Quantifying performance thresholds for recommending screening mammography: a revealed preference analysis of USPSTF guidelines

ConclusionsUsing USPSTF revealed preferences, 31 –74% reductions in false-positives would be required to recommend mammography screening beyond biennial screening starting at age 50. Widespread implementation of tomosynthesis and reducing recall rates to the lower end of recommended recall rates (5–12%) would provide support for expanding scre ening beyond biennial screening in women age 50.
