AIAC group had lower adenoma and polyp detection rates; lower median number of adenomas, polyps detected per colonoscopy

However, no significant difference seen in the risk for death from colorectal cancer for those invited to screening, receiving usual care

ADR of endoscopists inversely associated with the risk for interval postcolonoscopy CRC in FIT-positive individuals

Effective strategies needed for earlier detection and interception of metachronous lesions

For all BMI/sex groups, initiating colonoscopy at 45 years or annual FIT at 40 years is cost-effective at threshold of $100,000/QALY

Reduced risk seen with earlier initiation of endoscopy, including lower risk for colorectal cancer diagnosed in women before 55 years of age

Adenoma miss rate drops by half for both proximal and distal colon lesions

Overall rate of colonoscopy completion was 85 percent in Hispanic population; reasons for cancellation, no-show included cost

Guidelines address diagnosis and management, use of diagnostic colonoscopy in complicated disease, and interventions to prevent recurrence
