Incidence, characteristics, and predictive factors of post-colonoscopy colorectal cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Post-colonoscopy colorectal cancer (PCCRC) is colorectal cancer (CRC) diagnosed after a colonoscopy in which no cancer is found.

Objective

As PCCRC has become an important quality indicator, we determined its rates, characteristics, and index colonoscopy-related predictive factors.

Methods

We carried out a multicenter, observational, retrospective study between 2015 and 2018. Rates were calculated for PCCRC developing up to 10 years after colonoscopy. PCCRC was categorized according to the most plausible explanation using World Endoscopy Organization methodology. Our PCCRC population was compared to a control cohort without CRC matched 1:4 by sex, age, index colonoscopy date, indication, endoscopist, and hospital.

Results

One hundred seven PCCRC and
