Background
Multicomponent, evidence‐based interventions are viewed increasingly as essential for increasing the use of colorectal cancer (CRC) screening to meet national targets. Multicomponent interventions involve complex care pathways and interactions across multiple levels, including the individual, health system, and community.
Methods
The authors developed a framework and identified metrics...
Background
This report details the cost effectiveness of a non‐nurse patient navigation (PN) program that was implemented at the University of Chicago Medical Center to increase colonoscopy‐based colorectal cancer (CRC) screening.
Methods
The authors investigated the impact of the PN intervention by collecting process measures. Individuals who received navigation were compared with a historic cohort...
BACKGROUND
In the first CONCORD study, 5‐year survival for patients with diagnosed with rectal cancer between 1990 and 1994 was <60%, with large racial disparities noted in the majority of participating states. We have updated these findings to 2009 by examining population‐based survival by stage of disease at the time of diagnosis, race, and calendar period.
METHODS
Data from the CONCORD‐2...
BACKGROUNDThe Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) established and supported a 4‐year Colorectal Cancer Screening Demonstration Program (CRCSDP) from 2005 to 2009 for low‐income, under‐ or uninsured men and women aged 50‐64 at 5 sites in the United States.
METHODSA multiple methods evaluation was conducted including 1) a longitudinal, comparative case study of program implementation,...
There are scant data available on the relationship between smoking and total prostate specific antigen, free prostate specific antigen and percent-free prostate specific antigen. Given the high prevalence of smoking and the frequency of prostate specific antigen screening, it is important to determine any association between smoking and prostate specific antigen values using nationally representative...
To determine the relationship between glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and free prostate-specific antigen (fPSA), percent-free PSA (%fPSA), and total PSA (tPSA) in patients with diminished kidney function not on dialysis, using nationally representative data.A total of 3782 men aged ≥ 40 years who participated in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2001-2006, and who met eligibility...
