“…Our findings are thus in keeping with a likely need to promote greater awareness of the approved indications for AAA screening under Medicare and facilitate access to these services. Based on data from Medicare beneficiaries and primary care physician surveys, utilization of AAA screening ultrasound is estimated to be in the range of only <10% to 20% [16,17].…”

“…Assuming AAA screening should be performed as indicated in USPSTF guidelines, current research suggests a pervasive underutilization of the recommended sonography. In fact, utilization is estimated only in the range of <1% to 20% based on Medicare beneficiary data and primary care physician surveys (25)(26)(27). The elderly poor are disproportionately underscreened and prone to late AAA detection and rupture (28)(29)(30).…”

Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) are a leading cause mortality and morbidity but often go undiagnosed until late stages unless imaging is performed. In 2005, the United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) for the first time recommended one-time ultrasound screening for elderly male smokers and selective screening in other populations. These guidelines were reaffirmed and updated in 2014; a proposal for potential further revisions is now in early planning stages. In this article, we review the past and current USPSTF AAA screening recommendations and techniques for performing optimal screening. Evidence supporting screening and alternative guidelines are also discussed. In addition, emerging concepts and controversies in AAA screening are highlighted, including conflicting data on screening benefits, screening underutilization, inconsistent follow-up recommendations, and the potential for duplicative testing, alternative screening modalities, and clinically significant incidental findings.

Clinical patient recruitment (CPR) is a critical function in clinical research. However, there is no holistic design for CPR systems that incorporates functions to support all critical success factors of clinical trial performance. In order to fill this gap, a study based on a literature review and several semistructured expert interviews was conducted. Existing theory was synthesized with newly found influence factors using categories from CPR theory and factors gathered from literature and experts. The result is a systematization of influence factors of CPR that can be used for derivation of requirements for CPR systems in a subsequent research step or for the purpose of causal modeling.
