The primary aim of this study is to determine the rate of total metachronous advanced neoplasia (TMAN) detection after index detection of serrated lesions (SL) \[sessile serrated polyps (SSPs), traditional serrated adenomas (TSAs)\], and metachronous high-risk adenoma (HRA) after index detection of high-grade dysplasia (HGD). We will use the database of patients diagnosed with SL or HGD at index colonoscopy with a delay in surveillance and determine the risk of advanced lesions (especially high-risk lesion and CRC detection) of these delayed colonoscopies. The aim is to determine the effects of breach of continuity of care in these patients.
Colorectal cancer (CRC) ranks second among worldwide cancer related deaths and third in terms of cancer incidence. Colonoscopy-based screening programs have been established to reduce CRC morbidity and mortality. Multiple guidelines have established surveillance recommendations for repeat colonoscopies based on findings at index colonoscopy. Serrated lesions (SLs), including sessile serrated polyps/adenomas (SSP) and traditional serrated adenomas (TSA) have become of increased interest for their role as precursors of CRC. The optimal timing of follow-up colonoscopies after detection of SLs has been controversial as studies looking into optimal surveillance timing are lacking. The US Multi Society Task Force (USMSTF) 2020 guidelines recommend 5-10y surveillance intervals for detection of 1-2 SSPs, 3-5y for 3-4 SSPs, 3y for \>4 SSPs or TSA. In contrast, the 2020 European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE) Guidelines state that 1-10mm SLs do not require follow-up. It is unclear what the appropriate surveillance intervals is for patients with SLs which is evidenced by diverging recommendations from USMSTF/ESGE. High-grade dysplasia (HGD) is an exceedingly rare finding in colorectal polyps. The current literature on the yield of colonoscopy after index HGD is sparse, with conflicting data on risk of metachronous HRA due to low numbers of included HGD leading to high variability in reported outcomes. Patient with SL or HGD diagnosed from 2010-2022 will be gathered from the pathology department to determine which patients lack follow-up during these years. Patients with lack of follow-up will be contacted by phone, then invited to undergo follow-up colonoscopy as part of our routine clinical follow-up of these patients' files. In addition to the primary and secondary endpoints, data collected will include patient age; sex; ASA class; past medical history; family history of CRC; procedure date; name of endoscopist; colonoscopy indication; BBPS score; withdrawal time; adenoma and polyp detection rate at index and follow-up colonoscopy; completeness of polypectomy; polyp location, size, surface, morphology (Paris classification), histopathology; complications, immediate and late (14 days).
