We compared these rates with and without adjustment for patient and exam factors using multivariable models, and adjustment for imprecision due to low volume using empirical Bayes (shrinkage). Power calculations were used to compare the ability of ADR and APC to distinguish higher from lower rates over two time periods for an endoscopist. <b>Results</b> APC and ADR had similar discriminatory ability for assessing TEA. This increased with higher volumes and after adjusting for risk factors and low volume using shrinkage. Higher APC and ADRs had higher power for comparing endoscopist detection over two time periods, but APC was superior to ADR. For example, there was 29% power to distinguish APCs (n = 200 colonoscopies) 0.10 from 0.15, similar to the power (28%) to distinguish corresponding ADRs: 10% and 14%.
