Timely receipt of mammograms to screen for breast cancer in accordance with the United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommendations can substantially reduce morbidity and mortality. The purpose of this study is to assess whether odds of receiving screening mammograms are similar for women with and without visual impairment. Retrospective longitudinal cohort study. 1044 females, 65–72 years of age, enrolled in fee-for-service Medicare from January 1, 2008 to December 31, 2015. We matched patients with no vision loss (NVL), partial vision loss (PVL), and severe vision loss (SVL) 1:1:1 based on age, race, time in Medicare, urbanicity of residence, and overall health. Women with pre-existing breast cancer were excluded. Multivariable conditional logistic regression modeling compared the odds of receiving screening mammography within a 2-year follow-up period among the 3 groups. Proportion receiving mammography and adjusted odds ratios (OR) of receiving mammography within 2 years of follow-up among the groups. A total of 1044 patients were matched (348 in each group). The mean ± SD age at the index date was 69.0 ± 1.5 years for all 3 groups. The proportion of women receiving ≥ 1 mammogram within the 2-year follow-up period was 69.0% (n=240), 56.9% (n=198), and 56.0% (n=195) for the NVL, PVL and SVL groups, respectively (p=0.0005). The mean ± SD number of mammograms received per patient during the 5-year period (3-year look-back plus 2-year follow-up period) was 3.1 ± 2.0, 2.5 ± 2.0, and 2.3 ± 2.1 for the NVL, PVL and SVL groups, respectively (p<0.0001). Women with SVL had 42% decreased odds (OR=0.58; 95% CI: 0.37–0.90, p=0.01), and those with PVL had 44% decreased odds (OR=0.56; CI:0.36–0.87, p=0.009) of receiving mammography during the follow-up period compared to those with NVL. Women with visual impairment were significantly less likely to receive mammography to screen for breast cancer than their non-visually-impaired counterparts. Clinicians should look for ways to help ensure that patients with visual impairment receive mammograms and other preventive screenings as recommended by the USPSTF. Visually-impaired women are substantially less likely to undergo screening mammography in accordance with United States Preventive Services Task Force guidelines to check for breast cancer than their non-visually-impaired counterparts.
