Learning Objectives By the end of this educational activity, the participant should be better able to: 1. Discuss the U.S. Preventive Services Task force Level A and B Recommendations. 2. Determine the predicted longevity of your geriatric patients. 3. Give your patients an improved understanding of screening procedures. 4. Determine which patients will benefit. 4

Outline Screening Issues Life Expectancy Ounce of Prevention Screening Recommendations The Email 6
Screening Issues Who Benefits? 7
Effective Medical Screening Common disease and significant mortality Accurate test Tolerable Positive result allow for beneficial intervention Test is cost effective Cure is cost effective 8
Quandary We have many healthy active older adults Guidelines do NOT address these adults No evidence of one age at which potential benefits of screening suddenly cease or potential harms suddenly become substantial Need to consider life expectancy Need to consider comorbidities Lifetime risk of dying from a particular cancer Patient preferences 9
Choosing Wisely Society of General Medicine Don’t recommend cancer screening in adults with life expectancy of less than 10 years Mortality benefit emerges years after the test is performed Expose patients to immediate potential harms 10
Lag Time for Preventive Screening Lag Time to Benefit Common Clinical Intervention Screening 1-2 Months SSRIs for Depression 6 Months Statins for Secondary Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease, Finasteride for BPH 1-2 Years BP Control for Primary Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease 1-3 Years Strict BP and Lipid Control in Type 2 Diabetes 8-10 Years Tight Glycemic Control for Prevention of MV CX 10 Years Colon and Breast Cancer Screening for Reducing Mortality 11

Life Expectancy No survival benefit unless LIFE EXPECTANCY exceeds TEN years for cancer screening AGS, ACP , AAFP , and USPSTF reflect this uncertainty Lack of direct evidence for patients > 70 Good functional status and NO comorbidities are presumed to be in the upper quartile (75 th percentile) Patients with significant comorbidity and functional impairment are presumed to be in lower quartile (25 th percentile) 14
