Sir — We thank Laverty et al. for their correspondence and congratulations in response to our work.1 Please accept our apologies for the discrepancy in polyp categorisation. The revised polyp data in line with National Bowel Cancer Screening programme, the European Society of Gastrointestinal and Abd ominal Radiology (ESGAR) consensus guidelines2 and other published studies is as follows3,4: the total polyp detection rate was 13.5% (241 polyps) in 170 patients; 153 (63.5%) polyps were ≥10 mm in size compared to 88 (36.5%) measuring between 6–9 mm.
