Adenoma Detection Rates by Physicians and Subsequent Colorectal Cancer Risk.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Patients of physicians with higher adenoma detection rates (ADRs) during colonoscopy have lower colorectal cancer (CRC) risk after screening colonoscopy (ie, postcolonoscopy CRC). Among physicians with an ADR above the recommended threshold, it is unknown whether improving ADR is associated with a lower incidence of CRC in their patients.

Objective

To determine the association of improved ADR in physicians with a range of ADR values at baseline with CRC incidence among their patients.

Design, setting, and participants

A total of 789 physicians in the Polish Colonoscopy Screening Program were studied between 2000 and 2017, with final follow-up on December 31, 2022. Joinpoint regression analyses were used to identify trends between changes in ADR and postcolo
