Relationship between the polyp detection rate and the post-colonoscopy colorectal cancer rate.
CONCLUSION: polyp detection rate is a valuable quality indicator of colonoscopy and its calculation is much simpler than that of the adenoma detection rate. In our study, the prevalence of post-colonoscopy colorectal cancer was inversely and significantly related to the endoscopists' polyp detection rate.
