A User-Friendly Colonoscopy Quality Score: Utility Of A Convenient Composite Measure That Does Not Require Histology

Colonoscopy remains the gold standard for detection of colorectal cancer. Known indicators of colonoscopy quality include adenoma detection rate (ADR) and cecal intubation rate (CIR); polyp detection rate (PDR) is often used as a more convenient surrogate for ADR as it does not require pathologic analysis. The aim of this study was to assess whether a composite colonoscopy quality score, based on readily available parameters (PDR, CIR), correlates more closely with ADR than the individual parameters themselves (PDR and CIR).
