| الوصف: | 10539 Background: Guidelines for screening mammography have changed several times since initiation of regular screening mammography in the 1970’s. Most recently, in 2015, the American Cancer Society (ACS) revised their screening guidelines, recommending that a patient discuss screening mammography with her primary care doctor (PCP) between the ages of 40-44 and should begin yearly screening at age 45; after age 54, ACS recommended screening every other year. Prior to this, from 2003-2015, ACS had recommended screening mammography every year beginning at the age of 40. We hypothesized that these guidelines were adopted to varying degrees in different patient populations and may have disproportionately reduced screening mammography utilization in socioeconomically disadvantaged populations. Methods: Here, we analyzed monthly screening mammography rates over time in two large New York City hospitals, one in a socioeconomically advantaged area and the other in a socioeconomically disadvantaged area. Using our radiology records query system, we searched for monthly screening mammography numbers for women by decade from 2012 to 2018. We performed statistical analysis to evaluate changes in number of exams over time. Student’s t-tests were used to evaluate for significant differences. Results: In both groups of 40-49 year old patients, monthly mammograms increased from 2012-2016. In the socioeconomically advantaged group, this increase continued until 2018 resulting in an overall 400% increase in screening mammograms over time. The change in ACS screening guidelines had no effect on the rate of screening mammography in this group. Conversely, after the revision of the ACS guidelines in 2015, there was a marked decline in screening mammography in the 40-49 year old group in the socioeconomically disadvantaged population. By 2018, there was a statistically significant difference in women screened in all age groups (40-49, p |
