ADR is defined as the proportion of screening colonoscopies that detect at least one adenoma. 17 The rationale for using ADR as a quality measure was based on three assumptions. 17 Clearing the large bowel of neoplasms is the goal of endoscopic screening and surveillance for CRC. Multi-specialty and stakeholder guidelines support the importance of measuring the adenoma detection rate in the prevention of colorectal cancer. Guidelines and the supporting literature support performance targets for adenoma detection rate of 25% for a mixed gender population (20% in women and 30% in men).

PY - 2017/11/1. Y1 - 2017/11/1. N2 - Background Current recommendations are to calculate the adenoma detection rate (ADR) in screening colonoscopies only. The adenoma detection rate (patients with adenomas found/total procedures performed) and that is the adenoma detection rate (multiply by 100 to get the percent.) This year, a task force of all the large governing bodies in gastroenterology published new quality guidelines and (not A recent study uncovered adenoma detection rates significantly higher than those set in national guidelines in a recent study, suggesting that these benchmarks may be too low.

Measuring adenoma detection rate is key in determining the success of a colonoscopy. The ASGE has linked higher adenoma detection rates to better and longer examinations, better colonic distention and better
