Abstract
BACKGROUND
While the adenoma detection rate (ADR) is associated with post-colonoscopy colorectal cancer (PCCRC) risk, it is unknown to what extent this reflects missed colorectal cancer (CRC) versus missed pre-cancerous lesions. We evaluated the association between physician ADR and prevalent CRC detection during colonoscopy.
METHODS
We used cross-sectional 2019-2022 GI Quality Improvement Consortium (GIQuIC) data for >1.73 million colonoscopies performed by 3567 endoscopists for screening or abnormal fecal test (AFT) follow-up from 683 US endoscopy units. Endoscopist ADR and sessile serrated lesion detection rate (SSLDR) were determined based on screening exams.
RESULTS
CRC was detected in 0.3% of screening and 1.5% of follow-up colonoscopies. From lowest to highest endoscopist ADR quintile, CRC detection increased from 26.6 (95% confidence interval (CI) 24.4-27.9) to 33.1 (95%CI 29.7-33.7), and from 107.8 (95%CI 96.2–129.4) to 164.7 (95% CI 140.8–188.6) per 10,000 screening and AFT follow-up colonoscopies, respectively. In multivariable models with lowest ADR quintile as reference, the odds ratios (ORs) of CRC detection in the highest ADR quintile were 1.27 (95% CI 1.14-1.41) for screening and 1.50 (95% CI 1.16-1.93) for AFT follow-up colonoscopies. Compared to high-ADR/high-SSLDR endoscopists, the ORs of CRC detection were lower for low-ADR endoscopists irrespective of SSLDR (high-SSLDR, 0.87, 95% CI 0.80-0.96; low-SSLDR 0.92, 95% CI 0.85-0.98), but similar for high-ADR/low-SSLDR endoscopists.
CONCLUSIONS
ADR reflects prevalent CRC detection as well as detection and removal of CRC precursors. Our findings suggest that PCCRC is not uncommonly due to missed CRC, especially among endoscopists with low ADR.
期刊介绍:
Gastroenterology is the most prominent journal in the field of gastrointestinal disease. It is the flagship journal of the American Gastroenterological Association and delivers authoritative coverage of clinical, translational, and basic studies of all aspects of the digestive system, including the liver and pancreas, as well as nutrition.
Some regular features of Gastroenterology include original research studies by leading authorities, comprehensive reviews and perspectives on important topics in adult and pediatric gastroenterology and hepatology. The journal also includes features such as editorials, correspondence, and commentaries, as well as special sections like "Mentoring, Education and Training Corner," "Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in GI," "Gastro Digest," "Gastro Curbside Consult," and "Gastro Grand Rounds."
Gastroenterology also provides digital media materials such as videos and "GI Rapid Reel" animations. It is abstracted and indexed in various databases including Scopus, Biological Abstracts, Current Contents, Embase, Nutrition Abstracts, Chemical Abstracts, Current Awareness in Biological Sciences, PubMed/Medline, and the Science Citation Index.
