Mohler, P. J. Enhancing compliance with screening mammography recommendations: a clinical trial in a primary care office.
In the two primary care sub-cohorts, clinician compliance with screening recommendations was sub-optimal.
Additional end-points include quality of life, health economics, morbidity and compliance with screening.
Compliance with screening programmes may therefore be improved by timing invitations in proximity to annual milestones.
Although colorectal cancer screening has been shown to reduce mortality from colorectal cancer, patient compliance with screening recommendations remains poor.
Nevertheless, screening programs for colorectal cancer have been only partly successful, owing largely to poor patient compliance with screening recommendations [ 4– 7].
We investigated whether invitations timed in proximity to annual milestones (birthdays, Christmas and New Year) had an impact on compliance with screening.
Nevertheless, screening programs for colorectal cancer have been only partly successful, owing largely to poor patient compliance with screening recommendations[ 3, 4].
Unfortunately, screening programs for colorectal cancer have been only partly successful, owing largely to poor patient compliance with screening recommendations [ 3, 4].
As previously reported, 4 5 in the mammography arm full compliance with screening after screen 1 (when compliance was 100%) varied from 86% (for screen 5) to 90% (for screen 2).
Although multiple prospective randomized trials and observational studies have demonstrated that mortality from colon cancer can be reduced with screening and removal of adenomatous polyps, compliance with screening guidelines remains low.
