Screening colonoscopy utilization among adults living with spina bifida.
This study examined colorectal cancer (CRC) screening colonoscopy utilization rates among adults living with SB;MethodUsing the California Health Care Access and Information database (2005-2017), a matched control group was established to compare colonoscopy utilization. After adjustment, SB was independently associated with lower odds of screening colonoscopy (OR 0;84, 95% CI 0;76-0;93);ConclusionFindings underscore the need for targeted interventions to improve CRC screening accessibility for this vulnerable population.
