Abstract in brief

  • The systematic review of studies up to 2006 found that the periodic health evaluation (PHE) is linked to improved delivery of certain preventive services like gynecologic exams, cholesterol screening, and fecal tests, and may reduce patient worry.
  • The evidence was mixed and varied in quality, with some studies showing benefits and others having limitations, such as being conducted before current guidelines, which affects their relevance to modern practice.
  • Overall, while more research is needed to understand the long-term benefits, harms, and costs, the review suggests that implementing the PHE can be beneficial for improving preventive care in clinical settings.
