To evaluate the impact of the updated United States Preventive Services Task Force colorectal cancer (CRC) screening recommendations on screening rates in a large health system.
We reviewed Massachusetts General Brigham electronic health record data for individuals eligible for CRC screening between January 3, 2020, and January 5, 2023, and calculated whether age-eligible individuals were up-to-date with CRC screening.
There were large declines in the percentage of individuals who were up-to-date with CRC screening for all racial/ethnic groups, with non-Hispanic Asians being largest (-13.5%).
Health systems should implement culturally tailored strategies to reach and screen newly eligible individuals for CRC screening to prevent worsening disparities in CRC.
评估美国预防服务工作组(USPSTF)更新的结直肠癌(CRC)筛查建议对大型医疗系统中筛查率的影响。
我们回顾了马萨诸塞州综合医院电子健康记录数据,其中包括 2020 年 1 月 3 日至 2023 年 1 月 5 日期间符合 CRC 筛查条件的个体,并计算了年龄符合条件的个体是否进行了 CRC 筛查。
所有种族/族裔群体中,符合 CRC 筛查条件的个体比例均大幅下降,其中非西班牙裔亚裔降幅最大(-13.5%)。
医疗系统应实施文化适宜的策略,为新符合条件的个体提供 CRC 筛查,以防止 CRC 筛查的差异进一步恶化。
