在一项BMJ研究中,向澳大利亚妇女通报乳房组织稠密,在不增进了解或结果的情况下,引起焦虑。 Notifying Australian women about dense breast tissue raised anxiety without improving understanding or outcomes, per a BMJ study.

根据BMJ对2 401名妇女进行的一项研究,在乳房X光检查增加焦虑和困惑之后,向澳大利亚妇女介绍稠密的乳房组织,但没有改善她们的知情意识。 Informing women in Australia about dense breast tissue after mammograms increased anxiety and confusion without improving their sense of being informed, according to a BMJ study of 2,401 women. 那些通过信件或视频得到通知的人更希望得到医生咨询,但感到没有更好的信息。 Those notified—via letter or video—were more likely to want doctor consultations but did not feel better informed. 虽然乳腺密度增加了癌症风险并使筛查复杂化,但没有任何证据表明,通知会改善健康结果。 While breast density raises cancer risk and complicates screenings, no evidence shows notification improves health outcomes. 专家们警告说,如果没有明确和公平的指导,这些政策可能会伤害病人和紧张的保健系统,同时敦促在广泛采用之前要谨慎行事。 Experts warn that without clear, equitable guidance, such policies may harm patients and strain healthcare systems, urging caution before widespread adoption.
