Adenoma Detection Rate in Average-Risk Population: An Observational Consecutive Retrospective Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Although colonoscopy is considered the most effective tool for reducing colorectal cancer-related morbidity, the age at which average-risk individuals begin colonoscopic screening is undetermined. This study aimed to compare the adenoma and advanced adenoma detection rates according to age and sex in a large average-risk population in the rural areas of Eastern China.

Methods

This observational, single-center, retrospective study included patients with average colorectal cancer risk and examined the adenoma and advanced adenoma detection rates using age intervals of 5 years. We also compared the size and age of patients with and without advanced adenoma.

Results

We included 18 928 patients with a median age of 54 years (range 15-90 years), including 10 143
