Ingrid A. Binswanger,Marc Stern,Richard A. Deyo,Patrick J. Heagerty,Allen Cheadle,Joann G. Elmore,Thomas D. Koepsell +6 more
TL;DR: Former prison inmates were at high risk for death after release from prison, particularly during the first 2 weeks, and interventions are necessary to reduce the risk of death after released from prison.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ten-year risk of false positive screening mammograms and clinical breast examinations.
Joann G. Elmore,Mary B. Barton,Victoria M. Moceri,Sarah Polk,Philip J. Arena,Suzanne W. Fletcher +5 more
TL;DR: Over 10 years, one third of women screened had an abnormal test result that required additional evaluation, even though no breast cancer was present, and Physicians should educate women about the risk of a false positive result from a screening test for breast cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Screening for Breast Cancer
TL;DR: In the community, mammography remains the main screening tool while the effectiveness of clinical breast examination and self-examination are less, and new screening modalities are unlikely to replace mammography in the near future for screening the general population.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inviting Patients to Read Their Doctors' Notes: A Quasi-experimental Study and a Look Ahead
Tom Delbanco,Jan Walker,Sigall K. Bell,Jonathan D. Darer,Joann G. Elmore,Nadine Farag,Henry J. Feldman,Roanne Mejilla,Long Ngo,James D. Ralston,Stephen E. Ross,Neha Trivedi,Elisabeth Vodicka,Suzanne G. Leveille +13 more
TL;DR: Patients accessed visit notes frequently, a large majority reported clinically relevant benefits and minimal concerns, and virtually all patients wanted the practice to continue, with doctors experiencing no more than a modest effect on their work lives.
Journal ArticleDOI
Variability in Radiologists' Interpretations of Mammograms
TL;DR: Efforts to improve accuracy and reduce variability in interpretation may increase the effectiveness of mammography in detecting early breast cancers.
