Abstract

Background: The use of screening mammography varies by patient characteristics. This study examined the annual mammography utilization trends among female Medicare beneficiaries and breast cancer survivors, overall and by beneficiary characteristics. Materials and Methods: This retrospective, serial cross-sectional study used the 2002-2016 Medicare Current Beneficiary Survey (MCBS), including fee-for-service female Medicare beneficiaries who resided in community settings and who completed the survey (n = 53,788, weighted n = 206,259,890). Self-reported mammography utilization and breast cancer history were identified through the survey. Annual trends in the proportion of using mammography were examined using simple linear regression models, overall and by beneficiary's age, race, geographic region, and count of comorbidities. Multivariable models with generalized estimating equations were used to examine factors associated with mammography utilization. Results: Overall, the mammography utilization trends significantly decreased during the 2002-2016 period for both cohorts (p = 0.004 for female beneficiaries from 50.85% in 2002 to 40.55% in 2016 and p = 0.041 for breast cancer survivors from 68.36% in 2002 to 55.21% in 2016).

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
