Retrospective matched study reveals lower screening mammography rates in women with diabetes, highlighting disparities in preventive breast cancer care.

Key Points

To determine whether women with diabetes undergo screening mammography less frequently than matched control subjects without diabetes.
Retrospectively analyzed 424 women with diabetes aged 50–75 years and 845 matched non-diabetic controls (matched 1:2 by age, sex, primary care provider, and visit date) between August 1997 and January 2000.
Assessed mammography completion within 1 year before and 30 days after an index visit using conditional logistic regression adjusted for race and insurance status.
Women with diabetes had significantly lower unadjusted screening mammogram rates than matched controls (78.1% vs. 84.9%; OR 0.63, P = 0.002).
Lower screening utilization among women with diabetes remained statistically significant after adjusting for insurance status and race (OR 0.70, P = 0.027).
