Objective. To examine @entity1 and medical characteristics which predict a @entity16164 ( @entity16164 ) for @entity14 ( @entity14 ). Methods. The sample consisted of 252 @entity1 diagnosed with Stages 1-4 @entity14 who were diagnosed in the prior six months, had experienced symptoms prior to diagnosis, and were not diagnosed through routine screening. Systematic review of all medical records prior to @entity1 ' diagnosis was conducted. An @entity16164 was defined as a clinical encounter where, even in the presence of presumptive @entity14 symptoms, the @entity14 diagnostic process is not started. Results. 92 @entity1 (36.5%) experienced an @entity16164 . Almost 80% of alternate diagnoses were other @entity66 , including @entity6713 and @entity4436 . @entity158 , @entity417 , and @entity1142 were the most common symptoms experienced by the @entity16164 group. These symptoms, and @entity353 , were more likely to be noted in the charts of the @entity16164 @entity1 (P < 0.04). Independent risk factors for @entity16164 included age (<50) [OR = 2.29 (1.14-4.60), P = 0.02] and female sex [OR = 2.19 (1.16-4.16), P = 0.03]. Each additional physician seen, more than doubled the @entity16164 risk [OR = 2.05 (1.53-2.74), P < 0.001]. Conclusions. Females, younger @entity1 , and those consulting more physicians were all more likely to experience an @entity16164 . Continued increased training of physicians to enhance knowledge of who is vulnerable to @entity14 is needed in addition to an increased focus to adherence to screening recommendations.
