Serrated polyp detection rate in colonoscopies performed by gastrointestinal fellows.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Clinically significant serrated polyp detection rate (CSSDR) and proximal serrated polyp detection rate (PSDR) have been suggested as the potential quality benchmarks for colonoscopy (CSSDR = 7% and PSDR = 11%) in comparison to the established benchmark adenoma detection rate (ADR). Another emerging milestone is the detection rate of lateral spreading lesions (LSLs).

Objectives

This study aimed to evaluate CSSDR, PSDR, ADR, and LSL detection rates among gastrointestinal (GI) fellows performing a colonoscopy. A secondary aim was to evaluate patient factors associated with the detection rates of these lesions.

Design and methods

A retrospective review of 799 colonoscopy reports was performed. GI fellow details, demographic data, and pathology found on colonos
