Effect of the 2012 US Preventive Services Task Force Recommendations on Prostate-Specific Antigen Screening in a Medicare Advantage Population

Conclusions: Although the 2012 US Preventive Service Task Force’s recommendations were expected to only change behaviors among men aged 70–74, our analysis found that men aged 70–74 and aged 75+ exhibited similar trends from 2009 to 2019, including the increased use of low-value PSA screening since 2016. Multifaceted efforts to discourage low-value PSA screening would be important for a sustained impact.
