Abstract

Our study investigates the trends in prostate cancer screening amid the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly focusing on racial disparities between Black and White men. Utilizing data from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System from 2018, 2020, and 2022, we analyzed prostate-specific antigen screening rates in men aged 45-75 years. Our findings reveal initial declines in screening rates for both groups during the pandemic, with subsequent recovery; however, the pace of rebound differed statistically significantly between races. Whereas White men showed a notable increase in screening rates postpandemic, Black men's rates recovered more slowly. This disparity underscores the impact of socioeconomic factors, health-care access, and possibly systemic biases affecting health-care delivery. Our study highlights the need for targeted interventions to address these inequalities and ensure equitable access to prostate cancer preventive care in the aftermath of COVID-19.

前列腺特异性抗原筛查流行后趋势的种族差异。
我们的研究调查了 COVID-19 流行期间前列腺癌筛查的趋势,尤其关注黑人和白人男性之间的种族差异。利用行为风险因素监测系统 2018 年、2020 年和 2022 年的数据,我们分析了 45-75 岁男性的前列腺特异性抗原筛查率。我们的研究结果表明,在大流行期间,两个群体的筛查率最初都有所下降,随后有所恢复;然而,不同种族的反弹速度在统计学上存在显著差异。白人男性的筛查率在大流行后明显上升,而黑人男性的筛查率恢复得更慢。这种差异凸显了社会经济因素、医疗服务的可及性以及可能影响医疗服务的系统性偏见的影响。我们的研究突出表明,有必要采取有针对性的干预措施来解决这些不平等现象,并确保在 COVID-19 之后能够公平地获得前列腺癌预防保健服务。
