- Serrated Lesions of the Colorectum: Review and Recommendations From an Expert Panel (2012, background): “Recent guidelines on the technical performance of colonoscopy have recommended thresholds for adenoma detection by individual endoscopists, but have not made separate recommendations for detection rates of serrated lesions (121, 122).”
- Guidelines for colonoscopy surveillance after screening and polypectomy: a consensus update by the US Multi-Society Task Force on Colorectal Cancer. (2012, positive): “38–40 There is now evidence of a clear relationship between specific quality indicators and the risk of interval cancer after colonoscopy.”
- Quality Indicators for Colonoscopy (2015, methodology): “Thus, the recommendation has previously been that individual colonoscopists should identify one or more adenomas in at least 25% of men and 15% of women aged R50 years undergoing screening colonoscopy.(36,80,118) The rationale to set these targets below the mean prevalence of adenomas and well below”
- Guidelines for colorectal cancer screening and surveillance in moderate and high risk groups (update from 2002) (2010, background): “Most endoscopists examine the colon for polyps during withdrawal of the scope. Higher detection rates are associated with adequate distension, suction and cleaning, position change, and slow and meticulous examination of the colonic mucosa, including behind folds. The duration of the withdrawal phas”
