1. PREVENTATIVE CARE SCREENING REVIEW
Doralyn Jones DO

2. OBJECTIVES
Understand how USPSTF guidelines are developed and the ratings classification
Recognize the differences in screening guidelines and be able to describe the USPSTF guidelines for various cancer screenings
Know recommendation screening for common sexually transmitted diseases
Define current screening practices for: coronary artery disease, diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, peprostate, colon and lung cancer
Know preventative care screening guidelines for various male and female conditions

3. Why do we Screen? To Prevent morbidity and mortality
Stop damage before symptoms appear
Identify people who are particularly vulnerable to disease
Protect the public from spread of disease

4. I have a healthy person, what screening tests to use?
Burden of disease must be sufficient to warrant screening; does it cause severe disease, disability, death; what is prevalence and are there high risk groups
Test is high quality, accurate detection when asymptomatic, high sensitivity and specificity, reproducible results, safe, simple, cost effective

5. What screening tests to use?
Screening reduces morbidity and mortality, effective treatment for disease, early detection improves survival, outweigh adverse effects of screening, treatment, early diagnosis, randomized control trial of screening shows benefit
DON’T FORGET the importance of a thorough History and Physical!

6. United States Preventative Services Task Force (USPSTF)
Task force sponsored by Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ)
Independent panel of experts in primary care and prevention
Independent of the US government; NOT an official position of the US Department of Health and Human Services
Considered as “the gold standard” by many in health care
Last block, she had everything but this last bullet pt….may be a test question

7. United States Preventative Services Task Force (USPSTF)
The Guide to Clinical Preventive Services 2012

8. United States Preventative Services Task Force (USPSTF)
Systematic review of the literature to answer key questions:
1) Quality rating of the literature used (MEDLINE, COCHRANE, etc)
2) Estimation of benefits and harms
3) Determination of balance of net benefits and
harms
4) Recommendations linked to a letter grade

9. Grading System of USPSTF
A Strongly recommends
B Recommends
C Makes no recommendation
D Recommends against
E Insufficient evidence
She will likely ask the grading system….bc it’s Dr. Jones

10. Grading System of the USPSTF
Strongly recommends (A)
Good evidence that the service improves important health outcomes
There is high certainty that the net benefit is substantial
OFFER THIS SERVICE!

11. Grading System of the USPSTF
Recommends (B)
There is high certainty that the net benefit is moderate or there is moderate certainty that the net benefit is moderate to substantial.
Benefits outweigh harms
OFFER THIS SERVICE!

12. Grading System of the USPSTF
Makes no recommendation (C)
At least fair evidence that the service improves health outcomes
Balance of benefits and harms too close to call
Selectively offer or provide this service to individual patients based on professional judgment and patient preferences. There is at least moderate certainty that the net benefit is small.

13. Grading System of the USPSTF
Recommends against (D)
Moderate evidence or high certainty that the service is ineffective OR
Harms outweigh benefits

14. Grading System of the USPSTF
Insufficient evidence (I)
Evidence lacking, poor quality or conflicting
Balance of benefits and harms cannot be determined

15. Suggestions for Practice
Grade
Definition
Suggestions for Practice A
The USPSTF recommends the service. There is high certainty that the net benefit is substantial.
Offer or provide service B
The USPSTF recommends the service. There is high certainty that the net benefit is moderate or there is moderate certainty that the net benefit is moderate to substantial.
Offer or provide service C
The USPSTF recommends selectively offering or providing this service to individual patients based on professional judgment and patient preferences. There is at least moderate certainty that the net benefit is small.
Offer or provide service for selected patients depending on individual circumstances D
The USPSTF recommends against the service. There is moderate or high certainty that the service has no net benefit or that the harms outweigh the benefits.
Discourage use of service
I Statement
The USPSTF concludes that the current evidence is insufficient to assess the balance of benefits and harms of the service. Evidence is lacking, of poor quality, or conflicting, and the balance of benefits and harms cannot be determined.
Read the clinical considerations section of USPSTF Recommendation Statement. If the service is offered, patients should understand the uncertainty about the balance of benefits and harms.
Last OMM test, she said know A and B
…and asked questions on them both

Testing includes the PSA blood test with or without a rectal exam. How often they are tested will depend on their PSA level.
AUA – may start screening as young as age 40 with PSA and DRE
