Figure 2a. Graphs illustrate the ratio of findings per patient ({blacksquare}) and the ratio of recommendations per patient ({square}) and per finding ({bullet}) over the total number of patients per age group. (a) Overall, the number of findings and recommendations per patient increased as the age increased; the number of recommendations per finding was similar for all age groups, except for a nonsignificant increment in middle-aged patients (40–49 and 50–59 years old) (P = .09). Similar patterns were seen for (b) men and (c) women. Women had a higher number of recommendations per finding (P = .001) and per patient (P = .14) than did men in all age groups.
