- This study highlights that screening for primary aldosteronism is recommended for patients with hypertension and obstructive sleep apnea, yet adherence to these guidelines is low, likely due to perceived costs.
- A decision-analytic model was used to compare costs and health outcomes of guideline-recommended screening versus current practices, finding that guideline adherence is both less expensive and more effective.
- The findings suggest that increasing adherence to screening guidelines can save costs and reduce cardiovascular risks for patients, indicating that cost should not hinder the implementation of these recommendations.

However, patient access to this operation has not been studied at the population level. The purpose of this study was to determine differences in utilization rates of adrenal metastasectomy (ADMX) across patient populations.
