Resumo
This cross-sectional study aimed to estimate
mammogram coverage in the State of Goiás, Bra-
zil, describing the supply, demand, and variations
in different age groups, evaluating 98 mammog-
raphy services as observational units. We esti-
mated the mammogram rates by age group and
type of health service, as well as the number of
tests required to cover 70% and 100% of the tar-
get population. We assessed the association be-
tween mammograms, geographical distribution
of mammography machines, type of service, and
age group. Full coverage estimates, considering
100% of women in the 40-69 and 50-69-year age
brackets, were 61% and 66%, of which the Bra-
zilian Unified National Health System provided
13% and 14%, respectively. To achieve 70% cover-
age, 43,424 additional mammograms would be
needed. All the associations showed statistically
significant differences (p < 0.001). We conclude
that mammogram coverage is unevenly distrib-
uted in the State of Goiás and that fewer tests are
performed than required.
