Female preventative Visit Stephanie Overmars, D.O. IOA 117th Annual Convention May 4, 2014
Introduction • Health maintenance examination is an opportunity to focus on disease prevention • No consensus on the optimal frequency • Chance for physicians to strengthen their relationship with patients
Recommendations • Recommendations for this presentation come primarily from the United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) and are supported by the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP).
Scheduling a follow up appointment • “Today we will be addressing issues that are important for preventative care. I am proud that you are taking the step to be on top of health promotion. Unfortunately, this may not include all of your chronic illness concerns. If we run out of time today, we may need to schedule a follow up appointment.”
Updating past history • Medical • Allergies • Medications • Surgeries • Specialists • Social • Family History
Smoking Status • 18.1% of US adults over 18 years of age smoke cigarettes. • Cigarette smoking is the leading cause of preventable death in the US. • More than 16 million Americans suffer from a disease caused by smoking. • Assess readiness to quit.
Alcohol Screening • C – Have you ever felt like you should cut down on your drinking? • A – Have people annoyed you by criticizing your drinking? • G – Have you ever felt bad or guilty about your drinking? • E – Have you ever had a drink first thing in the morning (eye opener) to steady your nerves or to get rid of a hangover?
Alcohol Consumption • If you drink alcohol, drink no more than one drink per day. One drink is counted as:
Domestic violence screening • The USPTF has provisionally recommended that women of childbearing age be screened for potential partner violence. • Women who screen positive should be referred to intervention services.
Depression Screening • PHQ2 (Patient Health Questionnaire 2): Inquires about the frequency of depressed mood over the past 2 weeks • Over the past 2 weeks, how often have you been bothered by any of the following problems?1. Little interest or pleasure in doing things • 2. Feeling down, depressed, or hopeless • Individuals rate “not at all” (0) to “nearly every day: (3). Score of > 2, recommend filling out PHQ9. • A PHQ 9 score of > 10 has increased probability of being diagnosed as depressed.
Family Planning • Premenopausal women should be screened about reproductive plans. • In those patients not wishing to get pregnant – discuss contraception. • In those patients wishing to get pregnant – discuss supplementation with folic acid, prenatal vitamins, and other appropriate counseling measures.
Sexually Transmitted INfection • USPSTF recommends high risk women be screened at least annually for chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis. • USPSTF recommends sexually active women age 24 years and younger be screened annually for chlamydia. • USPSTF and CDC recommend screening all adolescents and adults through 65 years of age for HIV.
Coronary Heart Disease • Heart disease is the #1 cause of death in women in the US. • Routinely screen • Blood pressure • Weight • Cholesterol • Glucose
Blood pressure* *In the general population younger than age 60
Weight • Elevated body mass index (BMI) is a marker of unhealthy weight. BMI is measured by taking into account a patient’s weight and height; BMI is measured in kg/m2. • Underweight: BMI < 18.5 • Normal weight: BMI 18.5-24.9 • Overweight: BMI 25-29.9 • Obesity: BMI > 30
Waist Circumference • Measured with a nondistensible tape measure placed around the abdomen at the umbilicus parallel to the floor with the patient standing. • Goal • Women < 35 inches
Preventative labs • Cholesterol • Women 20 years and older if increased risk • Screen every 1-5 years • Glucose • All women beginning at age 45 • All overweight women with risk factors • Asymptomatic adults with elevated blood pressure • Other
Aspirin • USPSTF recommends that women 55 to 79 years of age take at least 75mg of aspirin per day when the benefit of stroke prevention outweighs the risk of GI hemorrhage.
Sleep • Most women older than 18 years of age need 7-9 hours of sleep a night.
Exercise • AHA recommends at least 30 minutes of moderate intensity aerobic activity at least 5 days a week. • AHA recommends at least 25 minutes of vigorous aerobic activity 3 days per week and moderate to high intensity muscle strengthening activity 2 days per week.
Have you seen your dentist lately? • Nearly ½ of adults age 30 and older have a form of chronic inflammatory gum disease that can ultimately lead to tooth loss. • Prevention of gum inflammation reduces tooth loss, but there is little evidence to support a twice yearly visit to the dentist for everyone.
Do you see what I see? • USPSTF concludes that that current evidence is insufficient to assess the balance of benefits and harms of screening for visual acuity for the improvement of outcomes in older adults. • AAO Recommends*: • Age < 40 – every 5-10 yrs • Age 40-54 – every 2-4 yrs • Age 55-64 – every 1-3 yrs • Age > 65 – every 1-2 yrs *Adults with No Risk Factors
Mammogram • The USPSTF and AAFP recommend routine biennial screening beginning at 50 years of age with discontinuation at 75 years of age. • The ACOG and ACS recommend annual screening beginning at age 40 without a specific discontinuation age.
Colonoscopy • Adults 50 to 75 years of age should undergo screening • FOBT (annually) • Sigmoidoscopy (every 5 years) plus FOBT (every 3 years) • Colonoscopy (every 10 years)
DEXA Scan • DEXA is routinely recommended for women 65 years of age and older. • Screening women younger than 65 years of age should be based on risk assessment.
Pap Smear/Pelvic Exam • Start screening at age 21 • Low risk: Screen every 3 years • Co-testing for HPV is an option at age 30 • Discontinue screening at age 65, or after hysterectomy due to benign pathology
Immunization Status • Influenza – 1 dose annually (ages 19+) • Adults aged 65 years or older can receive the standard dose or the high dose (Fluzone) • Tdap – substitute 1 time dose of Tdap for Td booster; then boost with Td every 10 years (ages 19+) • Varicella – 2 doses (ages 19+) • All adults without evidence of immunity to varicella. • Doses must be at least 4 weeks apart. • Do not give during pregnancy. • HPV – 3 doses (ages 19-26) • Second dose given 4-8 weeks after the first dose • Third dose given 24 weeks after the first dose and at least 16 weeks after the second dose (minimum interval of 12 weeks). • Do not given during pregnancy
Immunization Status • Zoster – 1 dose (ages 60+) • May given immunization whether there is a prior episode of herpes zoster or not • Pneumonia – 1 dose (ages 65+) • May give dose for < 64 years of age if chronic condition criteria is met. • One time revaccination 5 years after the first dose is recommended for 19-64 years of age with chronic renal failure, function or anatomic asplenia, or immunocompromising conditions • Persons who received 1 or 2 doses before age 65 years for any indication should receive another dose of the vaccine at age 65 if at least 5 years have passed since their previous dose • No further doses are needed for persons vaccinated after age 65 years
