Adjusting for Patient Demographics has Minimal Effects on Rates of Adenoma Detection in a Large Community-Based Setting

摘要

Background & AimsReliable estimates of adenoma detection rates (ADRs) are needed to inform colonoscopy quality standards, yet little is known about the contributions of patient demographics to variation in ADR. We evaluated the effects of adjusting for patient age, race/ethnicity, and family history of colorectal cancer on variations in ADRs and the relative rank order of physicians.
