This study presents a model to project mammographic screening numbers, crucial for breast cancer mortality reduction. Long-term participation targets may be unmet due to screening attrition.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Epidemiology
  • Health Services Research

Background:

  • Mammographic screening aims to decrease breast cancer mortality.
  • Accurate projection of screening numbers is vital for resource allocation and program evaluation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a method for projecting mammographic screening numbers.
  • To apply this projection method in New South Wales, Australia.

Main Methods:

  • Projected total mammographic screens by summing initial screens and re-screens.
  • Incorporated population projections, recruitment and attrition rates, and screening interval mix.
  • Utilized a baseline scenario with 70% participation for women aged 50-69, 90% re-screen return rate, and biennial screening.

Main Results:

  • Screening projections were significantly influenced by target age group screening rates, annual re-screening proportions, and program attrition.
  • Demographic changes had a notable impact, but population projections showed minimal differences.
  • Standard attrition assumptions suggest current participation targets in NSW may not be sustainable long-term.

Conclusions:

  • A practical model for population-based mammographic screen projection has been developed.
  • This model can forecast screen numbers under various scenarios, aiding in planning and resource management.
  • Re-screening attrition is a critical factor influencing the long-term viability of mammographic screening programs.
