- A multivariable risk prediction model has been developed to prioritize patients at the highest risk for colorectal cancer (CRC) who are awaiting surveillance colonoscopy, especially when the demand for the procedure is high.
- Despite polyp removal, some patients remain at elevated risk for CRC and require surveillance colonoscopy. However, at times, the demand for colonoscopy exceeds capacity, leading to waiting lists.
- The study involved a cross-sectional analysis to develop and validate a multivariable prediction model. This model was compared with a guideline-based model that categorizes patients based on previous polyp findings.
- The study included 52,848 patients who underwent surveillance colonoscopy between 2014 and 2022, divided into model development, internal validation, and external validation cohorts.
