016 年和 2018 年国家门诊医疗调查(NAMCS)以及 2012-2015 年 NAMCS 社区卫生中心(CHC)数据集的二次分析。加权双变量和多变量检验用于分析数据,以考虑到复杂的调查设计。
对于 AI/AN 男性,2013-2016 年和 2018 年期间,每 100 次就诊中,有 1.67 次(95%CI=0-4.24)包括 PSATs(或 PSAT),而无 DRE。非 AI/AN 男性的 PSA 率为每 100 次就诊 9.35 次(95%CI=7.78-10.91),DRE 率为每 100 次就诊 2.52 次(95%CI=1.61-3.42)。AI/AN 男性接受 PSA 检测的可能性明显低于 nHW 男性(比值比[OR] = 0.09,95%CI=0.01-0.83)。在 CHC 中,AI/AN 男性每 100 次就诊接受 4.26 次 PSAT(95%CI=0.96-7.57),而非 AI/AN 男性每 100 次就诊接受 5.00 次 PSAT(95%CI=4.40-5.68)。AI/AN 男性的 DRE 率为每 100 次就诊 0.63 次(95%CI=0-1.61),而非 AI/AN 男性为每 100 次就诊 1.05 次(95%CI=0.74-1.37)。与 nHW 男性相比,CHC 数据中 PSA(OR=0.91,95%CI=0.42-1.98)或 DRE(OR=0.75,95%CI=0.15-3.74)的差异没有统计学意义。
需要努力更好地了解为什么与 nHW 男性相比,提供者可能不会对 AI/AN 男性使用 PSA 和 DRE。
