Several breast cancer risk-assessment models exist. Few studies have evaluated predictive accuracy of multiple in large screening populations.We the performance BRCAPRO, Gail, Claus, Breast Cancer Surveillance Consortium (BCSC), and Tyrer-Cuzick predicting risk over 6 years among 35 921 women aged 40-84 who underwent mammography at Newton-Wellesley Hospital from 2007 to 2009. We assessed model discrimination using area under receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) calibration by...
Background Screening breast MRI is recommended for women with BRCA mutation or a history of chest radiation, but guidelines are equivocal screening personal cancer high-risk lesion. Purpose To evaluate performance across different elevated risk indications. Materials and Methods All examinations performed between 2011 2014 underwent retrospective medical record review. Indications were as follows: carrier radiation (BRCA/RT group), family (FH (PH lesion (HRL group). metrics calculated...
The purpose of this study was to determine the clinical utility breast MRI for diagnosing malignancy in women with equivocal mammographic findings but no symptoms.Retrospective review an institutional database 7332 contrast-enhanced examinations from January 1, 2009, through December 31, 2012, yielded records 296 (4.0%) 294 without symptoms who underwent uncertain at diagnostic evaluation. Imaging findings, histopathologic results, and patient demographics were obtained electronic medical...
Purpose To (a) evaluate the frequency of Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) category 3 assessment in screening diagnostic breast magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, (b) review findings considered indicative BI-RADS 3, (c) determine outcomes lesions, including upgrades, downgrades, malignancy rates. Materials Methods This retrospective study was approved by institutional board compliant with HIPAA. The authors retrospectively reviewed MR imaging database (2009-2011) to identify...
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect background parenchymal enhancement (BPE) on breast cancer risk across different high-risk patient populations undergoing screening MRI.Consecutive MRI examinations performed between 2011 and 2014 were reviewed. Multivariate logistic regression using generalized estimating equations was used assess association following variables with risk: age, qualitative BPE prospective clinical assessment (minimal or mild vs moderate marked),...

Abstract Objective To evaluate the effect of prior comparison MRI on interpretive performance screening breast MRI. Methods After institutional review board approval, all examinations performed from January 2011 through December 2014 were retrospectively reviewed. Screening metrics estimated and compared for exams with without a MRI, using logistic regression models to adjust age indication (BRCA mutation or thoracic radiation versus cancer history high-risk lesion family history). Results...

Abstract Quality checklists have demonstrated benefits in healthcare and other high-reliability organizations, but there remains a gap the understanding of design approaches levels stakeholder engagement development these quality checklists. This scoping review aims to synthesize current knowledge base regarding use various for developing healthcare. Secondary objectives are explore theoretical frameworks, principles, involvement engagement, characteristics methods used The followed...
