Risk of advanced lesions at first follow-up colonoscopy in high-risk groups as defined by the United Kingdom post-polypectomy surveillance guideline: data from a single U.S. center.
The United Kingdom (U.K.) post-adenoma resection guidelines recommend earlier surveillance for patients with 5 or more adenomas or 3 to 4 adenomas of which one is 10 mm or larger compared with U.S. guidelines. ⋯ Our results indicate the U.K. guideline predicts higher risk groups for advanced neoplasia at first follow-up. Our study had inadequate power to show better prediction of incident cancer. Additional study of other databases is warranted.
