Adherence to Obstetrician-/Gynecologist-Ordered Multi-target Stool DNA Test Screening and Follow-Up Colonoscopy: A National Multi-payer Study of US Women

MGMallik GreeneLGLeobon GamengPNPeter Nowd

Key Points

  • The study aims to assess adherence rates to OB/GYN-ordered multi-target stool DNA tests and subsequent colonoscopies among women in the U.S.
  • Analyzed national data from multiple payers regarding mt-sDNA tests and colonoscopy completions.
  • Focused on adherence rates among women following positive mt-sDNA results.
  • Examined possible disparities based on income, race, and ethnicity.
  • Over 70% of women completed OB/GYN-ordered multi-target stool DNA testing.
  • More than 70% of women with positive mt-sDNA tests underwent colonoscopy within one year.
  • Identified gaps in adherence related to payer, income, and racial/ethnic factors.

Abstract

In routine practice, more than 70% of women completed OB/GYN-ordered mt-sDNA testing and, after a positive result, more than 70% completed colonoscopy within 1 year. OB/GYN clinicians may play a key role in improving CRC screening adherence, with opportunities to address gaps by payer, income, and race/ethnicity.
