Figure 4. Optimal ages to re-screen after negative BE screen.
The re-screening objective functions to maximize, given prior screening age 45, 50, 58, 64, 69, are denoted for weighting w =1 (including typical case for current practice, screening age 50, shown in dashed lines). Optimal re-screen ages shown for all races, born in 1950 (diamonds). For the risk group-specific optimal first screening ages (dotted lines), the optimal re-screen ages were (A) 77 for all males, (B) 75 for GERD males, (C) 82 for all females, and (D) 80 for GERD females.
