Diagnostic consequence of colonoscopy repeated within 3 years at a tertiary hospital: a single‐centre observational study
Adherence to NHMRC surveillance colonoscopy guidelines after polypectomy is inadequate, with almost half of colonoscopies being performed outside of the recommended surveillance interval. The diagnostic yield for advanced adenomas, SSLs or colorectal cancer from repeat colonoscopies within 3 years of the previous one for all indications was low. Therefore, we recommend increased scrutiny of the appropriateness of repeat colonoscopy referrals within 3 years of the previous one.
