Defining Abnormal Prostate-Specific Antigen Values for Prostate Cancer Screening in Spinal Cord Injury Patients
This study analyzed nearly 35,000 male veterans with spinal cord injury to establish age-adjusted PSA reference ranges for prostate cancer screening, accounting for factors like chronic urinary tract inflammation and hypogonadism that affect PSA levels in this population. The findings provide clinically relevant PSA threshold values specific to SCI patients, which differ from standard reference ranges used in the general population.
