Sensory Screenings
Disclaimer: All the health index scores referred to in this website were developed to help you gain better understanding of your health relative to preventive health information provided herein. Where in doubt, your health care provider takes precedence over recommendations derived from this website.
Based upon currently used inflammation score, cardiac risk factors, international prostate symptom score, pain scale etc, we have developed AI-based* questionnaire (PSBQ TM) that will enhance your basic understanding of the information provided by myqmd.com.
Please be informed that following questionnaire is adapted from PHQ* for headache and psychological conditions; Vision Screening/Visual Aquity/Photoscreening for eyes; TSH* for thyroid; PTH* for Parathyroid; Peak Flow/PFT* for lungs; Mammography for breast; EKG*, Coronary Calcium Score, Cardiac Enzymes, Echo, Exercise Stress Test, Cholesterol Screening for heart; H Pylori* for stomach; FBS*, A1C* and GTT* for metabolic diseases; Fractionated Amylase for pancreas; Pap Smear for Cervix; PSA* for Prostate; DRE*, FOBT* and Colonoscopy (Conventional or Virtual) for colon. The screening tools are not limited to the previously listed but when the need arises and further research studies are obtained, then our team will update the list to reflect the new advances. Most of the screening tools are found to be age-dependent.

Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA)
At risk: Men, age 65–75, with a history of smoking.
Screen for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA).
• Abdominal
Ultrasonography: Once • Periodic surveillance is recommended for asymptomatic AAAs <5.5 cm diameter.
• In general, referral is recommended for symptomatic AAAs of any diameter or asymptomatic AAAs ≥ 5.5 cm.
Assess Need for Aspirin and/or Statin Therapy for CVD & Stroke Risk
Calculate 10-year CVD/stroke risk every 5 years, based on ACC/AHA pooled cohort risk calculator.
Aspirin Therapy
• Low-dose aspirin (75-100 mg orally daily) might be considered for the primary prevention of ASCVD among select adults 40 to 70 years of age who are at higher risk ASCVD risk but not at increased bleeding risk (class of recommendation [COR] IIb, level of evidence [LOE] A).
• Low-dose aspirin 75-100 mg orally daily) should not be administered on a routine basis for the primary prevention of ASCVD among adults >70 years of age (COR III [harm], LOEB-R).
• Low-dose aspirin 75-100 mg orally daily) should not be administered for the primary prevention of ASCVD among adults of any age who are at increased risk of bleeding (COR III [harm], LOE C-LD)
• For adults aged 40 to 59 years: Estimate CVD risk using a CVD risk estimator.
• In patients whose estimated CVD risk is 10% or greater, use shared decisionmaking, taking into account potential benefits and harms of aspirin use, as well as patients’ values and preferences, to inform the decision about initiating aspirin.
• For patients initiating aspirin use, it would be reasonable to use a dose of 81 mg/day.
• For adults 60 years or older: Do not initiate aspirin for primary prevention of CVD.
Statin Therapy
• Patients 40 to 75 years with CVD risk factors should be considered for primary prevention statin therapy based on current evidence and when CVD/stroke risk is ≥7.5%.
Cognitive Impairment in Older Adults
Age 50 years or older, without recognized signs or symptoms of cognitive impairment
• Screening with MiniCog
http://www.mini-cog.com
Diabetes Mellitus (Type 2)
Age 35 to 70 and overweight or obese:
Screen all age 45 and older regardless of risk factors.
See discussion of screening for diabetes in BOP Clinical Guidance for Diabetes.
• Fasting serum glucose or hemoglobin A1C:
Every 3 years
The BOP recommends the use of serum glucose testing or A1C for initial screening and diagnosis. When fasting serum glucose values are borderline high, a fasting plasma glucose should be obtained.
Folic Acid
• Women of childbearing age: Supplements containing 400–800 µg of folic acid in the periconceptual period to reduce the risk for neural tube defects.
• Counsel inmate patient: Recommend OTC purchase through commissary for non-pregnant inmate patients.
Folic Acid
• Women of childbearing age: Supplements containing 400–800 µg of folic acid in the periconceptual period to reduce the risk for neural tube defects.
• Counsel inmate patient: Recommend OTC purchase through commissary for non-pregnant inmate patients.
Hypertension
• Ages 18 to 39
• Age 40 and older, or with risk factors (risk factors include borderline blood pressure elevations, overweight or obese, or African-American)
Blood pressure screening at baseline and:
• Every 3 to 5 years
• Consider annual screening
Lipids
• If diabetes, CVD, or PVD, beginning at age 20.. Fasting lipoprotein analysis: • Annually
• Average risk ages 21 to 39 Given the lack of data on the efficacy of screening for or treatment of dyslipidemia in adults aged 21–39 years, the USPSTF encourages clinicians to use their clinical judgment for patients in this age group. Total cholesterol & HDL: • Clinician judgement
• Average risk age ≥40 year Every 5 years
If lipid levels are close to warranting therapy, then shorten intervals between screenings.
Lipid lowering therapy should be considered as outlined in an acceptable national guideline. ACC/AHA and USPSTF prevention guidelines are acceptable references.
Obesity
• All sentenced inmate patients Height/weight/BMI:
• At baseline & each preventive health care visit
Osteoporosis
• Women age 65 and older
• Younger women whose fracture risk is equal to or greater than that of a 65-year-old white woman with no additional risk factors
• Risk-factor based: Women age 60–64 with body weight less than 70 kilograms and no current use of estrogen
Bone mineral density screening (BMD):
• The most commonly recommended test is dual x-ray absorptiometry (DXA).
Repeat BMD screening as clinically indicated. The following intervals are recommended:
• Normal BMD (T score of 1.00 or higher) or mild osteopenia (T score of 1.01 to -1.49) screen every 15 years
• Moderate osteopenia (T score of -1.50 to -1.99) screen every 5 years
• Advanced osteopenia (T score of -2.00 to -2.49) screen every year
Substance Use Disorders
• All inmate patients: Based on assessment, provide counseling and referral to BOP substance use disorder and smoking cessation programs.
At intake visit:
• Assess for substance use disorders history and need for withdrawal management and/or treatment.
