Prostate-Specific Antigen Screening and 15-Year Prostate Cancer Mortality: A Secondary Analysis of the CAP Randomized Clinical Trial
CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: In this secondary analysis of a randomized clinical trial, a single invitation for PSA screening compared with standard practice without routine screening reduced prostate cancer deaths at a median follow-up of 15 years. However, the absolute reduction in deaths was small.TRIAL REGISTRATION: isrctn.org Identifier: ISRCTN92187251.PMID:38581198 | DOI:10.1001/jama.2024.4011 (Source: Cancer Control)

Outreach work in Belgian primary care practices during COVID-19: results from the cross-sectional PRICOV-19 study
CONCLUSIONS: In this study, outreach work in PCPs during the COVID-19 pandemic is facilitated by the group-type cooperation of GPs and by the support of at least one staff member of the disciplines of nursing, social work, or health promotion. These findings suggest that improving the effectiveness of outreach efforts in PCPs requires addressing organizational factors at the practice level. This applies in particular to PCPs having a more socially vulnerable patient population.PMID:38570775 | DOI:10.1186/s12875-024-02323-6 (Source: Primary Care)

Small Independent Primary Care Practices Serving Socially Vulnerable Urban Populations
CONCLUSIONS: Small independent practices serving vulnerable patients in urban communities are surviving because deeply committed physicians are making personal sacrifices. Health equity-focused policies could decrease the burden on these physicians and bolster independent practices so that socially vulnerable patients continue to have options when seeking primary care.PMID:38527816 | DOI:10.1370/afm.3068 (Source: Annals of Family Medicine)
