Overview

Analysis reveals area deprivation index impacts PSA screening frequency in men, suggesting healthcare access gaps.

Key Points

  • Lower rates of PSA screening frequency were found in men living in more deprived areas.
  • Among 266,203 patients, only 20.9% were non-Hispanic Black, with significant disparities in screening rates.
  • Multivariable Poisson regression analysis indicated that those in the least deprived quartile had a significantly higher probability of receiving PSA screening.
  • These findings highlight the need for targeted outreach strategies to enhance preventive healthcare access for disadvantaged populations.
