Aims Patients with ≥5 small adenomas or ≥1 adenoma ≥20mm are recommended to undergo one-year clearing colonoscopy according to the European guidelines. However, data from studies supporting this recommendation are not entirely consistent.
The aim of this study was to evaluate one-year colonoscopy diagnostic yield based on advanced adenoma (AADR), CRC (CRCDR) and serrated polyps (SPDR) detection rates.
Methods Descriptive, multicentric, cross-sectional study across four regions in Spain. Participants from organized FIT screening program between January 2014 and December 2015 were recruited. Inclusion criteria: ≥1 adenoma ≥20mm or ≥5 small adenomas. Exclusion criteria: incomplete procedure, inadequate colon cleansing, hereditary CRC syndromes and IBD.
Results A total of 1876 patients were included (73.6% male; median age 62 years-old (range 49-72)). 48.9% of patients presented ≥5 small adenomas, 39.6% had ≥1 adenoma ≥20mm and 11.5% fulfilled both criteria. The median of colonoscopies needed for diagnosis was 1 (range 1-6) and checking the polypectomy scar (34.9%) was the main reason for repeating the procedure. The median of time from baseline colonoscopy to surveillance was 13.1 months (25thP 12.1-75thP 14.4).
Detection rates during surveillance were: adenomas 58.2%, advanced adenomas 10%, serrated polyps 14.7%, advanced serrated polyps 2.5%, CRC 0.3% and advanced polyp detection rate 12.5%.
Patients with ≥10 adenomas [OR1.85 (95%CI 1.21-2.84)], advanced adenomas located proximal to sigmoid [OR1.63 (95%CI 1.19-2.24)] and those with ≥5 serrated lesions [OR2.42 (95%CI 1.02-5.75)] had increased risk of advanced polyps during 1-year surveillance colonoscopy. In the multivariate analysis, only both criteria (≥1 adenoma ≥20mm or ≥5 small adenomas) was related with advanced polyps during one-year clearing colonoscopy [(OR2.96 (95%CI 1.29-6.83)].
Conclusions In high-risk patients, advanced polyps detection rate was 12.5%, but only 0.3% of patients presented CRC. Patients who fulfilled both high-risk criteria benefit most from 1-year surveillance colonoscopy. It could be considered to extend the surveillance interval in the remaining patients.
