As one example, they recommend "against routine screening for AAA [Abdominal Aortic Aneurysmin] in women."
"Rationale: Because of the low prevalence of large AAAs in women, the number of AAA-related deaths that can be prevented by screening this population is small. There is good evidence that screening and early treatment result in important harms, including an increased number of surgeries with associated morbidity and mortality, and psychological harms. The USPSTF concluded that the harms of screening women for AAA outweigh the benefits."This message has been edited. Last edited by: Sheltieguy,
