A retrospective analysis of the histology of resected polyps and colonoscopy quality parameters in Belgium.

Most resected polyps were adenomas, only a small percentage involved sessile serrated lesions. There was a significant correlation between adenoma detection rate and other quality parameters, and a small but significant correlation between PCCRC and the different quality parameters. The lowest post colonoscopy colorectal cancer rate was reached with an ADR of 31.4 % and a SSL-DR of 1.2 %.
