The aim of the paper is to present the characteristics of elderly with a positive test result for the Dubrovnik-Nereva County (DNC) at the age of 65 - 74 years as part of the 3rd - 5th calling cycle. Methods : We used data from the NCCSP IT solution and survey questionnaire that people submitted with test samples in the period April 4th 2016 until May 26th 2023 for the analyzed cycles, processed by descriptive statistical method. Results : The results are shown collectively for all observed cycles, according to gender, for 603 people (326 men and 277 women) with a positive test (7.1% of men and 5.1% of women among those tested). Respondents mostly live in a married or cohabiting union (77.0% of men, 59.9% of women), have a secondary education (47.5% of men and 44.4% of women). According to the body mass index (BMI), most men have increased body mass, 47.5% (39.4% of women). The obese category, BMI > 40, was recorded in 0.9% of men and 1.1% of women.

Adenoma detection rate (ADR), polyp detection rate (PDR) and cecal intubation rate (CIR) are quality indicators for screening or diagnostic colonoscopy. The available data from previously conducted research regarding ADR, PDR and CIR in groups of patients who were deeply sedated with propofol and those who underwent colonoscopy without sedation are inconclusive. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of deep sedation vs. no-sedation on ADR, PDR and CIR in group of elderly patients. Methods : This was a retrospective cohort study which included adult patients over the age of 60, presenting for a first screening or diagnostic colonoscopy performed over a 4-month time. Participants’ characteristics were assessed using descriptive statistics. Normal distribution was assessed using Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Shapiro-Wilk tests. Continuous variables were analyzed using Mann–Whitney test and categorical variables using Chi-square or Fisher exact test. Binary logistic regression was conducted to identify significant predictors of the outcomes. Two-tailed tests were conducted, and statistical significance was considered when p <0.05. Results : Among 196 patients (53.9% female; mean age: 68.5 years) deep sedation was performed in 97 patients (48.2%). Total PDR was 51.2%, ADR was 18.8%, and CIR was 94.5%. Overall, no significant difference was shown in PDR and ADR between no-sedation and deep sedation groups (χ2(1, N =196)=0.498, P=0.48, χ2(1, N =196)=0.47, P=0.49 respectively). After adjustments for BMI, colon diverticulosis and history of abdominal surgery differences, CIR was significantly higher in deep sedation group (χ2(1, N =196)=6.407, P=0.01). Conclusion : In our mixed cohort of elderly patients undergoing screening and diagnostic colonoscopies, use of propofol-induced deep sedation did not improve ADR or PDR. On the other hand, CIR was influenced by deep sedation. Therefore, further investigations are needed to identify the impact of deep sedation on colonoscopy quality indicators in elderly groups of patients.","PeriodicalId":246678,"journal":{"name":"Liječnički vjesnik","volume":"82 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140694658","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
