10-year prevalence of diagnostic and screening colonoscopy use in Germany: a claims data analysis

Conclusion In 2017, about 45–50% of men and women in Germany aged 60–84 years had any colonoscopy in the previous 10 years, and about 11–26% had a screening colonoscopy. Our findings suggest no relevant social or regional disparities in the utilization of colonoscopy in Germany.
