Article: The value of audit in identifying health inequalities – HQIP

The National Prostate Cancer Audit (NPCA) explains how clinical audit highlights unwarranted differences in diagnoses and treatment, as part of Clinical Audit Awareness Week.

National Prostate Cancer Audit @npca-natcan.bsky.social · 28/04/2025

Taken together, these findings highlight the importance of refocusing efforts on prostate cancer screening and detection policies in England and the UK. @natcan-news.bsky.social @alison-tree.bsky.social @prostatecanceruk.bsky.social

National Prostate Cancer Audit @npca-natcan.bsky.social · 28/04/2025

A higher rate of metastatic prostate cancer and a lower rate of prostate cancer overall was also seen among men living in more deprived neighbourhoods, suggesting that the risk of being diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer is also linked to their socioeconomic background.

120

National Prostate Cancer Audit @npca-natcan.bsky.social · 28/04/2025

⚠️ Another key finding of this study is that higher rates of metastatic prostate cancer were seen in regions with lower rates of prostate cancer diagnosis overall which may be linked to variation in the use of PSA testing.

122

National Prostate Cancer Audit @npca-natcan.bsky.social · 28/04/2025

🚨 Regional annual rates were found to vary between 4 and 7 per 100 000 men, with the highest rates seen in Northern England; South Yorkshire and Bassetlaw; Humber, Coast and Vale; West Yorkshire and Harrogate; and the Peninsula. The lowest rates were seen in London and the South-East.

👉 Use varied across sMDTs from 20% to 54%, with greater variation in older patients 👉 Findings highlight underuse and the need for standardised care to address disparities We hope you find this paper useful and please get in touch with any feedback npca@rcseng.ac.uk

National Prostate Cancer Audit @npca-natcan.bsky.social · 07/03/2025

The study explored variation in treatment intensification for mHSPC across England and found 👉 Only 39% received intensification with lower uptake in Black and deprived populations 👉 Intensification was given to 60% of men under 75 but dropped to 17% in those over 75

Graph showing percentage patients treated on the y axis and patient age on the x axis marking the probability of treatment according to age. A sharp drop in the probability is seen at the age of 75 yrs.
