Serrated polyp detection rates beyond adenoma detection rate for postcolonoscopy colorectal cancer: findings from the SCREESCO trial
By Sekiguchi M, Westerberg M, Andreasson A and 2 others.
Abstract
Background
The association between serrated polyp detection rates, including proximal serrated polyp detection rate (PSPDR), and postcolonoscopy colorectal cancer (PCCRC) remains unestablished. We investigated PCCRC incidence and characteristics, and explored associations of PSPDR and adenoma detection rate (ADR) with PCCRC in colonoscopy- and fecal immunochemical test (FIT)-based screening within the Screening of Swedish Colons (SCREESCO) trial.
Methods
Data from participants who underwent colonoscopy in the colonoscopy and FIT arms were analyzed. PCCRC, defined as colorectal cancer (CRC) diagnosed >6 months after a colonoscopy that did not detect CRC, was identified through linkage with cancer registries. Associations between PSPDR and PCCRC incidence were assessed using Cox models.
