Outcome of Colonoscopy Screening and Surveillance
The investigator's goal is to collect data from the endoscopy reports and clinic station
reports to complete a descriptive analysis of the demographics, colonoscopy procedure
performance, and assess the type of benign colon polyps detected during screening and
surveillance from 02/01/2009 - 12/31/2020.
Specific variable to be reviewed:
1. Patient Demographics: Age, Sex, Race, Height, Weight, BMI (patient privacy will be
acknowledged).
2. Indications for Colonoscopy (screening, surveillance, symptoms or tertiary referral
[EMR])
3. Comorbid conditions: cancer and surgical history, medical conditions,
4. Colonoscopy procedure; quality of colon preparation (using the Boston Bowel Preparation
Scale) 0 - 3 for each section of the colon (Ascending, Transverse, Descending and Total
Colon) , cecal intubation rate, cecal intubation and total procedure time, type of
colonoscope (if CO2 was used in the procedure and techniques for colonoscope insertion,
including position changes.
5. Examination findings: number of polyps and nature of polyps removed (site, size,
surface, vascular pattern); type of polyp removed; optical features and histology of
polyps.
6. Resection techniques: biopsy, snare resection, endoscopic mucosal resection etc.
7. Including Pathology report findings so that a comparison can be made of the optical
features and actual pathology report.
8. Outcomes of colonoscopy: adenoma detections
9. Outcome of colonoscopy: Complications (Bleeding and performance)

Observational Model: Cohort, Time Perspective: Prospective
Polyp Detection in Colon Cancer Screening and Surveillance
Descriptive tables presented for demographics, polyp counts, colonoscopy experiences, polyp removals and findings. Proportions presented with 95% confidence intervals. Continuous values such as age and times presented with median, minimum and maximum. Comparisons among patient subgroups made with chi-square tests for categorical data and t-tests or the non-parametric alternative, Wilcoxon tests, to compare continuous measures. Graphics such as box plots, trellis plots, bar graphs, or stacked bar graphs used to describe distributions overall and among subgroups.
