The ADR, which is a quality benchmark for colonoscopies, is hard to calculate because it requires endoscopic and histologic data. Researchers measured the strength of the relationship between estimated ADR and actual ADR based on Pearson’s correlation coefficient. Results showed the correlation between the estimated and actual ADR was 0.85, according to the study.
Researchers note that further studies need to be conducted in order to verify whether a conversion can be applied to different practice settings and patient groups.
