149 patients (23.1%) with AA (65.7% in right colon). The median surveillance interval between colonoscopies was 60.0 months (36.0-60.0 IQR). On surveillance colonoscopy, the odds of having any adenoma in any part of the colon was 0.95 (95%CI 0.68-1.31; pZ0.74) in both groups; while the OR of having any AA was 1.26 (95%C 0.83-1.92; pZ0.29). However, patients with exclusively with right versus left colon adenoma had a significantly higher prevalence of metachronous exclusive right colon adenoma [54.45 vs 41.2%, p<0.001]. Conclusions: Having only right colon adenomas is more prevalent than only left colon adenomas. Patients with only right colon adenomas on index colonoscopy, when compared to those with only left colon adenomas: Don't have a higher risk of metachronous advanced adenomas. Have a higher risk of metachronous right sided only adenomas. This re-emphasizes the importance of a high-quality right colon examination.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
