Estimation of the Time Needed to Deliver the 2020 USPSTF Preventive Care Recommendations in Primary Care

Natalie Privett et al.

Summary: The study found that providing USPSTF-recommended preventive services to 2500 adult patients would require 8.6 hours per day, encompassing 131% of a physician's available time. While there are fewer recommendations in 2020 compared to 2003, they require more physician-patient contact hours per working day.

Time to Colonoscopy After Abnormal Stool-Based Screening and Risk for Colorectal Cancer Incidence and Mortality

Yazmin San Miguel et al.

Summary: The study found that delayed colonoscopy completion after an abnormal stool-based colorectal cancer screening test is associated with higher risk of CRC incidence, death, and late-stage CRC. Therefore, interventions to improve CRC outcomes should emphasize diagnostic follow-up within 1 year of abnormal screening results.

Screening for Colorectal Cancer: Updated Evidence Report and Systematic Review for the US Preventive Services Task Force

Jennifer S. Lin et al.

Summary: There are multiple screening options for colorectal cancer, each with varying levels of evidence in reducing cancer mortality, detecting cancer or precursor lesions, and risks of harms. This systematic review summarizes published evidence on the benefits and harms of screening for colorectal cancer in asymptomatic, community-dwelling adults to support the 2021 US Preventive Services Task Force Recommendation Statement.

Screening for Colorectal Cancer: US Preventive Services Task Force Recommendation Statement

Karina W. Davidson et al.

Summary: Colorectal cancer is a significant cause of cancer-related deaths, with high incidence in adults aged 65 to 74. Screening is recommended for adults aged 50 to 75 with substantial net benefit, for those aged 45 to 49 with moderate net benefit, and selective screening is advised for adults aged 76 to 85.

Perceptions on Barriers and Facilitators to Colonoscopy Completion After Abnormal Fecal Immunochemical Test Results in a Safety Net System

Rachel B. Issaka et al.

Summary: A qualitative study investigated barriers and facilitators to colonoscopy completion among patients with abnormal FIT results in a safety net health care system. Clinician-identified factors such as social determinants of health and organizational factors were found to play a role in completion rates, suggesting that interventions informed by these factors are needed to address multilevel challenges to colonoscopy completion.
