Figure 1. Changes in Proportions of Patients Receiving Evaluative Care tests for BPH over the Study Period.

Figure 1

Among recommended care (Figure 1a) use of testing increased significantly over time for urinalysis (p<0.001), but decreased for PSA testing (p<0.001). Use of optional care (Figure 1b) increased significantly (p < 0.001) for all tests. Use of not-recommended care increased for all testing (p<0.001) except for ultrasonography of the kidney and prostate (stable utilization p = 0.416).
