Geir Hoff et al. Patient-reported adverse events after colonoscopy in Norway

This population-based study examined patient-reported adverse events taken from more than 11 000 procedures that were accompanied by a patient feedback report. The free-text reports identified 29 additional severe adverse events and increased the total number of such events from 6 to 35 – a 6-fold increase. This study shows the importance of patient feedback to capture adverse events after colonoscopy that are not easily disclosed otherwise.
