773 development of an automated algorithm to generate evidence based recommendations for colonoscopy surveillance intervals
Primary care physicians, colorectal surgeons and gastroenterologists do not adhere to evidence based colonoscopy surveillance intervals. Colonoscopy resources are valuable and limited, and inappropriate overuse is wasteful. The aim of this study is to develop a user friendly and automated algorithm that utilizes colonoscopy and pathology data to generate appropriate surveillance intervals, according to guidelines based on polyp characteristics.
