In a study published in Gastroenterology, researchers studied more than 45,000 patients. During a follow-up, 32 endoscopists detected 42 interval CRC cases. Median cecal intubation rate was 93.8 percent, and median adenoma detection rate was 12.2 percent. Using a Cox proportional hazards regression model, researchers suggest the patient’s age and endoscopist’s adenoma detection rates serve as independent predictors of interval CRC.
This study highlights the need for additional studies to determine what adenoma detection rate is appropriate as benchmark for quality colonoscopy outcomes.
