Patient-reported complications related to colonoscopy: a prospective feasibility study of an email-based survey.

CONCLUSIONS: This study shows that email-based questionnaires give a high response rate independent of age or gender, but that the response rate declines with time after colonoscopy. Minor adverse events are underestimated, and colonoscopy could lead to sick leave in a minor subgroup of patients. PMID: 30523730 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
