Abstract: provided by family physicians (66%).At the beginning of the study period, serum testosterone measured in an estimated 43% of men, and this increased in the pre-intervention time period by 0.2% per month; there was no significant change in this trend after Nov 2014 (p¼0.27).We identified 60,209 men with a new diagnosis of prostate cancer.The median age was 67 (IQR 61-74), and approximately 2/3 were stage 1 or 2. At the beginning of the study period, bone scans were performed in an estimated 18% of men undergoing active surveillance, and this decreased by 0.05% per month in the pre-intervention time period; there was no significant change in this trend after Nov 2014 (p¼0.07).CONCLUSIONS: In Ontario, there was no evidence of a significant change in two practice patterns that were subject of the Choosing Wisely Urology recommendations.Further mechanisms for translating these and future recommendations into behavior change may be necessary.
