Colonoscopy compliance and diagnostic yield in a large population-based colorectal cancer screening programme.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

With the intention of providing a reference for secondary prevention, our study provides some insight on diagnostic yield of factors influencing compliance with colonoscopy and the presence of advanced adenomas (AA).

Methods

We conducted large-scale CRC screening among local Tianjin residents aged 40-75 years between 2012 and 2019. A high-risk factor questionnaire (HRFQ) was distributed to each participant, followed by the performance of a fecal immunochemical test (FIT). Participants who tested positively for any of these items were advised to undergo a colonoscopy. Relevant basic information was collected from participants during CRC screening, and the screening data were sorted and analysed.

Results

A total of 5,670,924 people participated in CRC screeni
