Impact of a clinical decision support system on guideline adherence of surveillance recommendations for colonoscopy after polypectomy.
The goal of this study was to characterize guideline adherence of surveillance recommendations after implementation of an electronic medical record (EMR)-based Colonoscopy Pathology Reporting and Clinical Decision Support System (CoRS). Results showed that an EMR-based CoRS was widely used and significantly improved guideline adherence of surveillance recommendations.

Screening for cervical cancer with high-risk human papillomavirus testing: updated evidence report and systematic review for the US Preventive Services Task Force.
Cervical cancer can be prevented with detection and treatment of precancerous cell changes caused primarily by high-risk types of human papillomavirus (hrHPV), the causative agents in more than 90% of cervical cancers. The objective of this study was to systematically review benefits and harms of cervical cancer screening for hrHPV to inform the US Preventive Services Task Force.

Screening for atrial fibrillation with electrocardiography: evidence report and systematic review for the US Preventive Services Task Force.
The objective of this study was to review the evidence on screening for nonvalvular atrial fibrillation with electrocardiography (ECG) and stroke prevention treatment in asymptomatic adults 65 years or older to inform the US Preventive Services Task Force. The authors concluded that although screening with ECG can detect previously unknown cases of atrial fibrillation, it has not been shown to detect more cases than screening focused on pulse palpation.

Screening for ovarian cancer: Updated evidence report and systematic review for the US Preventive Services Task Force.
The researchers systematically reviewed evidence on benefits and harms of ovarian cancer screening among average-risk women to inform the United States Preventive Services Task Force. They concluded that, in randomized trials conducted among average-risk, asymptomatic women, ovarian cancer mortality did not significantly differ between screened women and those with no screening or in usual care.

Screening for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis: evidence report and systematic review for the US Preventive Services Task Force.
The authors systematically reviewed evidence on benefits and harms of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) screening for the US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF). They concluded that screening can detect AIS. Also, bracing and possibly exercise treatment can interrupt or slow progression of curvature in adolescence. However, there is little or no evidence on long-term outcomes for AIS treated in adolescence.
