Although previous investigations have described the impact age and race have on “normal” range PSA, many of these investigations were of small sample size and over a short period of time. We sought to reinvestigate the age adjusted reference range for PSAs in men in a minority enriched community. METHODS: Henry Ford Health System is a large, racially diverse, integrated healthcare system in Southeast Michigan which was one of the first health care systems to utilize the electronic medical record. Over the study period (1995-2019), men aged 45 years or older and who self-identified as African American (AA), White (W) or other (O) and underwent PSA testing were included in the study. Men were further stratified into age categories, 45-50, 50-60, 61-70, 71-80 and >80 years. PSA values following a diagnosis of PCa were excluded. RESULTS: In all, 139,936 (W:99,873, AA:34,334 and O:5729) patients underwent at least one PSA test during the study. A total of 813,434 PSAs were completed, 5.4 (IQR: 2.0-7.0) PSAs were performed for each patient and 1.2 PSAs per year per patient. The median PSA increased with each successive age group, Figure 1. The screening sensitivity for AA between the ages of 50-60 and 60-70 was 91% and 92% respectively, compared to 77% and 82%, respectively for W counterparts when using a PSA cut off of 4. The specificity was 84% and 75% for AA between the ages of 50-60 and 60-70, respectively, compared to 88% and 82%, respectively for W counterparts, Table 1. CONCLUSIONS: AAPSA values varied between age groups and races and were less when compared to historical cohorts. A PSA cutoff of 4 may also not provide AA men with the same screening benefit as W men. This information may provide clinicians with valuable PSA reference ranges when caring for patients of different racial and age profiles.
