Update on mammography trends: Comparisons of rates in 2000, 2005, and 2008
Open accessAbstract
BACKGROUND: Mammography screening allows for the early detection of breast cancer, which helps reduce mortality from breast cancer, especially in women aged 50 to 69 years. For this report, the authors updated a previous analysis of trends in mammography using newly available data from the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS). METHODS: NHIS data from 2008 were used to update trends in rates of US women who had a mammogram within the 2 years before their interview, and 2 methods of calculating rates were compared. The authors focused particularly on the 2000, 2005, and 2008 mammography rates for women aged ≥40 years, 40 to 49 years, 50 to 64 years, and ≥65 years according to selected sociodemographic and healthcare access characteristics. RESULTS: For women aged 50 to 64 years and ≥65 years, the patterns were similar: Rates rose rapidly from 1987 to 2000, declined, or were stable and then declined, from 2000 to 2005, and increased from 2005 to 2008. Rates for women aged 40 to 49 years rose rapidly from 1987 to 1992 and were relatively stable through 2008. There were large increases in mammography rates among immigrants who had been in the United States for <10 years, non‐Hispanic Asian women, and women aged ≥65 years who were without ambulatory care insurance. CONCLUSIONS: Overall, mammography rates did not continue to decline between 2005 and 2008. Even so, in 2008, the percentage of women aged ≥40 years who had a recent mammogram fell below the Healthy People 2010 objective of 70%, which was met in 2000. However, women aged 50 to 64 years exceeded the Healthy People objective in 2000, 2005, and 2008; and some groups with very low mammography rates currently are catching up. These are important public health achievements. Cancer 2011. © 2010 American Cancer Society.

Stable or declining breast cancer trends by the early 2000s are linked to a reduced prevalence of menopausal hormone-replacement therapy and possibly a plateauing in screening participation.

The Results and Conclusions (pages unavailable) report that mammography use peaked around 2000 and was broadly stable from 2000 to 2008. The Conclusions also hypothesize that fewer visits for hormone-therapy prescriptions contributed to reduced mammography use. The paper does not link stable or declining breast cancer trends to either change. (LLM, conf=0.84)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
