Comparing Cancer Primary and Secondary Prevention Documentation Between Different Digital Health Approaches in the Emergency Department.

Background: Decreasing primary care access and increasing emergency department (ED) usage is a potential contributor to declining cancer screening prevalences in those facing barriers to health care access. The ED is a non-traditional yet potentially high-yield setting for implementation of interventions to monitor and increase cancer screening.

Methods: An ED-administered survey in July 2022 gathered data on breast, cervical, and colorectal cancer screening, as well as human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination status of females presenting to the ED for care.

A feasibility study assessing knowledge, vaccine hesitancy, and completion rates of free HPV vaccination in low-income uninsured adults.

Background: Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination rates remain low in the U.S., particularly among minorities and low-income, uninsured patients.

Emergency Department Visits Before Cancer Diagnosis Among Women at Mayo Clinic.

Objective: To determine associations of incident cancer diagnoses in women with recent emergency department (ED) care.

Patients And Methods: A retrospective cohort study analyzing biological females aged 18 years and older, who were diagnosed with an incident primary cancer (12 cancer types studied) from January 1, 2015, to December 31, 2021, from electronic health records. The primary outcome was a cancer diagnosis within 6 months of a preceding ED visit.

Modification of Fundamentals of Laparoscopic Surgery Manual Tasks Simulation Curriculum With the Addition of the Vaginal Cuff Closure Training.

Objective: Fundamentals of Laparoscopic Surgery (FLS) is a multiple-choice test and a manual skills exam using simulation that Obstetrics and Gynecology (OBGYN) residents must pass to qualify for board certification. There is insufficient validity evidence supporting the use of FLS as a high-stakes exam. This study examines the correlation between OBGYN residents' performance on the FLS manual tasks and simulated vaginal cuff closure.

Disparities in Timeliness of Endometrial Cancer Care: A Scoping Review.

Objective: We use the person-centered Pathway to Treatment framework to assess the scope of evidence on disparities in endometrial cancer stage at diagnosis. This report is intended to facilitate interventions, research, and advocacy that reduce disparities.

Data Sources: We completed a structured search of electronic databases: PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus, ClinicalTrials.
