The association between cognitive impairment and breast and colorectal cancer screening utilization
BMC Cancer May 15, 2021
Yang S, Bian J, George TJ, et al. - This study was undertaken to investigate the utilization and predictors of breast and colorectal cancer screening among screening eligible, cognitively impaired individuals. Researchers examined the 2018 and 2019 National Health Interview Survey data (n = 12,965 and 24,782, respectively) on individuals eligible for breast or colorectal cancer screening. The percentage of cancer screening eligible individuals who received mammogram or colonoscopy by cognitive impairment status was calculated. Multivariable logistic regression was used to evaluate if having a recent mammogram or colonoscopy differed by cognitive impairment status, adjusting for covariates. The outcomes indicate the need for additional research to address utilization and efficacy of cancer screening in individuals with cognitive impairment.
