Epidemiological Data from Patients Who Underwent Colonoscopy from High-Susceptibility Vacancies

Abstract Objective The objective of this study was to analyze the epidemiological profile of patients to propose measures that facilitate regulation and access to diagnostic imaging exams. Methods Data were collected from 157 scheduled exams for high-suspicion colonoscopy through regulation systems and electronic medical records from January to December 2023. Results: The data showed a higher rate of appointments among females, particularly in older age groups (71–80 years). There was a high rate of non-attendance on the day of the exam scheduled during the coldest months of the year. The most prevalent biopsy location was the colon region, with a predominance of low-grade adenomas and polyps. Conclusion Facilitating access to diagnostic imaging exams includes regionalization in scheduling. Monitoring results allows for the tracking of family members, enabling preventive action and early diagnosis.
